Denver School of Nursing - October 2015 start date

Published

Hello, I applied for the october start date, 2015, at denver school of nursing. I wanted to start a thread for all the hopeful students for this start date. I thought it would be a good support system and ask questions about the school. A little bit about me, I have been an EMT for the last 3 years and I have volunteered my local fire department. I'm graduating this May with an Associated of Science in Biology, pretty much the requirements for the BSN programs with a GPA of 3.6. I really hope I get in, and good luck everyone.

Hi, I'm also applying for DSN's October start date. I've been working in the mental health field and looking forward to a change of pace. From everything I've heard it looks like we should know if we've been selected for an interview right around May 13th but I feel like time is going to crawl until then! I can't seem to find any info on admissions stats, if anyone knows anything about that I would love to know!

Hello! I feel like time has already been moving slowly towards May 13th, I sent my application in on second day. As far as stats on admission goes, the last data I saw was from 2010 and they accepted 70% of applicants. I also heard that if you are above a 3.0 GPA and have good volunteer experience that it is likely that one will be accepted.

Thanks, that's good to hear, I wonder if it's got more competitive since they recieved their accreditation. I just sent in my packet, I knew if I sent it in early I would go crazy, maybe you will be one of the first people they contact since you sent in your app earlier :) Are you local or will you be moving here for the program?

I'm a local to colorado but I live on the western slopes and am about 4 hours away. That's a long commute! I am going to move there, and looking to Lodo area even through it is expensive. As far as the application goes, I do hope I hear something on the 13th. I didn't want to put if off, and stress about it. It's also the only school I applied too.

I also applied for the October start date. I am currently a student at the University of Arizona and received my CNA licensure. I don't know anyone in Denver so if anyone was potentially looking for a roommate please let me know! Goodluck to everyone!

I also applied the first week of applications :) I live in Boulder and will commute from here if accepted. My prerequisites are A's and a few B's, and I have done some volunteer work with different health organizations but not in a hospital. Good luck to all of you and hopefully see you in school! Does anyone have a plan for student loans?

I have no plans yet for student loans yet, I'm hoping to get an interview first before looking more into them. I have looked through a couple and I know from other people that they are getting a new private lender for schools.

Hey all, I spoke to the financial aid dept and they were able to give me a great breakdown as to what I was eligible for and what I would pay out of pocket. So if you want to get a jump on planning they should be able to help as long as you've filled out your fafsa.

Hey everyone, I got my email today saying that I could move on with the interview process.
