@SummerSea sooo much information, I'm going to check that out, thank you! I have wide awkward feet too and I got some wide Reeboks. I use Altra shoes for jogging and they have lots of wide shoes. I'm not sure about scrubs, hopefully we will find out soon. @Gennaveeee1 I think the link got removed ? @JadeNP congratulations! Which track are you doing, generic?

Hi again, everyone! How's it going - has it all sunk in yet? I'm pretty excited!! Looking forward to knocking out all the enrollment steps when they send us our packets next week. My CPR and first aid certifications expired so I'll have to find somewhere in San Antonio to re-do those trainings asap. I am pretty sure my vaccines are all good to go though. How are you all preparing? I bought some shoes for clinicals. I already had this pair of shoes, so I know they can be comfy for lots of hours on my feet... but I just had to get them in all black ?

I got an offer to continue in the admissions process, too! Mari, I hope you get into the other school you applied to, and even if that falls through work on your stats and apply for another cycle. You can do it! I think schools are taking fewer students because of COVID so that makes it tougher right now.

The weekend is about to start, but still no word.... ?

? I keep checking also.... ?

MariN. I hear ya! I really hope I get into SAC, too ?

good point!

LOL, I searched the older posts too but didn't pay attention to the date, nice observation hey, as far as san antonio nursing programs go, here's what I've heard: - avoid Galen (was told this by my pre-req professors) - UIW... super expensive, can get the same credential (RN) for much less - Texas Lutheran... good program but also too expensive - SAC... most affordable and long standing history - BSHP... lots of good reviews of this program, same associates degree as SAC but more expensive, advantage is the hospital affiliation and great clinical rotations -UTHSCSA... lots more pre requisites and application requirements but challenging program My questions are: Is SAC your first choice for nursing school? If yes, why? If not, why not? And where else have you applied? What are your impressions of the other programs?... I am really interested in SAC but don't know any nursing students who go there. Otherwise I'd ask them all about their experiences.

... yep, I'm constantly clicking "refresh" on my inbox, hope we don't have to wait too much longer!

hii Ajem, thanks for telling us more about your experience in the program!!

I'm not aware of a wait list, but they do have an "alternate list." When people do not accept the admissions offer, space opens up and they contact alternates to offer them enrollment instead.

My science pre-req GPA is 3.33 and my TEAS was 90.7%, all sections were over 90% except the science which was 83%. My impression is they rank the applications by the numbers and offer admissions. It's convenient they are so quick with the turnaround. Less than 2 weeks and they get you a decision, so you don't have to wait long!

Thank you!! all the best to you too ?

Hi! I applied for the Spring 2021 daytime program as a back up to SAC. I called BSHP and confirmed they only offer the evening program admission during the fall semester. I applied to BSHP and got in for this fall 2020, but I did not enroll. All of my stats are the same, though, so I assume I will get in for Spring 2021 without issue. Thanks for starting this thread!!

yep! I'm super anxious, too! We should know by the end of October, hopefully sooner.
