   Hi Tenfour, I would suggest you speak with an admissions counselor in the fall they will give you hints - their email is in your rejection letter. There are lots of ways you can improve your...

   Meowth, the admissions adviser can answer that type of question for you, so make sure you get in touch with them sometime in the summer. IIRC I think I was told I'd have to take at least 5 classes and...

   I don't know how good or terrible an idea this is; but would anyone who didn't get accepted like to keep in touch? Maybe we could give each other ideas how to improve our chances, share info and just...

    I agree with to-be-nurse; you're going to be spending a ton of money on education in the next few years, the deposit to extend your decision time would be worth it. Also, you have TWO other...
