I tried to pm you but it didn't work so I figured I would post. I ended up being on the waitlist for this year. I was 1 or 2 on the list and didn't make it in this year (so close but so far away). I was in Florida so I was unable to get credits through Maryville since I was not in Missouri. It did hurt my chances, yes. I have a 3.6 with all my prereqs done. The only reason I didn't get in was because of my lack of credits thru Maryville. I am taking a course this year in order to increase my chances for next year. I don't need anymore courses,my prereqs are done, so I am just taking one purely for that reason. Its a little disheartening as I worked really hard and I really want to be a Maryville Nursing student but I am trying to take it in stride. If you are thinking of applying at Maryville I would highly suggest that you take a Fall class. They accept Fall credits before they accept Spring ones (ie:If I have 3 credits in the Fall and SusieQ has 3 credits in the Spring...I am looked at before her). My advisor is great. Just wish the rules had some exception ability. :uhoh21:
ETA: I saw a post that said you are taking a class there. Thats awesome! I am too. Maybe we can go through NS together. I really pray this is THE time. I know being a nurse is what I am supposed to be. I am a mom of three and I only want to do school at night or weekend and I REALLY want my BSN (I already have over 80+ credits for peep's sake. lol).

So sorry you didn't get in this year! That must have been frustrating. Hopefully, we will be in class together next fall! I am taking a nursing elective this semester, just so I can get some credits from Maryville. I really hope I get in. It's the only school I have applied to because it's so family-friendly and career-friendly (if I end up going back to work next year). Does Maryville consider people with MORE credits from Maryville before people with fewer? Anyway, feel free send me a pm.

Thanks so much for your message.

Have you looked into Barnes Jewish College? They now offer a weekend/evening BSN program. I think they offer it every Spring so you may have a good chance to get in Spring 08. They do not require you to have a certain amount of classes taken at their school.
