Hey ayti!
I applied to the Accelerated BSN/MSN also. I am dying to know decisions. Have you applied to any other programs?
Emory is my dream school! I also applied to Virginia Commonwealth, Columbia, and Boston College; however, I really just want to get into nursing so I will pretty much go wherever I get accepted. I am currently I college senior who realized a little too late in the game that I should have gone to a larger school with a nursing program, ohwell...
Wow. It appears you like the top schools! My main issue with top schools is the cost and I don't want to incur too much debt because salary is still same regardless of which nursing school you go to! I thought you have to have a degree to apply to accelerated program at Emory? Are you in atlanta?
Haha, I do gravitate toward highly ranked schools (probably my downfall). I understand the debt issue, but for the most part I feel that it will all be expensive, and an education is usually a good investment. I am in Virginia right now, so I would be new to the area for all of my prospective schools. All of the programs I applied to require a degree to start the program, but not to apply. Since they all start in the summer or fall, I will have graduated and fit the requirements.
Ok got ya. I mean top rank schools are great but for me I have to get a major return in my investment. Unfortunately, in nursing profession, if you go to a top ranked sch or state sch, you get same job and salary. So to me there is no incentive, except I get a generous financial aid, I don't see the benefits. If you talk medical or law school, there is great benefits of going to top schools no doubt. My two cents lol.

Hello,
Did anyone apply for the Accelerated BSN/MSN program at Emory that starts this summer? I think decision will be made in about 2 weeks.
