Has anyone who applied for the May 2009 start date found out if they were accepted yet (or know anybody who has found out)? I was originally told December, and haven't heard anything yet....

I'd agree that GPA would be something for the school to consider, but I can't believe it's the ONLY thing they would look at. Jbeau you wouldn't care to share your pointofview on this would you?

Would you mind providing me with a general overview of your experiences in the program? ie how intensive the coursework, clinicals, did it prepare you sufficiently for the NCLEX, etc? Thanks again

Jbeau, Did you take the A+P and Statistics classes before applying? I spoke to the academic advisor at USM and she said you could apply by the 10/1 deadline as long as you had completed those classes prior to the May start date...then she told me of the 300 applicants to 20 accepted ratio. I'm guessing that to be accepted into the program, you also took the other "suggested" courses? (microbiology, growth+development, chemistry)? My dilemma right now is to spend the better part of the next year taking all of these courses in order to apply for 10/1/09 and be accepted first time....anythoughts how to be one of the chosen? also any chance that being male will help (everything else being equal) Thanks
