   reba95 replied to lc3's topic in Colorado

   lc3 - Wasn't the app deadline for CSU-Pueblo in May? And they haven't notified you of whether you are in or not as of late August? I merely ask as I thought the turn-around time was quicker than that (although I don't know from personal experience...

   reba95 replied to reba95's topic in North Carolina

   For posterity, here is the reply I received from a very courteous person in the admissions office at UNC Chapel Hill: "We do not "time-out" courses, meaning, it does not matter how long it has been since you've taken the course, we will still accept ...

   reba95 replied to soccer's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Good luck to you soccer as well! I'm in the same boat, and as far as I can tell, each state and each school is different. What works someplace won't work at another, etc... Looks like you are doing well in your pre-reqs. Keep doing well, and be su...

   Thanks for posting this, I've been meaning to get on the Board's website and see if they had updated data from last year. Looks like the BSN program I'm interested in has a 90+% pass rate, so that is great! I see MSCD has the highest rates for BSN p...

   reba95 replied to MIKelly's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Not cheesy at all. You have to do what you have to do in order to get in or progress. If you are able to put this off, and it will not harm your chances of acceptance, then I would put it off. Particulary if they are lumping both sides into one cl...

    reba95 replied to rbytsdy's topic in General Students

    I am lucking out in that I won't be required to re-take any courses at all. I have a BA in Philosophy so I didn't have the A & P's or Micro which I am taking this year. I am going to re-do Stats this Fall in order to get an A, but that is my ow...

    reba95 replied to Nashima's topic in Colorado

    Hi Nashima, I'm sorry I can't help you with any job information. Although a preference such as the one you describe would surprise me -- I wouldn't let that put you off from applying to the areas you are interested in moving to in Southern CO. Conc...
