hi guys,

this is my first time posting a thread to this website although it is not my first reading some of the various posts on this website. i love the topics of discussion and i think that it's time i start a discussion.I am a pre-nursing student and i am almost through with most of my pre-reqs for the Adn program at two schools. I applied to two programs for Fall '06 and i just found out that at one of them i didn't get in. I am still waiting to hear from the other one. At the one that i was rejected, they accepted all of the flex applicants regardless of their rank. BTW-the flex program is a program where people who work fulltime can do there nursing lectures online and can do there clinicals on the weekend or in the evening. Anyway--the program ranks you on your HESI scores, GPA, # of pre-reqs. Well even though I got a higher ranking than somebody else, if they applied for the flex program, they got in no questions asked. In the beginning of the application process they did not say that this was going to happen. I don't think that it was fair to the rest of the students including me, who worked hard and got high scores and had to be put on the waiting list. They should have told us right up front that this may happen. Don't get me wrong-- I'm not upset about not getting in b/c i had it already resolved it in my mind that if i didn't get into that school that i'm still waiting to hear from the other one, and if i still don't get into to that one, I'll just take classes towards my bsn and reapply for the spring. It just irks me that they accepted people whose rank was way lower than mine as well as other students. Am i wrong for feeling this way or should i just suck it up and move on. I want your honest opinions and similar stories about what happened to you when you applied to nursing school. thanks in advance for your posts!!
