ou and sharp second bachelors

they start 3 times a year 72 students each time. the due date of application is due about 2m before the start date and they inform you 1m before start date. they start in jan/jun/aug this year at least!

they do not have waiting lists. Your chances of getting in are pretty good as long as u have all your prereqs completed and have your bachelors. www.ounursing.com for more info.

Have you already applied to their program? I applied for June. I'm getting a little nervous! My GPA is above about a 3.3 and I graduated with a degree in Health Sciences at SDSU.... Do you know when we should hear from them? Do you know how competitive it is? Do you know how many applications they received for the summer?

Sorry for the gazillion questions!!!!

I'm planning on applying to this school as well, its my first choice! My boyfriend and I want to end up in San Diego (we're in nor cal now) and this seems like the only school where I could start asap and finish the soonest. I tried to ask about my chances of getting in and they told me since the program was so new it just depended on who else applied and on my GPA and if I was done with the prereqs. They set up a phone appointment for me next week to look over my transcripts and will give me a better idea of my chances of getting in. I can't wait to talk to them, I have tons of questions. I really want to do this program! I feel like since I've done all the prerequisites and have a good GPA I have a really good chance of getting in (I'm applying for Jan 09)

I am going to apply to this program too and if you call them they are very easy to get ahold of and will gladly answer all your questions! I got an appointment to talk to a counselor over the phone next week and they're going to look over my transcripts and let me know my chances of getting in, etc! Just call the number on their website

if you applied for summer admission, they told me they will be sending out admission letters 1st week of april. check your email and mailbox.

I also applied for June. The admissions office told me today that they will send an email, followed by an official letter, by the end of next week. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding student loans and/or scholarships? I have no idea how I am going to pay for this if I get in!! Thanks!

you can do the fafsa and apply online. www.fafsa.ed.gov

because this is a 2nd bachelors, we are not eligible for grants. we can only get loans. :uhoh21:

i hope we all get in.

Thanks for your quick reply! I did apply for fasfa, but have not heard back yet. I am just nervous that what they offer will not be sufficient to cover the costs....

How much does the program cost?

How much does the program cost?

For tutition and fees, the cost is about $32K for the 14 month program, not including books and other expenses, which they estimate at another ~$4K.

So.. I had my phone appointment with OU yesterday and got some good news and some bad news. Good news first.. you can have prereq's in progress when you apply so I can apply now for Fall Entry! Bad news though.. my Chem Class (Chem for the Allied Health Sciences) doesnt count for their Chem prereq since my class was part general/bio/organic chem and they said they want an all General Chem class. So I have to take a general chem course this summer (which SUCKS) but I can still apply for fall term and may be able to start nursing school this august!! All other schools I have been looking at would make we wait until at least August 2009 to begin, and if I get into the Fall 2008 program and OU I will graduate with a BSN in Fall 2009, how awesome is that?? I'm excited about this program and am very hopeful about getting in, but bummed about having to retake chem! BTW, the counselors are very helpful and easy to talk to, definitely give them a call if you are interested
