ASU- Summer/Fall 2016

So my advisor told me that they anticipate review emails will go out this week, so I'm assuming either tomorrow or Friday. She also said acceptance emails will go out in April. Besides that she could not give me any extra information.

They told us in February it would take about this long to reply, but I didn't realize how close the summer semester would feel before hearing back.

I'm pretty confident with my advancement score, but I hate the idea of getting my schedule, books, and financial aide in order only a month or so before I start class.

I imagine how stressful it must be! Especially with the background check and everything else that needs to be completed before school starts. I hear that you can just buy all your textbooks in a package so at least that will be easy

During the BSN Information sessions in October/November they had handed us those 30 page packets. In those packets it mentioned that review emails would go out in March and acceptance emails would go out in April. I imagine in keeping with that schedule, we would receive the confirmation emails today, since it's the last day of March.

I imagine they must have received more applicants than normal, as my advisor said the reviewer was going as fast as she could. She also said within about a week of the advising team receiving our review papers (that we'll get in this coming review email and have to send to them withing 5 days), they'll send out the acceptance emails. I'm getting excited!

@Chembear- I never even thought about how close the acceptance notifications are to the summer session. Once we get those review emails, the ball should start rolling very quickly!! If you live on campus, could you ask maybe another nursing student where she got her book package and etc? See which books are actually necessary vs not?

My advisor said they were sticking to that timeline so I also think review emails should go out today. I think maybe there was more information to go through since a lot of people lost their direct admit and I would imagine there's a little bit more work looking at non-direct applications versus direct admit. There's a forum from past years that talks about books you'll need and which ones to rent, etc. that might be helpful for everyone

How do we know that some of the direct admit students lost there spot? I really hope so! I mean it's too bad they didn't keep up their GPA, but more room for non-direct!

5pm on the the last day of March and no email!! the wait is killing me! :crying2:

This is painful, haha.

K_karenh · Apr 1, 2016

This has to be some sort of torture

Surfsup95 · Apr 1, 2016

I imagine we must be getting a confirmation email tomorrow. I imagine they must not have anticipated this many applicants or something, as I doubt they are trying to torture us like they are, haha. Wouldn't it be awful if the acceptance emails went out on April fools? Lol.

Im reallllyyy trying to hang in here, guys...

I was there at the welcome meeting last semester, so I have the textbook package sheet. It is suuuuper expensive guys. The package includes an online charting sim program for a year, plus most of the textbooks needed. In total I think we need like 14 textbooks for Junior 1, but they said that for future semesters we would use some books again, and that's why the bulk of the books is in Junior 1. (I'm not sure about how summer works, this is just from what I know from Spring 2016) The package is missing like 3 books that the instructors said were also required. As for how much students actually used them, I have no idea. The package came in an all ebook version and a print+ebook version. The ebook version was like $750 I believe and the print was like $950. Personally I was freaking out about this and if you did want to rent the books out and just pay for the online program, it is much cheaper, but that doesn't include the fact that you might need those same books again plus more, and you would need to rent from multiple stores.
