   Congratulations! May I ask if you got the official email with the directions to accept the offer and make a payment? I know I got off the waitlist, but I’m still not sure how to accept the offer :(.

   If it is really challenging, then yes! For example, they would give you the formula if they wanted you to find the volume of a cylinder or something. The math section was the easiest in my opinion because I still recall these types of problems from h...

   I don't necessarily think you need a lot of life experiences or hardships. Personally, I am only 20 years old and I barely experienced life yet! It's cliche, but I think it's super important to dig deep and show them why you are unique and stand...

   I took the TEAS and they allow a blank piece of scratch paper! I don't think you are allowed to use your own calculator, but they provide an online calculator throughout the entire test. You are supposed to rip up the paper in front of your proctor a...

    I did it electronically. A friend of mine actually sent her transcript almost a month ago, but nothing has changed on NursingCAS.

    I haven't yet, but I think I will soon. I'm a bit hesitant because I know that this is more of a NursingCAS issue and I wasn't sure if SMU could do anything about it. But you're right! It's better that we bring attention to the situation so they are ...

    I had the same issue as well. I sent in my new transcript and my community college said that it was already "received", but on NursingCAS, it still says that it hasn't been received yet. I emailed NursingCAS, but I still haven't gotten a response eit...
