I'm curious as to whether any other prospective July 2015 DSN students have heard back from admissions yet...
I'm still waiting on them to cash my check, but I was in touch with a counselor about polishing up my package recently, so I know at least some progress is being.
At any rate, I'm interested in DSN b/c Nursing school is too damn expensive in California, even w/ the GI Bill >.
edit: And I'd also like to live in a place like Denver for college. Best part is if I like it I can stay in Colorado and not have to wait 6 months (which is the minimum wait in Cali for new licenses apparently!) for the state to issue me a license after my NCLEX.
Thanks for all of the information! And yes that statistic is encouraging! I really hope I'm a part of that 90%! I too got the same information from Jeff, hoping we hear back before May :)
They seem to really be rushing people accepted for an interview to commit to an interview date... I think they're trying to weed out the applicants not likely to attend ASAP. Hopefully you guys hear soon!
Does anyone know how many people are accepted initially to the interview? I talked to Rachael with DSN and she said a majority of the alternates get accepted to the rest of the application process. I was wondering if anyone knew when the alternates start to hear if they are accepted or not. I have a micro test today and studying has been hard to say the least after I heard I was an alternate.
Stay positive :) I am sure you guys will get in eventually! An alternate spot is not a rejection at all. My grades were alright. I have taken some high level sciences (most were 400-600 level) so I think that while I don't have a 4.0, that was considered. I think my volunteer experience was a big help for me. I have a lot of it involving direct patient care. I don't have my CNA, but I know they like to see patient care in some aspect. So CNA people, that is great you have it! I've seen a lot of people wait and get accepted as alternates, so be positive, and maybe ask Jeff Johnson what you can do to better your applications. Good luck to all! :)
@KJAMontana I also got put on the alternate list, my email stated I would hear back no later then May 29th and be considered for October start date. It was definitely sad news yesterday, so I hope the ones on alternate list get considered next round. (Congrats to those who got the interview )
My gpa is 3.6, I have a previous bachelor's degree and my CNA license but I just got the license so no work experience yet. Also 2 courses in progress if thats relevant. Sad panda =[
She told me to work on volunteer experience or a job in health care and apply for october but I have to renew my lease for a year in June so I can't move in October. Can't pay two leases at once.
Like many of you I also got put on the alternate list. Very disappointing but it's good to hear that there's still a chance this time. Congrats to everyone who got in and good luck on your interviews!
Thank you Cms2015. I spoke with Mr Johnson on monday and he told me if I would like to retake algebra I told him I took pre. cal. So they accepted it and he sent me a mail saying that they admission dep. have accepted my pre calculus and I should not worry about retaking algebra And I should wait for this week to hear back from them but nothing and I'm freaking out. My heart rate is almost close to 99lol.
laumh
