How many in your freshman nursing class?

meggers628 · Mar 8, 2007

My program (Rutgers) is 20 people, but that is only the accelerated BSN class. There are more in the two year 2nd degree program, and even more in traditional program.

There will be 50 or 55 accepted this Fall...I'll find out soon if I get a slot.

I start nursing I in September and today I found out there are 16 of us! I can't even get over how small the program is!

Hey there, did you hear back from your first choice, I know you said you heard from 2 schools so far, but you were waiting for your first choice.

I have no idea how many freshmans there will be. Heck I don't even know the amount that applied or the amount of seats. I just know I'm in and thats the most important thing

It couldn't be that much people, its a private institution and only has 3 nursing classrooms and one lab.

Amen to that! I feel the same way, but the busy body in me wants to know everything.:roll

Mystqx, (I always spell your username wrong, sorry....from now on I will call you "M" :rotfl:

I haven't heard back from my first choice yet. I had a meeting at one of schools I was accepted to today and I fell in love with it. I plunked down my $100 tuition deposit and if I do get in by my "first choice", I will have a very hard decision to make. They're both running neck and neck right now.

I'm still stalking my mailman though.....and I still don't like him much.

Lol I love it!!!
I am soo happy for you, thats how i felt about the school i applied too, i went to an open house before i applied (mind you i already had my application filled out and personal statement written ages ago) but i wanted to see the school first, and i totally fell it love with it when i saw it. I never bothered with the other school, which was its sister school in another NY borough
P.S you got the spelling right on my name this time lololol

There will be 60 for the program but I'm still waiting to see if I make the cut.

Does anyone else feel guilty for turning down their spot? I feel a little attached to the first school that took a chance on little ole' me. I haven't heard from the second school yet, but I already dread having to make that call. The only comfort I have is in kowing there is an alternate out there somewhere who will be thrilled to get the call that they are in!!

Gottagetin...I would love to have a small class like that...think of what a bond you will have, and the friendships you will make! Good luck with your decision!

GottaGetIn · Mar 8, 2007

Jilawez, I totally know what you mean about calling the school to cancel. I will feel terrible if I come to that decision. This school has been so amazing to me.

You're right though...there's that alternate out there that is just waiting for that phone call that they are in! I guess we shouldn't worry so much because the school would fill our spot in a nano second.....It's just that bond, kwim? I already feel some kind of allegence to this school!

I am told that the two schools I am applying for get about 800 applications and accept about 80, and I am waiting and waiting and waiting to hear if I get in. I have a long wait ahead because we don't hear until end of May beginning of June. How annoying is that when I had to apply by Nov. 30th?
