Tough decision. Much as I'd like to advise you, I am sort of biased as I would like that seat at UIC :) One of the reasons that UIC is my first choice is because it is affordable and near my home. My second choice is about $40,000 more expensive and ...

Congratulations!!! You are so lucky. Any chance you still want to go to that accelerated program?? :) make room for more people to come off the waitlist? Just kidding!! Is it so much pricier that the school you were going to go to? I know they have ...

I know I am wondering about the waitlist email, does everyone get put on it? That would really make me feel bad. Also, some of you mentioned that you knew your ranking on the wait list. How did you find that out? I contacted the school and they said ...

It's for the fall. UIC only has one start date and that is in the fall (August)

Thanks for giving me hope. I am looking into other options, but I really hope I can get into UIC. I'd rather know sooner than later, but if I get in at the last minute I will be happy. I saw on another post that they will let me know my ranking on th...

I have a 4.0 science GPA. My cumulative GPA was a bit lower at 3.4 because most of my gen-ed classes were taken over 10 years ago when I was not as serious of a student. I think the main reason I didn't make it in is because I don't have much in the ...

thanks

For those of you in the BSN program at the moment, were any of you waitlisted and then accepted? I just got an email last week letting me know that I am on the waiting list. UIC is my number one choice and I am crushed that I did not get in, but I am...

I was wondering the same thing. I just found out last week that I am on the wait list. It sucks!

Thanks for the support. I hope they will let me know how far down the list I am. No, I applied to the regular BSN program, not the GEP. Does anyone know, once I find out what number I am , do they go straight down the list in order or do they pick an...

I just found out that I am on the waiting list for my school of choice: UIC. Anyone else hear from them? I am devastated. I don't have much faith that I will make it off the waitlist. I only have one other school that I have hope of going to and it i...

I need some advice. For one of the schools I am applying to I need 2 letters of recommendation. I got 2 professors who agreed to write them. One of them has already submitted it, the other has not. I asked him originally in May when I was taking a cl...

I got my letter of recommendation from him last week. I sent him an email explaining how stressed out I was and he did it right away. What a relief! Thanks all for the advice.

I am finishing up my fourth and final semester of pre-req's and I have four kids. It is a juggling act and I don't see how I can take on any more responsibilities, but if you want it bad enough, it is possible. Just make sure to set aside special tim...

I appreciate your opinions. I really do not have any one else to ask. I have been out of school and the workforce for 10 years to raise my kids so I have no connections other than from the classes I have recently taken and I have used all the referen...

I am thinking about applying to WSCN, but I have read some bad things about the school in previous threads on this site. Anyone know if it has gotten better in the past 2 years?

Please let us know if you get any updates from your friend on the school. I would love to hear from someone currently inthe program. Thanks

It is a BSN program

Anyone taking A & P at UIC??? I need a study buddy desperately.

I was thinking the same thing. It seems too easy. Is it because they are a new school and want to attract students? Or are they just no good? I think maybe it will be my backup in case I can't get in anywhere else :) Anyone else have any comments?

Two of the nursing schools that I want to apply to require the TEAS test. When do I take the test, before or after I apply the schools? If I understand correctly I can take the TEAS through one of the schools I am applying to. The school I am taking ...

I am also planning on applying for Fall 2009. I have been torn about what to do this summer. I haave already taken a year of pre-req's & will be taking more in the fall & it has been very hard to juggle a full time course load & my four k...

I had my first test this past last week & I got a B. It wasn't so hard, but I really wanted an A. It's a pretty interesting class though.

I've been volunteering at a local nursing home where my grandmother lived before she passed away last year. I run a program for the seniors & it is great because I can bring my baby with me, he is always great entertainment. It leaves you with su...

I'm taking nutrition this semester also. I am pretty excited. It should be an interesting class!
