Okay... so I totally hijacked the Spring 09 hopefuls thread. But, it was a good idea.
This thread is for those of us that are aiming to start NS in Fall 09. Hopefully, we can keep this thread alive over the next year through all the craziness of pre-reqs, applying, and preparing for nursing school.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ONLY ONE YEAR AWAY!!!!
Anywho...
Where are you applying?
What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice?
I bought these amazing flashcards from the local Borders. I brought it to class to go over (I always get to class early to avoid parking problems) and no joke, like six people came up to me to ask where I bought them from. I also go over the optional book for the lab portion. Its called the photographic atlas of anatomy and physiology. It's truly amazing. it has all the bone markings as well.
I would love to know how you are studying for the bone lab practical. I really need some help! Would appreciate any advice!!
-so far, GA Highlands College (ASN), Medical College of Georgia (MSN), Drexel University (Accelerated BSN), plus a few more to be named later. I have a BS in another field so it gives me a bit of latitude to pick and choose what I want :)
What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice?
-GPA is around 3.5, though to be honest I've taken so many courses I don't know if that's the exact number. It's pretty close though :wink2:
When is your schools deadline?
-I know Drexel's is Oct. 15, which is reeeeeealy early, but the other schools have it in February.
When does the acceptance letters go out?
-I honestly have no idea *shrugs*
What is your plan A, B, C...?
-Uh, plan B? Keep applying and whore myself out for money until I get in, I suppose! :imbar
-Uh, plan B? Keep applying and whore myself out for money until I get in, I suppose! :imbar
Ahaha! that's my plan B too! This is my first time applying to NS and I really don't feel confident that I'll get in. My GPA is only about 3.3... and I don't have that much experience right now. I also have a BS in another field so I'm applying to the Entry-level MSN programs University of San Francisco, San Francisco State, and Samuel Merritt. Hardly think I'll get into any of them though...so I'll probably end up finding a job that I hate because it's not nursing.
what is your gpa and/or points for your school of choice?
3.0
when is your schools deadline?
have to be on the waitlist, which i will be at the end of this semester(dec.) wait is around 1 year to a year and a half. though students actually wait less then a year.

for fall semester around april through july and winter semester november and december
what is your plan a, b, c...?

Did anybody just recently apply for Fall 09 and is already anxious for the results? I sign online to look at my admission status all the time even though I KNOW they won't admit until Feb at the EARLIEST. I'm just really really anxious and just wondering if I'm alone here....

3.00, 2.8 or 2.5
My current gpa is 3.34 hopefully a 3.5 by the time I graduate next semester with my associates.

I'm applying to a lot of school so some are in jan, feb, and april.

They go out around feb-may
What is your plan A, B, C...?
If I don't get into UMB my first choose I already applied to backup schools Catholic University, Townson University and Howard University and possibly Coppin State University. Hopefully I get in somewhere.
I received regular acceptance into Our Lady of the Lake College in Baton Rouge, LA.
What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice?
I don't have a GPA as I was granted academic renewal which means buh-bye to yucky Vandy GPA. I'll get back to this answer after the Spring semester, but I'm aiming for perfection :bowingpur3.7-4.0....
When is your schools deadline?
March 1st for the fall, but I hear there's a summer program, so this may be for the summer program which in turn means there may be a later date for the fall.
When does the acceptance letters go out?
It varies.
What is your plan A, B, C...?
A. Get done with the pre-reqs during night school, quit my day job focus on school.
B. Having to wait a bit longer to finish my prereqs because of the limited availability of night school courses.
Where are you applying? Clark Community College in Vancouver, WA. And pretty much any other Portland area college.
What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice? 3.7 overall, 3.5 science. 43 points thanks to my CNA, statistically 40 points will get you in.
When is your schools deadline? Was Oct. 1.... the wait is excruciating
When does the acceptance letters go out? no idea
What is your plan A, B, C...? there will be no plan b, nursing school or BUST
I picked up my application on Monday Sept 29th for the Fall 2009 program and mailed it by Oct 2nd! (Keep in mind they aren't even due until Dec 1st).... my school takes FOREVER to notify you if you get in.
Be glad you only wait until Feb... my wait is until late April!!! I'm STILL waiting to hear if I got in for their Spring 09 semester, but I figured I should apply for Fall 09 anyway just in case.
Good luck!!!
ps- I wish my school had an online "status" I could check often.
Where are you applying?] Mt. Saint Mary's College - ADN Generic Option
What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice? ]As of currently I do not have an applicable GPA. I'm starting my pre-reqs to get in during winter quarter. I'm taking a huge risk, but it does not hurt to try.
When is your schools deadline?] March 1
When does the acceptance letters go out? ]Sometime in June.
What is your plan A, B, C...?]A = Get into MSMC.
B = Either finish more Pre-reqs and apply again, or try to get into a local LVN program so I can bridge later on.
C = Just gotta keep trying A and B, every program in CA is impacted so I need to keep trying.
I'm applying to (in preferential order) Seattle U, Gonzaga, PLU & Lindfield.
None of these schools do points for most of them the overall GPA req is 3.0 and major pre-req of 2.5 (of course you have to have higher than that to be accepted)
All the applications are due in Jan-Feb I'm not sure when letters go out.
I only have plan A! It WILL happen!
I can't wait to apply, it feels like it's been forever! Me in 2011 ------>
