Baptist Scholars Program

[cookiemonsterpower]

Is there anyone planning on applying to this program for Fall 2013.

-If you are have you sent in your application yet or are you waiting for your final transcript after your spring term?

-I am contemplating either sending it now or waiting for my final transcript.

-But I feel sending in the final transcripts is a better idea. What do you think?

-How strong a candidate do you feel you are?

-Anyone who applied , and/or was declined can you share your stats and how the whole process went?

-Anyone in the program now?

I know!! I am still going to nova even if i dont get the scholarship..

By the way, any update on ur MDC application? I know they started sending out acceptancr letter.

No I didnt apply to MDC. I did my AA there. I didnt to MDC because I wanted to do by BSN.

One of my friends got her interview for next week, so I wonder when they will let us know. Probably first week of July/ mid July right?

As an update: I was accepted in the program. I start now in Fall 2013.

If there are any future students interested in any pointers don't hesitate to pm me. Good luck to everyone and all your future endeavors. I am very grateful for this opportunity and will strive to become the best nurse I can be.

Hi @cooliemonsterpower

I was recently accepted into the Baptist Scholars Program for 2014 and I was pretty much just looking around to see if someone could give me a little insight/information about how the program is going for you and stuff?
