So, is anyone else in this awful waiting period hoping to hear about acceptance from OU? I applied to the Tulsa campus, but I know admission decisions for the Tulsa and OKC campus were made at the same time, so I figured between the ~400 of us maybe some others read this board.
We all got the e-mail saying acceptance decision letters would be starting to arrive Feb. 14th...of course, that was before the snow those first two weeks of Feb. Has anyone heard how long they might be delayed now? I sent an e-mail to the ABSN Student Program Coordinator on Monday (the 14th) asking that question, but did not receive a response. I don't want to call and be a bother, but I'm so anxious (you'd think I would have been able to relax by now since I put my application in in frickin' September, but these few days have been killing me)! Maybe someone else has asked this question or called and gotten a response?
If nothing else, I would love to meet some other applicants (especially to the Tulsa campus) that read AllNurses! If anyone else is out there...what's your previous degree in? Why nursing now? Any health care experience? Did you apply anywhere else? Let's be friends and try to find ways to make time go by faster! :)
I got my acceptance letter today to OU-Tulsa - my first choice! Looks like we're going to be classmates :)
terac, I second juliaann - my college GPA was only 3.83 and science GPA 4.0, and I also took all my science classes at TCC, so if we got letters I'm sure yours is in the mailbox or on its way!
I've been reading this forum, in hopes of getting an idea regarding letters. I was a little worried, as I had to make decisions soon regarding moving, employment, etc. Finally had time to activate my account today.
Just wanted to say that my letter came today, and I am super-excited. Congratulations to everyone, and I look forward to seeing you all in class!
I got into Tulsa! Yay! That's 4 of us, nearly big enough to make a Facebook group page now...because we'll have time for that when it all starts. :) Looking forward to meeting you guys/girls.
Congrats Terac!!!! I'm all for a facebook group...maybe even meeting up before orientation for drinks/get-to-know-each other some evening if y'all are interested!
Sounds brilliant to me! One of the things I hope to get out of Nursing school is a couple of good friends. I guess I'll just have to get over this personal information thing. I'm Rachel Elizabeth Reynolds on FB.
I'm at work, and while Allnurses isn't blocked on my work computer, Facebook is. I'll add you when I get home tonight - my name is Julia Harrington so if you get a request from that name, it's me! Anyone else reading this can add me too, and we can make a group!
I always come to this site but this is my first time posting. I found out yesterday that I was also accepted to OU's ABSN program. I have also applied to Langston and TCC, but OU is definitely my first choice. Whoop Whoop!!!
I'm not sure if I am going to go though. I just started working as a CNA at St. Johns and it's a really good floor. I am a little afraid that I wont be able to work while doing the program, so I am thinking about doing the two-year, traditional program instead. It sucks because we have two weeks to respond and I am afraid that I will not get into the traditional program and be left with nothing.
Decision Decisions!!! I guess I have a lot to think about this weekend. I hope more of us post.
