I replied to you on the other board. What is your GPA? What did you make on TEAS? What did you make in your pre-reqs? Is this your first time applying?

Hi. I had Originally applied last year but was put on hold b/c the class filled up so fast. But thankfully I just got accepted for Aug 2011!!

@ Poppy79 How do you already know for August acceptance to MSON? They haven't sent any letters out yet have they?

Poppy79,

Are you in NC or PA? After reading another post of yours, I'm thinking we are talking about two different schools. There is a Mercy School of Nursing in both states, and Techr2nurse and I are in NC. Just want to clarify....thanks!

poppy79, i applied to the pa upmc mercy school of nursing in december for the august 2011 start.. and i was put on the waitlist. i called and they told me there are only 3 ppl on the waitlist soo if 3 ppl decided not to accept their acceptance into the school.. i'd have a seat. she also told me that they got all of their "waitlisters" from last yr in so theres a good chance. were u put on the waitlist last year and did not get in??

JenMo131......I was told by Mercy son that they were reviewing apps on March 4th and I should hear something this week.All of the seats are NOT filled yet.I have faith that God would NOT have brought me through this entire last yrs journey only to have the door shut in my face so to speak. I am 42 yrs old and know that if I dont make it to one of the 2 schools for this summer admission than that's it for me because I do NOT have another year to wait to start.I have NO classes left to take at CCAC and it would just be to difficult to go back to work then quit to start school next year.So I will try to hold on to my faith and not be a nervous wreck though I have to admit I am finding myself a little more nervous as the days go by... Praying I get a chance to fulfill my dream.

Who did you speak with at Mercy? **** I wasnt told the same you were.I was told that deadlines for apps to be submitted was Feb 28th for the class begining August 2011 and I had sent my app into them Feb 5th so I am patiently waiting.I was told there were seats still open and that they meet once a month to go over apps and that I would be notified this week March 7th.Good luck to you and hopefully we hear good news soon...

I was initially told that they accept applications 2 times.. once in december and another time in march (or somewhere around there) My application deadline was in december. Soon after that I receivd a letter in the mail saying I was put on the waitlist. My friend also received the same letter. So I called to find out exactly what this meant for me.. I first talked to **** who then transferred me to ****** the head of admissions or something along those lines. I was told "the waitlist means you are accepted pending a seat in the program, right now all of the seats are filled, so if someone were to not accept their acceptance into the program you would have a seat. There are only about 3 people on the waitlist as of now and we usually get all of our waitlisters in. You will find out in Feb or March." Very odd that out of the whole 3 ppl on the waitlist, 2 of them are me and my friend. Anyways being anxious, my friend and I called mid Feb. to see when we'd find out.. and they said not until end of March beginning of April. After reading your post today, my friend called and they said we'd find out sometime in March.

I don't understand why they would even still accept more applications if the program was filled since my application period? I don't understand how out of so many ppl applying, me and my friend are 2 of the 3 ppl on the waitlist?

I have also called numerous times to ask if they could explain the entire application process to me in detail from applying to being accepted and I have yet to get the same answer twice.

Now I see that you are saying the seats are not filled. This is all sooo frustrating to me!! No one wants to have to wait another year. I know I sure dont :( I also have all my classes done.. all I have left are the actual nursing classes.

I just wish I could get a straight answer so I can figure out my life!! I plan on calling again tomorrow to see what they say this time.

I was told a few months ago that they were still taking apps for fall 2011 and that there WERE seats open??? So now you have me very nervous as well. I also have NOTHING left but to finish up what I am currently taking.I am 42 yrs old and absolutly Do not HAVE ANOTHER YEAR TO WAIT!!!Now after reading your post I am certain I wont be able to sleep tonight.. Sigh :( I will be calling first thing tomorrow to find out exactly whats going on.I aslo applied at another local school.They start both in June AND Feb . So I truly hope Mercy did not do me wrong and take my check and toy with me knowing that they have no seats open.That would just be wrong...
