NVCC Fall 2013 Hopefuls - The Waiting Game!

U.S.A. Virginia

Published

Anyone else intensely nervous about finding out if you've made it into the program?

I just submitted my application to the Traditional program.

My GPA is 3.33 right now, but will go up at the end of April as I have 2 A's in courses and am confident I'll remain there.

My TEAS scores were 98, 92, 98 (first time)

I'm really worried because I just realized that I didn't send a manilla folder with my name and Student ID on it; I sent an email and will probably call them to ask if I should resubmit my application because I do have plenty of time. I wonder how strict they will be on that.

I applied to the LPN to RN program and the wait is going to kill me :(

Ahhhh I think I have been driving my family, friends, and my boyfriend insane with my obsessiveness over this application!!! Have you started stalking the mail? I have, and every time I feel like my heart will burst out of my chest. How are you guys distracting yourselves?!

My distraction right now is that I will be having my second baby any day now. To be honest, that hasn't kept me from thinking about the program, lol! I am feeling stressed waiting around, but hopefully we hear something in the next week or so. Evidently, they send out email notifications first and then one comes out in the mail.

Hi, everyone! I was looking at the prerequisite science sequence and I wanted to do anatomy/physio 1 and 2 plus microbio... I am currently in anat/physio 1. I was looking at posts from last year saying you need to take chem and maybe bio to take microbio... but when I look at prereqs I just see that I need to take bio 141(anat/phy) as a prereq for micro and I just wanted to confirm that's true... I'll probably call the school soon, since I'm a little confused, maybe they changed it during the past year or I'm just not reading the right info. I also have another question... does NoVa look at just prereq gpa or overall gpa or both?

@Massage2bRN - Hi! I would call the school and maybe talk to the Dean. I was told I had to have Chemistry, so I took it over the Summer and enrolled in Micro in the Fall last year. HOWEVER, I just talked to one of my nursing classmates yesterday who said she was given pre-approval to get in without even taking a Chem course. That would have been nice to know! I was under the impression we needed Chemistry to even get accepted to the program, so I did it anyway. They look at both GPAs from what I understand, but the focus would be on prereqs. Good luck to you!

I am going to have to go in and maybe talk to the dean in person. I emailed her a few days ago and she never replied back... =[
