Has anyone had a seat fee posted to their account yet? I thought they posted the seat fees first .....If letters are going out on Wednesday shouldn't we be seeing it soon?

I have not had anything posted to my account yet.

As to Corrines' statement about the TEAS exam, I did buy the online TEAS exams and found them very useful and eye opening. I highly recommend them. I think they really helped my placement. I actually did better on the real exam than on the online practice exams but they definitely helped. For the topics where I was weak I went to Khanacademy.org and refreshed in the weak areas. Anyhow, just my two cents.

Thank you for that information! :-) I'm curious to know if there are a lot of helpful websites to serve as a guide to the test. The breakdown from ATI isn't very helpful because it just refers you to their study guide which as I said before... is useless. I can't imagine $35 being much of a waste from the online tests plus it could really help finding other online guides to study from.

I definitely can see how the national percentage is like 64% because I found the actual test difficult. I remember only having around 5-8 Anatomy based questions which is ridiculous considering how much they cram into our heads during A&P, but then I remind myself that the test is a national entrance exam so what we don't learn, someone else in another state may be required to.

so if your simon changed to decision made, SHP accepted do you think that means I got in? I am so unsure and wish the letters were coming sooner... gwen jones from essex said she is pretty sure thats what that means but I dont trust it.. any thpoughts?

any recommendations for dosage courses? I noticed they offer it online, has anyone tried that and is it do-able?

LOL Gwen Jones is useless!!! "decision made, SHP accepted" means your in. She is an idiot. :sstrs:

All of our classes including dosage will be available for registration at orientation. The classes that are listed on SIMON are NOT your only choices! You can "register" for the classes now but they are not effective until the SHP signs off on your registration and that won't happen until orientation.

ALL1872 · May 17, 2011

Does anyone happen to know when orientation is? (weeknight? Weekend?)I am trying to make some plans and get my schedule down. I may just have to wait for the letter.

glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. I was completely depressed after seeing her. I thought there was absolutely no chance I would get in. She was not helpful at all ... :cool:

anyone else out there get into catonsville day? I would liked that someone made a facebook page for the essex program, I think that would be awesome for each program... sadly I am one of the few who are still holding out against facebook.. but maybe i would change my mind:-) I am really going to need study groups! --freaking out:-)

Seat Fees are posted! Guess that makes it more official.
