OCCC BADNAP 2013

Sadie23 · Feb 13, 2013

Yes I hear BADNAP is very intense! Is anyone planning on working while in the program (if accepted of course)? I've been told you will eat, sleep and breathe BADNAP! Hopefully we all get accepted, I check my email everday just in case they decide to surprise us with an early update.

I find it funny that on the thread for last year's badnap someone was told 67 applications were turned in. When I went and talked to the guy about my app this year he said that 70 were turned in last year, but only 52 started due to incomplete apps or failed teas. Apparently someone on this thread was told that only 20 apps got turned in last year. Regardless of all that, I don't see why it would take more than a week to rank gpa's then send out less than 100 emails. Especially when the emails are standardized.

I am pretty sure it doesn't... But yeah, who is to say what is going on in that department. lol

I hate to bother the admissions advisor about the number of applications he received, but if I see him around (which I do quite a bit) I will ask him. I turned in my application 2 days before the deadline. I'm still working prereqs, and he told me that based on what he had seen up until that point, he felt my chances were good. If 91 is correct, I am guessing the higher number is due to a lot of people (like me) with bachelor's degrees that heard about the possible openings, and went ahead and applied while they are finishing prereqs. I think that all of you who are done with prereqs should be safe. If I don't get in I won't be too sad, because my original plan was to enter the traditional fall program. I know several people who should be accepted, and I'd love to enter the nursing program with my study group already established. I just couldn't pass up this opportunity to start and finish a lot earlier. Good luck to everyone!

I just ran into the admissions advisor. He told me 90 people applied.

Jsamps · Feb 14, 2013

I think the bigger question is how many applications were complete: passing teas, all prereqs, etc

Sadie23 · Feb 14, 2013

Hey everyone! I just spoke to (you all know who) in admissions and he said we will most likely get emails before the 1st. He said the nursing director will be out of the office all next week and will return on Mon 2-25. He has to wait for her to return so that he can submit everything to her and we will most likely receive our emails that day or the next. Good luck everyone!

Well I hope to find out soon. Lol. I am still in the middle of debating on going to take graduate level courses, or finish this first and then go back.. I mean, if and when I get that email, I will print it out, put it on the wall, and throw darts at it until I can figure out what to do. I talked to the admissions guy today and he confirmed 90 applications as well. So that is the number. Cross your fingers everyone! I hope everyone that REALLY wants it, geta their chance. :)

Wow, the 25th is soon. I can't believe how fast this month has gone by. The waiting hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be!

lordizzy626 · Feb 18, 2013

Yeah I know! I am excited to know if I will have this program as an option... So they are sending emails and official letters?

okstategirl · Feb 18, 2013

They only do emails now, no letters!

lordizzy626 · Feb 18, 2013

Ah I see. lol. Well that is a little more efficient I guess. Plus, there is relatively no delivery time in comparison to standard physical mail. lol. I guess I'll be checking my inbox instead of my mailbox.. Hopefully we don't have that long to go....
