Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone out there is going to be applying to Concordia Irvine's fall program for 2017?
Unfortunately I missed the application deadline for the summer program but plan to apply in May for the fall start date. I'm pretty upset with myself for missing the last deadline but trying to focus on moving forward instead of ruminating on my failure.
I have all prerequisites completed for CUI's program save chemistry due to their 5-year statute of limitations. I am taking chemistry for nursing majors this semester, despite having two full years of chemistry (general and organic) from my BS with A's.
I was a little frustrated that I had to re-take the class because I completed all other science prerequisites in 2016 with a 4.0, but you have to do what you have to do right! Ultimately I understand why they have the requirement though. And I like chemistry anyway, it's just hard because it takes so much time away from being able to work and save money for next year where I will hopefully be in a program somewhere.
For those of you who might already be in a CUI ABSN program or have completed the ABSN program at CUI, I'd also like to hear from you about your experiences. I am not Lutheran but I did go to a Lutheran high school and actually know a number of people who went to college at CUI for other majors. Thanks!
The interview questions were tricky! The essay topic was a piece of cake. For those who are applying for the second time, did you find the interview/essay easier or more difficult than the first time?
Yeah...i got the question about what person in history would I want to be and why...what the heck lol it was really out of left field. And it sucks because I've been reading a lot of WWII books and watching documentaries lately and all I could think of was Hitler -_- I just kept saying in my head, don't say Hitler don't say Hitler don't say Hitler lol
It's only been a few days since the interviews and I'm already going crazy waiting! Waiting is absolutely the worst part... hopefully it comes before the 7th! Good luck to everyone!
Yeah, I'm hoping (if I get in) that the email comes in on the 2nd or 3rd. I figure it should be quicker to send an email than to mail out the letter/receive it by the 7th.
