Did anyone out there apply to Linfield for the 2009-2010 school year? I applied to the summer start ABSN program and am anxiously awaiting their response that should be sent out next week. I just wanted to start a thread for anyone that applied and is waiting to hear back form the school. Good luck everyone!

LinfieldNursingGuy,

Thanks for the information. I believe you misinterpreted my post, I'm not ungrateful or angry, I am just trying to figure out what happened, that is all. And I am in a hurry to do it because I know when I give up my spot, which I will, it will make someone on the waitlist very happy. And it is hard to be on a waitlist.

I wish you could see it from my perspective too though. I've been waiting and waiting and looking in the mailbox everyday and on thursday I got it! And it was a big packet which is usually a good sign:) And then to open it and discover that I wouldn't graduate until May 2012, when I could be finished in Janurary 2011 with an accelerated program? And I'd be paying tuition all that time? It is disappointing for me and I did not understand how it happened. I can wait and reapply next year and still finish earlier and pay a lot less than if I took the option they gave me this year. And I have some other options to think about as well. It is really not the end of the world, I am only 22, but I would just like to have known more about the process from the webpage. It still seems weird that they would place me into something I didn't apply for.

Swimmer34, I can see where you are coming from and I can understand your concerns. I am currently in the Linfield program and will be graduating in May of 2010. I can certainly understand why you would want to do the accelerated program because it is so much cheaper. I sometimes regret coming here and having to pay so much, but I realize that I am so close to my goal that it does not matter much to me anymore. The school is great despite some fall backs but I am sure every school has positives and negatives! Good luck with whatever you decide!

I've been admitted to the Spring 2010 cohort. Apparently they did not accept my upper division physiology class so I have to retake the lower division one during the summer. I did ask Mindy to place me on the waitlist for Fall 2009 but she said there are about 40-50 students ahead of me. SAD.

Wow! the waitlist is 40-50 students deep?? I've lost all hope :cry:

Congrats! I'm going to call them tomorrow to see where I am on the waitlist for Fall. I really hope to start earlier than Spring 2010.

Don't give up! A friend of mine encouraged me to call and I'm so glad I did. She said that one of her friends got in 2 days before the program's start. Evidently, some people don't get all their immunization and other paperwork in on time. Good luck!!!

I called them today and found out I'll be starting Fall 2009! Apparently there was someone who wanted to start in Spring so Mindy made the switched for us. YAY! :yeah: I wanted to start in June too but they didn't except my 1st term upper division anatomy class so I'm taking the lower division one over the summer.

I'm so excited to start! :D
