    Loans for living expenses?!

    Amen to that, sister! As long as a student acts responsibly and budgets accordingly to account for necessary expenses only (e.g. not new cars, LV bags and lobster dinners), loans for living expenses...
  2. Traveler, You also were accepted to Columbia for their highly selective anesthesia specialty though, you're not entirely sure you're going to attend? Good luck making your

    Student Loan question

    Your biggest asset is your school's financial aid office/counselors, they will be able to point you in a more specific direction regarding what you may qualify for, I'm sure you aren't the only...

    MECN program in UCLA

    The first MECN cohort began in Fall 2006 and will not graduate until spring quarter 2008 (May 2008), thus there are not yet any graduates of this program officially. There are a few existing threads...
  5. Kens and all, I'm not heading to Yale, but I've been doing some preliminary research into private loans. This site has a pretty comprehensive list of private lenders which can be used...
  6. Speaking as an individual that may or may not take time off between the BSN and MSN portions of the program, I am definitely trying to gain some insight into the working environment at JH Hospital, as...
  7. Kens, So you've definitely decided on Yale, then? If so, congrats, I'm excited for the both of us! Do they have an Accepted Students day or a meet and
  8. In my opinion, I was not entirely dismissing your post, however outlining my point of view of why I disagree...far from kneejerk, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't trying to...
  9. I didn't redo the pre-reqs, only took em' once, but made sure I had everything done upon application time (rather than In Progress) as I thought they would strongly emphasize success in all of the...
  10. Well last time around I had only applied to UCLA so I had to wait for another round of applications and will be attending Johns Hopkins beginning late August. UCLA began the MECN program with their...
  11. I applied for Fall 2007 admission and those who were accepted were notified by email the first week of March. Unfortunately those who were not accepted (myself included), had to wait to receive a...
  12. Unless you live in Southern California, as I do, where 99% of all CCs are lottery-based, Cal State Universities are impacted and some folks wait 2-3 years before a random number generator picks your...

    question about transfer credits

    Again, you may want to research the school's academic policies a bit further, for your own sake (see below). As any other college I've even known, they will indeed want your previous transcripts,...

    question about transfer credits

    The school itself will determine what transfers and what does not by performing course equivalency determinations, the important point being, you must allow them access to all transcripts to determine...

    question about transfer credits

    This is horrible advice. Again, please meet with a counselor for the school you intend to enroll in before you follow the advice above. Every school I've ever applied to has required submission of...

    Paying $40 K for 2 yr program

    Your financial aid office will be the most helpful and relevant resource available to you regarding your question. They should have given you a customized financial aid package if you have submitted...
  17. Winnie, Thanks so much for chiming in with first-hand knowledge! I read on the JHUSON Fin. Aid website that they besides the Merit Scholarship they do offer grants of $1-15K for...
  18. RNP, I don't know all of the details, you may want to check the Columbia ETP posts, but essentially as I understand most of the accepted students are offered a $20,000 scholarship to offset...
  19. Speaking of financing our education, has anyone received financial aid information of any kind from JHU or to those who were accepted awhile ago, have they given you any preliminary information? I...

    age ?

    I'll be 28 when I begin at JHU in Fall 2008, started pre-reqs at 25, previously graduated with a BA Psychology in Spring 2004. I'm resigned to the fact that I'm a perpetual student. My BSN will take...
  21. I only had to participate in one interview in my round of applications (BSN/MSN program where you had to declare your specialty in advance) and for as much as I can recall they included: Describe...

    Part time nursing program in CA?

    I'm not trying to criticize your intent, but unfortunately nursing programs are so competitive that many, if not all of the candidates are not looking for nursing as just something to "pick up", the...
  24. Found it and joined! I was never much of a Facebook user but I hope to be able to meet or talk to as many peers within the cohort as possible. You're so lucky that you don't have to spend energy on...
  25. I was notified today of my acceptance to Johns Hopkins (Traditional BSN/MSN, Acute Care), my first choice and last hope to start this Fall! For all of you who are still waiting on a decision, remain...
