[Mgutierrez]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to start a thread for everyone applying to GWC this month so we can answer each other's questions, share our points, and check status' if we wind up on the alternate list.

Good luck everyone!!

let me know when you guys get your letters! I also applied for fall 16 & haven't received anything yet

[Mgutierrez]

chanelR how many points did you have?

I will let you guys know the second I open my letter! My mail usually comes in the late afternoon though, so I probably wont be the first to know.

My mail also doesn't come until late late afternoon. So I'm looking forward to hearing that others got their letters! Is everyone local? I'm in Mission Viejo.

[athomason]

Is everyone planning to continue with their BSN right after they pass NCLEX?

[IBCLCOC]

No letter for me today

[athomason]

I'm going to get an RN job first then go for my BSN.

Hi, I apply for Fall 2016 Spring 2017 as well. Up until now I'm done with all the prerequisites, which means that if I'm accepted for Spring, there is no mandatory class I can take in Fall. Any suggestion on helpful classes before starting Nursing program?

nmt39 - pharmacology is probably useful if you haven't taken it already. i think it's no longer in the GWc curriculum tho

[nmt39]

It is still in the school's catalog, so I hope it's still available for Fall. I also plan to take ASL, I thought it would be helpful as a nurse.

[msnnine]

nmt39 - ooh i see. someone in the forums from last year said that pharmacology was no longer in the curriculum, but i guess they changed it back then?

[nmt39]

I'm gonna check with my counselor when I know if I have to take any class for Fall. Until that, I'll just keep hoping I'm accepted for Fall.

Has anyone heard back from the school? Someone said the letters arrived on the second Thursday of March, which is tmr for us. I hope it's the same this year. Waiting for one more weekend would kill me, slowly.
