   CTNursing, I agree, but at the end of the day it's still an accredited program. This won't affect job prospects.

   Maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic but I doubt we'll be hearing back this week. The campus was closed yesterday and on top of that, from previous threads, it seems that they frequently predict dates that they'll be done with things but people would st...

    I called today around 4 and talked to Pam (I think that was her name). Maybe there's just some kind of miscommunication on their end which I understand during this busy time.

    Yes, the link to upload it is under the "documents" tab in the "program materials" section. I couldn't find any guidelines for the personal statement, so I kind of just wrote until I felt it was complete.

    After a very hard period of deliberation, I've decided to decline my spot in favor of a program that wouldn't require me to relocate. Good luck to those on the waitlist and to all attending in August!

    Thanks for the reply, Jen! It's okay, I'm grateful for being accepted somewhere, you can't win all the time! That number is like, woah, hahah. Is that just tuition, or did they factor in transportation, living costs, etc?
