   torasamu replied to mfrancisco's topic in California

   Hello Everyone, I received a message from someone this morning asking if I was still interested in joining the Spring 2010 CNL program (I was also put on the wait list). She did not actually say that I was admitted, but I am guessing that is what sh...

   torasamu replied to wumpus's topic in Government

   I was a Hospital Corpsman in Yokohama, Japan for about 4 years during the late 90's. I worked at a branch clinic that was attached to Naval Hospial Yokosuka. I'm sure the hospital and base have probably changed a lot since then, but I consider it to ...

   Hello everyone, long time no chat! I received the orientation packet too via email. There is so much to do, ahhh! The drug calculation test was a nice little warm up I guess. Those conversion factors from chemistry came in handy. Who would have know...

   Solidus Snake, if taking the other course and getting an A can boost your GPA from a 3.8 to a 3.9, then I would go for it. On a different note, I'm really surprised by all of the requirements that SFSU has (segment 3, JEPET, etc.) I just realized tha...

   Hi xtine009, I don't think being a second bachelors student will hurt your chances. I'm a second bachelors student too, and so is peoplehelper. The only disadvantage is that we are really limited with the types of financial aid that we can receive. ...

   Katwag, did you receive a phone call too, or just the letter? I was totally blown away when I got my letter, because I wasn't even expecting it. I always thought they just call people who are on the wait list. I can't wait to start the program thoug...

    Thank you everyone, for the congratulations. xtine009, my status did not change on the SFSU website. It still says that my application is under review. The letter I received was sent directly from Canada College though, unlike the previous ones that...

    Hi xtine009, good luck with the wait list. There are at least three of us on here who are wait listed and dying to get in. I hope all of us make it. If I'm not accepted into this program, I too will apply to a couple more schools during the next app...

    Hi Katwag, Congratulations on USF! I hear USF is a great school. Expensive, but really good. The wait is killing me too. SFSU/Canada College was the only program that I applied to, so if I don't make it in, I'll have to wait until the next cycle. I...
