Hi everyone! This is my first post after lurking and reading posts for over a year. My reason for posting now is because I haven't seen anything here about the current application cycle for Pacific Lutheran University's BSN program. It's located in Tacoma, WA!
My application was received by PLU on the very last day of 2016, and they sent me an email 5 days later saying they needed one more LOR and formal admission to the university. I checked in with my instructor again, and she sent the LOR very shortly after. I also got a letter from admissions saying I was admitted with a great academic scholarship just a bit smaller than the Provost. Yay!!
As of right now, I have a 3.93 cumulative GPA, 3.96 college level GPA and 3.975 in the pre-reqs. I'm also a CNA with over 3 years of experience in long-term care. I'm almost done with a pre-nursing direct transfer agreement at Green River: currently taking AP 2, Chem& 121 and two humanities/fine arts electives. In a couple weeks, I'll be registering for Microbiology, Chem&131 and two more electives for Spring quarter to finish up the degree. I guess in the meantime, I'll prepare for the long wait and keep up on my grades.
Has anyone here applied for the 2017-2018 cohort? Feel free to reach out! :)
still no news for me.... what were your guys GPA that got in already? and experience? My GPA isn't great at a 3.6 but i do have 6 years experience in dialysis as a tech and volunteered at a skilled nursing facility. fingers crossed its enough to get in. The wait is killing me!
Well I heard back and the Lord shut the PLU door. I am absolutely devastated but also know that it just wasn't where I was meant to be at this time. Good luck to you all.
Aswedberg I was rejected last year so I completely understand how you feel I'm really sorry to hear that but God has a plan for you!! Don't give up and keep applying for schools. I was waitlisted this year but who know maybe I'll have to apply again! Best of luck to you!!
Congratulations on the waitlist Creamie! Ms.LPN2013 seems to have covered the details. Anything can happen!
Aswedberg, I am so sorry to hear this. I think it would be worth trying again next round even if you start an LPN or ADN program. There are a lot of success stories for people who have applied a second or even third time. Best wishes to you!
One never knows what the Good Lord has in store for you. The worst thing is to give up on yourself, so just keep on climbing because life is a journey and it is not easy. I have been where you are and have felt the emotions you are experiencing but do know there is light at the end of the tunnel. I applied to PLU three times, once back in 2015 and I was denied. Denied because I hadn't finished several pre/corequisites and so I was pushed down the list, considered noncompetitive. The second time I applied to PLU in 2016, I completed all pre/corequisites and was waitlisted. I wrote about my experience regarding the waitlist in previous messages above. This time around was my third attempt in 2017 and I was accepted. It has been such a long and emotional journey but you will get there as well, sometimes it is not our time and other times God is opening another door. It is painful and I am sorry but do know it is not over, never give up keep fighting till you make it. I am a testimony to you that I was shaken but never gave up, It just made me more determined to get in this time around. If you don't get in this time around apply again next year, that just may be your year! I know my message will not take away your stress, sadness, hopelessness, fear or the heaviness that you may hold in your heart but do know I have been there and there will be brighter days. God is Good, just keep the faith. Happy 4th to you ALL!!!!
Ms.LPN thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement! I will not give up until I get there! one way or another! I wish you all the best through school and beyond!í ½í¸Š I know I will find my path eventually!:)
Ms.LPN your message just made my day! Thank you for that :) It really is hard but I will not give up and push on. You seem like such a wonderful person and I am so glad that it worked out for you!
Lisbrow we'll just have to wait and see what happens!! :)
