2013 NIU nursing students (prospective!)

Published

Hello there! I am a prospective NIU Nursing student! I currently have a 3.9 GPA and I got a 110 on the Accuplacer... I have gotten into all my other schools like AU, Bradley, Western IL, Saint Xavier, but I sit here waiting on NIU! Does anybody know when NIU will contact you if you got in (transfer students)? I am very eager! NIU is my goal school and I got into all my other options, but I WANT NIU THE MOST! The suspense is killing me and anybody with more info I would greatly appreciate it! OR anybody else who is applying to NIU for 2013 join in! I'm curious to see what the prospective students are bringing to the table! Chat with ya later.

I don't have that. I'm so confused.

I did register for Orientation on the 17th, though. Kind of annoyed that I waited so long to register and had to do a Wednesday - I'm going to have to miss my Algebra class.

I built a schedule - looks like I'll be driving in 3 days a week. If I get the classes I want, I'll be on campus Monday noon-7:30pm, Tuesday 8am-4pm, Thursday 8am-11am. I wish I could get that Thursday class on either Monday or Tuesday but it's not offered then.

I only got that list of classes from the information brochure, its on the nursing section of the website where they talk about the program. 3 days a week isn't bad, how far of a drive would you have? I'm going a little crazy, I just want them to send the letter! ;p I have to take nutrition over the summer if I'm in, so I don't want to register for it at waubonsee if I'm not. Then I have a chemistry left too to take next semester, so I'm hoping to get in for Spring, not Fall.

It's about an hour drive, I live in Crystal Lake. The main reason I was hoping to keep it to 2 days is that it would be one less day to have to find childcare! At least Thursday will be a half day instead of a full day, that will help keep costs down. I just want the damn letter too! The waiting is killing me! I'm completely done with pre-reqs after this semester so I'm very much looking forward to having the summer off. :) 5 weeks until graduation!

I know, their childcare is kind of expensive compared to what the community college I last went to charged :( I'm in Sugar Grove, so not too far from me, its about 25 min. Hopefully that letter comes by next week!

Does anybody have any answers?! This wait is driving me crazy, I just want to know! Lol does anybody know students currently in the program, do they like it?! Good luck to everyone applying! :)

I'm going to have to start popping Klonopins if that damn letter doesn't come soon!

Nothing again today :( I did see another post that said last year they received them on April 18th. I don't have the patience to wait another week, lol

I just want to know so I can be excited (if good news) and if bad.. I need to start planning my summer classes for the other schools! The suspense stinks! Atleast April is flying by!

I hope this week is the week! Crossing my fingers! I have orientation on Wednesday, it'd be nice to know before that.
