Mason is ABSN fall only. It is test free like most schools. Nursing pre reqs are defined. I am sorry. I threw my back out. I’m not sure I’ll be a nurse. I can barely walk.

I created the Fb group. Please join up if you will be in our cohort. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1215093159026807/?ref=share_group_link

I had cardiac manifestation of sarc at 26. Well, lungs, lymph nodes, ocular, cerebral, gave me unresolved Bell’s palsy (I’m 45). It took a neurologist to tell me to get a chest X-ray to start to figure it all out. The cardiac involvement wasn’t too bad - I was a competitive swimmer - but the palsy still bothers me. But it’s an experience I have had and will apply it to being a nurse moving forward. Oh and the kidney stones - 127 and counting. I miss coffee and sunlight. Oh, and I am a white male, no history of any pathologies - happened when I moved to nyc.

I wonder what the cohort size is.

JUST GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER!

I got this email and almost had a heart attack. then I remembered - it’s for the normal mason admissions.

Oh and I almost forgot. The gw ABSN cohort doubled as well. That made registration a nightmare. Hopkins MSN entry increased their size too. Long story short - hopkins waitlisted me until the day before thanksgiving and no extension on compliance. people want to be nurses - they just don’t have enough capacity in schools.

Isn’t their Spring break next week? I’m on mine now - still doing homework. LOL!

I’m at nova now.

I wonder if they are increasing their cohort size. NOVA nearly doubled theirs. I assume the evaluation of our applications is done and they are ranking us accordingly. Just for comparison’s sake - there were over 600 well qualified applicants and the cohort was 120 - it’s now down in the 90s I think. any day now…

I applied too - according to Mason we should only be able to transfer in 90 credits as a transfer student. They just ignored all of my upper level language courses and Sociology courses from American. Strangely - they also left out Pharmacology which I just took at NOVA. Cool thing is - it's maxed at 90 - so we won't run into the 150% rule for financial aid. It was an uphill battle to get them everything for a transfer student - it made me giggle. Good luck everyone! *checks GWU website again, just in case*

I got in as well. Do you know if there is a FB group for our cohort? -Sean
