National University SD Cohort 39

Published

Hello, Im creating a thread for those who are applying to National University SD cohort 39 starting july 2014. I figured we can all post our experience through this process of applying.

Specializes in Telemetry, Med/Surg.

Hi everyone,

I'm also an applicant of Cohort 39. I did the essay and TEAS yesterday in RB. I'm nervous about my essay score. I'm really hoping for at least a 4! I can't wait to hear the results :nailbiting:

Hi Blansh73,

I also know somebody in the program now who is working part-time in a restaurant, so I guess some people do make it work... At the nursing forum they strongly advised against it, though.

I'm hoping for at least a 4 too on the essay! This is definitely a nail biting experience. Good luck to us all!! A little disappointing but I heard you only get to find out your score on the essay if you didn't get in the program. :(

You can find out your essay score regardless of getting in or not. They typically will tell you "only the denied will have access", buy you can either ask your advisor or JJ your score and they'll let you know.

Hi Everyone! Good luck on your applications to Cohort 39!

The waiting game is awful so I have decided to keep taking more courses just in case I need them for Cohort 40. The new curriculum is coming out on the 17th. My counselor has just informed me that NU will be requiring these additional classes before any student can apply to future cohorts: NSG 280, CHEM 100, CHEM 100A, SOC 350, ENG 240, MATH 215, & HTM 310. Keep in mind this is in addition to A&P I + lab, A&P II + lab, Micro + lab, Bio Stats. They must all be completed PRIOR to be able to apply. I have been told that in progress will not suffice. Also, I am not sure if these courses will be used in the GPA calculation so if anyone can add to this it would be good to know. I read above that 140 applied to Cohort 39 and there are only 50 seats, therefore there may be 90 students who would like to re-apply. I have feeling that if people don't scramble to get the newly required classes in time for the next application period, Cohort 40 may have the fewest applicants yet and Cohort 41 may have the most. These are scary thoughts so I am PRAYING LIKE A MADMAN that I am accepted into Cohort 39.

Oops. I forgot COH 317-Public Health Nutrition.

Also, I just looked up these courses. NSG 280 is a brand new course so who knows what it will cover or if it has pre-reqs? ENG 240 has two pre-reqs---ENG 101& 102. Math 215 (Alg/Trig) you need Algebra I&II. Plus, Cohort 40 only has a two month window- not three and some of these courses I can't find available until after Cohort 40 closes in mid April.

I heard the curriculum change was put on hold? That is what they said when I called the RB location.

That's ridiculous. How will anyone be able to do all of those classes in time for the next application period? Well... I guess I need to sell my soul to the devil to make sure I get in this time around, because there's no way I'm spending more time and money on pre-reqs.

I know, that is what I am hoping for!!! I am not going to take 10 more classes and spend $15,000 only to be denied the 3rd time. This is my last chance, fingers crossed! I am hoping second times a charm :up:
