I don't know if this info helps or not, but I was told by a nursing chair at Indy that you don't HAVE to have your credits officially transferred before applying/in order to apply. The way she explained it to me was that there might be people who are applying to more than one nursing school, and they don't know which one(s) they will end up being accepted to, so they don't submit official transcripts to Ivy Tech for transfer credit until AFTER they are accepted to Ivy Tech nursing and they KNOW they are going to be attending/graduating from Ivy Tech. So that is why, if you have classes from other colleges that you want to include for application points, you submit official transcripts from the other colleges showing those classes.
AnneMarie--It was only listed on my IU transcripts, I think. I didn't even fathom that it could be a problem...it never was in the past! Let me know if you get a similar letter (although I hope for your sake that you don't)
I'm totally freaking now about the IU classes transferring!! Eeek! I don't know why you'd have to formally transfer them onto your Ivy Tech transcript if the application states that you must include transcripts from other colleges....what would even be the point? And one of the info sheets even says to include an official transcript if you have not yet submitted one to the registrar....It just doesn't make sense. What else would you have to do? If I have all of my classes from legit universities and the classes coincide with one another, what else would you need? Sunny, I'll be so anxious to hear what you find out tomorrow, and I'll be sure to let you know if I get the same thing. I'm applying to Indy (I think you saIid your letter was from Evansville) but I'd imagine that policies are universal. I'll say some prayers for you!!
If anyone else gets letters/news like this, please post!
I know that this may sound like a dumb question, but for those of you who have received letters of acceptance, what do they look like? Are they large envelopes? are they thick? Give me some info please so when my letters comes sometime next week, I can get a feel for what i'm about to read and prepare myself either way. The wait is really starting to drive me crazy!!
Mine was a regular sized letter envelope. I opened it--it had the acceptance letter, a form to mail back if I accept or reject, and an envelope to mail it back in. It may have made it slightly thicker, but I wasn't sure til I opened it.
The rejection letters (that I got last time because I decided to apply without all my classes in. lol) Are just one letter, I think.
I've also gotten a lot of random mail from Ivy lately. UGH.
Ivy Tech Indianapolis is sending out letters today, so they should get to people early next week. I was in the office trying to straighten out this whole mess today, so that's how I know...in case anyone was wondering
Wow! They're sending them out today---that's great! I wish we could just pick them up-- lol! I live 5 minutes away but the mail always takes forever! Sunny, how did your meeting go this morning? I really hope you were able to get everything figured out. Did they give you any further indication as to why you received that letter? I don't even know if I want to get the mail anymore---I'm terrified that I'll get a "thanks but no thanks" letter and I'll cry for days!
