National University BSN Program

[Ms.Kitty]

the anticipation is killing me!! after working hard for 2 years i finally completed my application to national university for their Accelerated BSN program. i took the teas 5 just over a week ago and am expecting my acceptance/rejection letter during the first week of june. even though it is just 3 weeks away, it seems like a lifetime! if i am accepted i will be joining the october 2011 cohort. anyone else going to nu during this time?

Bioman, I just got back from the meeting at NU in Rancho Bernardo. I spoke to an admissions advisor, nursing advisor and even the head of the nursing department. No one knows anything yet. They all tell me that ------is the one who handles these issues and that we need to contact her. However, she is out of the office until Wednesday. I left work and drove an hour and a half for nothing. My only hope is to meet with ------ on Wednesday.

If I was denied for academic reasons, that's one thing. However the head of nursing told me that the pre-nursing forum is only valid for one year. I attended the forum one year and 6 days before applying. Forget frustrated, now i'm pi**ed.

Yeah they said the same thing to me when I went after work. I already contacted "------" to avoid actual names via email and she replied saying she would contact me wednesday. They said that if there was a mistake in our grading then we can be accepted in even though originally denied. I'm hoping I didn't get some ticked off faculty member who just wanted to give me a low score because I came across as cocky or they felt I didn't follow the essay prompt. I felt I did. I doubt that happened, but it is seeming the only option.

Did you get the automated reply when you e-mailed her? If not how did you get her to email you personally? I emailed her directly but all I received was the automated response email...

[SDbioMan]

I think it was Zeto who gave me her email. It was her and not automated. You can ask him b/c i just copy and pasted and cant private message I think.

[cali_luv]

Hmm zeto gave me her address as well, maybe I'll try again...

Never mind, forgot who all I sent it too.

[zeto]

This may be a really stupid question, but if there were mistakes made with grades, lets say someone really screwed up and calculated things wrong, can they take away someones acceptance? I know that NU isnt exactly the most organized institution and the thought of this is making me really nervous.

what do you guys think?

[SDbioMan]

I did ask them Zeto. They did say the could retroactively accept someone if they were in the top 50 but were missed originally. They did not say if they would take someone off who was accepted

SO..... I am trying hard to be patient, but I havent heard anything from national all week. I keep expecting an email or letter and so far nothing. I also sent a few emails to the nursing department and to Ms. M with no response, not even an automated "we will get to you when we can" response like in the past. I know they must be crazy busy between the people from this cohort 28 and the people applying to the next cohort, but the wait is killing me. Has anyone had better luck then me?
