Good luck to you too lsupanda! which program did you apply to? or did you apply to all 3? I picked the tulane program just bc it started earlier, but now I wish I would have put the Baton Rouge one as first choice bc rent in NOLA area is outrageous! (I have a Labrador and require a yard) Does anyone possibly know how many applied/get accepted to each this time? I was told on the phone that "soooo many applied" and I should have asked how many was "sooo many". At first I felt like my application would be very competitive among others, but now I worry and feel the need to come up with a backup plan!

I only applied to the Baton Rouge program because I live here. I have a daughter, so driving too far is out of the question. I think they usually accept 30, at leasts that's what they told me last year. I got on the waiting list at BR General in January, but they didn't get to my number. I am taking one or two classes at OLOL this summer, so I'm hoping that will help me out. I really am not holding my breath about getting in because I have no faith that I will lol. That's why I'm applying to BRCC, which starts in the fall as well. I really hope we hear something before April though!

So there is a chance of a waiting list? When said you are taking classes, are you re-taking classes that was needed or taking the pre-requirements? I'm so nervous, I'm in the process of taking classes but will be done by start date, i hope that won't hurt my chances too much

I don't know if OLOL has a waiting list, but others do so I wouldn't see why they wouldn't. I have to re-take physiology and I have to take Chemistry. Chemistry wasn't required when I applied other places, so now I need to take it. I was supposed to take those classes at LSU this semester, but things got screwed up and they purged my classes. I'm hoping since I need two more classes, that it doesn't ruin my chances.

I'm taking the second part of psych and chemistry, I was reassured that as long as it was completed by the program start I would be ok b/c they look @other stuff also, so fingers are crossed, which campus are you applying to?

lsupanda · Feb 19, 2011

I'm applying to the Baton Rouge campus. I'm hoping that since my classes will be done by the fall, they will look at my other classes before making a decision. Good luck!

Thanks same to you!

I am currently taking nutrition and religion (the only prereqs that did not accompany my previous degree). I was reassured this was not an issue at all and they would instead focus on what had already been completed.

I assume there will be a waiting list... Most threads from recent olol applicants mention a list. I think they are mainly to offset the applicants that realize they cannot afford it or get into other programs they apply to. With the amount of time it takes to hear back, I would guess that some people have much more time to have already heard back from other programs, allowing them to move on with their lives. On the other hand, I will "try" to wait patiently on the only school I applied to.

curiousKayPee · Feb 20, 2011

I will do the same, patiently waiting to hear back

lsupanda · Feb 21, 2011

I keep wanting to call, hoping that by some miracle, they made their decisions early!

Well, I just applied to OLOL for the summer for 2 pre-reqs so hopefully, they'll see I'm taking them there and that will be good in my favor lol.

Anyone else going to the open house this week in BR?
