Anyone applying for the Fall 2014 and/or Spring 2015 PLU BSN program? I'm putting my finishing touches on my application this week, and I'm very nervous. Love to exchange advice, encouragement, anxiety, and profiles with other applicants. :)
I will be completing my DTA in Spring at Tacoma Community College and currently have a 3.9 cumulative GPA and 4.0 in prereqs. Unfortunately, I do have a messy past from my first time attending a different college that is definitely coming back to haunt me at this point. Sigh. A family friend tried to ease my concerns by saying that PLU takes a holistic approach in considering applicants and they are most interested in the student you are now. *fingerscrossed* *deepbreaths*
AHHH!!!!! The wait is killing me!!! My coworker who also applied said she didn't get in. I haven't recieved any mail yet, I'm hoping I'll find out soon because the wait is KILLING me!!!!
All I know is, if I don't get in I'll be devastated for sure =/. I'm just trying to stay busy and just hope for the best but it's so hard!!!!

Do you know what kind of grades/healthcare related experience your coworker had? Might give us a better idea as to what our own chances are!

Uhm I don't know what kind of grades she had, all I remember was that she was taking Chem 131 and she had a D and hoped that she could get at least a 2.0, I don't know what that means for her other grades. But she works as a CNA at St Joes, like I do, and that's where they do a lot of their clinicals. I've heard that if they asked for your Winter quarter grades, they're interested and you have a pretty good chance at getting in.

Oh, this makes me nervous! I'm taking O.Chem right now, and I don't find it necessarily challenging, but the teacher is the pickiest grader I've ever had, which is making me concerned. Going to have to study twice as hard!
I hope you're right about the winter grades. I imagine people who will be completing their DT later than earlier are more likely to be getting in the Spring cohort. At an info session, the Dean of Nursing said that they typically have a ratio of 2/3 PLU and 1/3 Transfer in the Fall cohort and the reverse in the Spring. He also said that almost 80% of the acceptance letters they send out our contingent on 3.0 passing grades on remaining classes. I want that letter! :)
So I spoke to my coworker, apparently she wasn't asked for Winter quarter grades, so I'm thinking that if they aren't interested, they won't ask for Winter grades, but if they are, then they will. So this is good news!!! Anyone else asked for updated grades?
I got an email asking for my winter quarter grades. It seemed like it was a mass email to a group of applicants. Except on here I haven't heard anymore news of acceptances or rejections. Anyone else?
