Okay,
I just got my acceptance letter in the mail today!!
I was going totally mental with anxiety, checking this board several times a day to see when people were hearing back, compared to when they had applied and what their stats were. I was also very nervous about how I had done on the TEAS, so I wanted to post my info to help other people a little. Here are my stats:
I applied to the school January 4th, 2010. I took the TEAS January 23rd, 2010.
Previous BA degree in anthropology. I graduate in August of 2009 with a 3.46 cumulative GPA.
I took A&P I last fall, at Gateway: B
Developmental Psych: A
TEAS: 81.2% (mean national was 72.8% and the mean for the program 73.3%)
My adjusted individual scores were as follows:
Reading: 82.5%
Math: 82.2%
Science: 70%
English: 85.5%
In all my nervousness, I called two days ago and was told that I would likely hear back from the in school 4-6 weeks. Then I got my letter today, February 5th. For the record, my admissions essay was based on a CNA training course I took in the fall and I also think that having a previous BA really helped, especially in seeing past that nasty 70% in the science section of the TEAS.
Good luck and I hope this information was helpful, or at least of interest, to some of you!!
Hi! i have also applied for BHSN fall 2010 and im so nervous. I called today and they said my application was under reivew. My friend also called and they told her that they had a smaller number of applicants than normal. (like 550 instead of 700) making our chances almost 1 out of every 4! I also applied at SCSU, st.vincents, and goodwin college. SCSU is my first choice obviously because i would have a BSN and im already there, but BHSN is my second choice and ive heard so many great things about the program. I hope I get in!!!
Good luck Benedicth! You were smart in applying to a lot of programs. You should get into at least one of those. Let us know when you hear back from Bridgeport, or Southern for that matter. I just found out that another person received their acceptance letter today, so they are definitely working on getting them out. When do you expect to hear from Southern? Did they give you a timeframe? I missed the first deadline for them, so I wasn't able to apply. A BSN is definitely a plus! However, I heard from someone on this forum that they were really unhappy with the program and looking to transfer. I have yet to hear any negative feedback regarding BHSN.
Oh my god, I understand the nerves of everyone waiting for a letter! I just received my acceptance yesterday. :yeah:Hopefully I will be seeing every one of you this Fall. For those of you who are still waiting, I did call a few times. I didn't wanna bug them but I couldn't restrain myself. They are very nice, but basically say that you just have to be patient.
I took a public speaking course in high school... but I don't know if that will count. I also took COMS 101, but it wasn't specifically public speaking... more of a general understanding of communications course. I hope they accept that and I won't have to take it! I've done so much public speaking at work and I'm not very fond of it, either. I took a negotiations course through my job and it was brutal! Perhaps I can get some kind of credit for that too... but who knows.
It can be very nerve wracking the first few times you have to get up to give a presentation, but after a while it becomes much easier. The thing I found that helped is to try not to overanalyze what you are going to do when you get up there, else it can make you really nervous. I found preparing for things makes it worse for me. If you gave me a topic with no notice I could easily get up there and rattle off some things with ease because I didn't have enough time to build up any anxiety over it. If it is something you have to prepare for however, repetition always helps; slipping up the words would be one less thing to worry about.
jdoll - I have't heard from anyone who has receive a waiting letter yet. For some reason I think they send out all the acceptance letters first before mailing out letters for those on the waiting list.
benedicth - 3 weeks isn't too terrible. You'll probably hear back from BHSN before that. Good luck!! :)
i have taken 2 public speaking classes (intro to com and professional presentations) They really arent bad at all. Im not a fan of public speaking and I did fine. All you have to do is try and as long as youve let ur professor know that it makes you really uncomfortable they will work with you to make it so ur presentations are as painfree as possible. Plus there really arent that many presentations. In inro we did 3 real presentations and 2 kinda stupid just stand up and introduce yourself/ talk about something you like to do sort of deals and into professional presentations I think we did 4 the whole semester.
