   Hi yes I would be interested in rooming after checking prices of places on the Internet. I spoke with the lady at Tulane and she said just tuition will run about $16,000 not counting books, uniforms, etc. I am having serious second doubts now as to...

   Sure thing if I ever hear anything - it does not bode well that it is taking them this long to decide since we turned in our applications over 2 months ago. But I am still hoping I made it and can pull this off.

   I spoke with OLOL today and they said the applications have been forwarded to Tulane but no decisions on applicants has been made so far - they could not give me any idea of when we might hear. Makes it hard to make plans to move to N.O. and get rea...

   Saw where you were in the OLOL program at Tulane. I have applied for Spring 2011 and wanted to get some insight from someone who is finishing the program. Also how long did it take to hear from them after application deadline?

   Got lucky and found a correspondence course from LSU that OLOL will accept in place of the religion class they offer. I have finished my app but I still need Micro which I am taking this fall - they said that is fine but I wonder how many actually g...

    Wow this was a great blog for me to find. I am 57 and just applied to nursing school so its nice to hear that some older people do make it in and succeed in finishing and getting jobs. I have had so many people be negative about me doing this that ...

    Bundi356 can you tell me me what online class you are taking for the Religion 101 requirement? Thanks for the replies and I am looking locally but so far no luck - the only class I found is during the day and I work fulltime so can only do online or...

    Thanks I will look into those. I tried talking to the admissions office about this and where I could take a course and they were not real helpful so I appreciate the responses.

    I just finished sending in my application for the Jan 2011 accelerated program and am not feeling great after reading all the posts. I still need that Religion 101 class and I don't live in Baton Rouge and cannot find one on line to take. Any sugg...
