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! :)
I got back from vacation yesterday and just got caught up on all of this stuff. Better yet, I see some great news-- Ms.LPN2013, CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you! And congrats to S14alex!!!
Guess what? I was moved to Fall semester! My Spring spot opened up for someone else too! This means a handful of us will be in the same cohort, including one of my pre-req classmates.
So yeah, two months until the academic year starts. My registration appointment is in a week, so I'll be getting all of my ducks in a row soon. Woohoo!
LUTE2021: Since I was just moved to fall, I will be registering soon. Before getting this news, the advising office said to look out for an email regarding spring registration in a couple months (either your PLU email or personal, whichever one they have on file). They have you go in and talk to an advisor, so they can help you plan things out. I believe there are morning and evening schedules, but you'd have to check with them about availability. :)
Hi Dawn! I'll see if I can DM you as well (not sure if I have enough posts yet) but I'm really excited to meet you too! I think it's great that you were placed in the fall! We're going to have a great cohort. :)
