well, i decided to start this thread to get all of the arizona state bsn majors that are applying for the 16-month summer program starting in may of 2011 together. i went to the advancement workshop on 11/12/2010 and saw so many people there. i can't even imagine how many people will be applying. with only 100 seats open, it's going to be tough, although that's probably an understatement. the advancement scores for summer cycles have been lower than the traditional 24-month program in the past, but with all the changes that asu decided to make , i think things will be different this time around. i don't think my chances are very good compared to other applicants. i have a 3.81 gpa... realistically, i'll probably have to get like a 92% on the teas to be competitive against students that have a 4.0, which seems like most do. i don't think that's possible...but i gotta stay optimistic. with replacement course for sciences being virtually impossible to take (seeing how you need so many pre-reqs for them which the nursing program doesn't require), i'm starting to worry:crying2: .however, all i can do is study my butt of for the teas and see what happens.
anyhoo..... feel free to share comments and stories, ask questions, and connect with other students that are applying for the summer 2011 program. this is just a way for us to get through the long wait until april arrives and to provide encouragement for each other. :heartbeat
I'm super relieved to have gotten my acceptance letter today too! I felt pretty safe with a 5.71, but didn't want to count on it and get my hopes up and be confident because that makes for a further fall (and crash) if I didn't get in. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore!! Hurray!! Congrats to everyone else who got in! See you in 3 weeks!
I just got my letter as well :) Mayo for me too with a 5.866! The person who said they got in with a 5.72... what was your full score? 5.72 what? Just wondering for one of my friends who hasn't gotten her letter yet! Congrats everyone!! Seems like everyone made out pretty well. Really excited to meet all my Mayo 20 buddies! Gonna be a tough, fun 16 months for us!
Thanks for sharing student1984 :) Still waiting to hear from my friend! I have my fingers crossed and hope she gets into the Mayo program with me! Congrats on getting in!
Hey there everyone! I have yet to recieve my letter but am sure I will get mine tomorrow :) I have an advancement score of 5.574 so although I am abouve the cut off I won't feel the relief until I have that advancement letter in my hands!!! Congrats to everyone =D
I got in with 5.625! It hasn't really sunk in yet. I'm not as excited as I thought, just more relieved than anything. I'm sure I'll be jumping off the walls soon. I look forward to meeting everyone. See you all in a few weeks!
