I recently applied to Clarkson College, MSN Nurse Education program. The deadline is April 1st for summer start. Has anyone applied to Clarkson and how long after the deadline did you wait to hear if you were accepted or not. In addition, how is their online program? I have never done online education and I am nervous...especially taking Applied Statistics...
It sounds like the information packet that was sent was the same thing I received. Folder with info about all the MSN programs. Not acceptance letters.
If I don't get accepted to Clarkson then I'm going to apply to Indiana State University. I've heard good things about their program. South University is completely online too. I like that with South you only take 1 class at a time and as soon as you complete a class, the next one begins. Total length of their program is 22 months. These are my back up plans. I had applied to Kaplan University and was actually accepted, but their program is so new that I was hesitant to be a guinea pig and they are expensive. Indiana State told me $30,000 tops, South said their program is 27,000 and Kaplan is 34,500 with a good GPA. 38,500 without and I don't remember what the GPA had to be. Anyway, Good luck & thanks for keeping your fingers crossed for me. Just FYI, I also applied to my home state's program at University of Oklahoma and even had an interview, but it was the worst interview I've ever had. I haven't heard back from them, but I don't plan on even getting a rejection letter. So, I just have to believe that didn't happen for me because it wasn't meant to be and there is something even better "around the corner". I wish you the best. Let me know where you decide to go. Who knows, maybe we'll end up in the same FNP program.
I am so sorry Clarkson denied you. That sucks. Have you looked at Creighton University? They are a little bit more expensive, but you have time to apply...(June 15th deadline). If you get accepted....you could always just take a few of the classes, and keep applying and transfer Creightons' classes into another program if you find it too costly to complete the degree there. I think the tuition is $780/credit.
Good luck and keep us posted.

I'll let you know if I get accepted or not. I should know something by next Tuesday. I'll keep fingers crossed for you.
