wow! i cant beleive i spent almost all day reading most of the messages on here! hahaha alot of info thankx to EVERYONE! i must sound very late... but i just found out about this school a couple days ago and am now trying to find a way to apply and get accepted! im still having trouble with the website i dont see an application form..i emailed "e" but from reading all the posts i dont want to sit around and wait for an email and im pretty discouraged to even call since just reading about how hard you guys tried getting a hold through them thru the phone was stressful. basically i need help i need a step by step instruction if anyone can please send me the application and tell me who to send it to that would be great, i already have my transcript and my ss card ready.

also, if anyone knows if you can begin in nov please let me know so i can start making arrangements i was under the impression that it started once a year and in august....but if november is open i will fly out within the next couple weeks to figure things out.

thank youuuuu:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

Let's see if this works. I just uploaded the application "E" emailed me Feb 2010. I hope this works!

Opps I missed some pages here when I responded to the previous post and I didn't realize Cahoon had responded. You can start in Nov as a non accelerated student but you will not take nursing classes until next August.

Cahoon, student KH that was helping type out the document for all of us in the library yesterday is an accelerated student and started in Nov. He had to take peds in June, and Adult Care in July and that is how he caught up with us. Plus I know two other accelerated students with Bachelors that started in Nov with him. But Abril510 they all have Bachelors.

They don't advertise it for some reason. They should just let people do it and tell people about it. I asked prior to moving here and they said ONLY Aug. But you know how they change or break their own rules.

By the way Abril510 are you from area code 510? There are a ton of us from CA. The SF Bay Area, LA area, and San Diego. I am from 650.

Thanks for your response. So what kind of classes would I be taking? General ed or something like that?

And yes I'm from the Bay Area. That's good to know I'm not the only one!

Yeah general ed. I know a few people that are doing it that way. Do the general ed and then do the accelerated program. It doesn't really matter what order you do all of it in and this way you could finish soon then waiting until next Aug.

Yeah there are a lot of people from CA. That's because the CA schools are not accepting instate students because they can make more money from the out of state. And many state schools exclude us if we already have a Bachelors. And I certainly didn't want to pay 55,000 USD per year at SMU or almost 100,000 for the program at USF. It is A LOT cheaper here. A LOT!

Ok that sounds great thanks for your help. One more question. In how many years do you finish the program if your in the accelerated program?

Wow I didn't know that. I don't live in CA anymore I live in WA now but that is just ridiculuos!

Accelerated Bachelors is just under two years. 22 months

Regular Bachelors is 3 years. 34 months

Accelerated Accociates is 11months

Regular Accociates is 5 trimesters. So start in August and end in Feb about 1.7 years later. It is 19 months.

The Bachelors is only 3 years and you said you almost have an AA so you would need to talk to them but it sounds like you fine spending the next 2 trimesters and summer catching up. But really you need to speak to the school because they are the only ones that can answer these questions.

When I called in to see what documents I needed to transfer all they asked for was my school transcript and a copy of my immunization record. I know the website says you need the deans letter but they never asked me for that so I wouldn't worry so much about it. That's great are you trying to get into the accelerated program or the regular one?

I did it but I don't know if you need it. I contacted the dean of the community college where I was taking my pre-reqs as I had graduated with my BA a decade earlier. It just seemed easier to go to the dean of the community college.

I think I had to have someone translate it for him. It was a pain. He had a Mexican background but knew very little Spanish.

But you probably don't need it.
