I thought I'd start one of these, I haven't seen one. Only one year away (almost)! Where are you applying? What are their requirements/what do they look at for admission? What is your current GPA? (science and GE) Any entrance exams? scores? Plan ...

It depends on the school. Some go by a waitlist, some use a lottery system and some take students based on best GPA. It also depends on where you live. If you're looking at private schools, some of those take students automatically. It just depends h...

No I'm not applying to LB again, stickin to SMC, I love living here (I live 10 blocks from the nursing campus). I heard before I took the test that it was a lot harder than the TEAS, which I scored 88% on like 2 years ago. I didn't study for the PA...

Yeah, well the other reason I didn't take the chance was because the orientation was on the exact same day at the exact same time as the orientation for CSULB, which I was an alternate for. And I wanted to see if I'd get in but I didn't... oh wells. ...

I applied October 2010. I got invited to take the entrance exam October 2011. I got an email in November saying that I was an alternate for the Spring semester and I could either go to orientation to potentially get in for Spring *if more people chos...

That's not what she told me. She told me that some semesters they take 3 alternates, and some seasons they take everyone on the list... it just depends on the season.

Hey everyone - Just wondering if anyone is waiting to here about acceptance to Santa Monica College's nursing program. I got put on the wait list mid-October this past year and I'm hoping to get in this coming Spring. I guess we find out about 6 mo...

I talked to her on the phone but I didn't get an email. Anyone? I'm on the alternate list...

yeah, she expects it, just tell her your name

joke joke joke

so time to hire a hitman?

Anyone know how many people are on the alternate list?

it says the same thing, that it's under review. So if they didn't cut back I'd be number 2 on the alternate list...... this sucks.

I'm number 14 on the alternate list.... she said that sometimes they go through 3 alternates and sometimes they go through the whole list, it just depends on the season. People can also hold a spot until they hear back from other schools, she said al...

That's what mine says too when I check the status. I agree.

I haven't taken any of the co-reqs yet. Actually, I'm still waiting to hear back from CSULB's nursing program, because I interviewed there a couple weeks ago so there is a possibility of that. :-) I'll find out in a couple weeks!

I got invited to take the NLN entrance exam, which I took last week and passed :) So I'm just waiting to hear back now.

yeah..but not THAT many...?

I'm pretty sure out of all the people who gets interviewed, everyone either winds up in the program, or on the alternate list. Unless you fail the interview....

I asked, she said about 120

I was told first or second week of November - We will be notified via email when the list is posted physically at the nursing department, and letters will be sent shortly after that. :)

Geeze, my score is 8.8..... I feel like I'm gonna be right on the cutoff. Anyone else interviewing Tuesday at 4?

yeah, i don't think they would do 30 people per hour... I heard it was more like 5-10 per group. And let's say there are about 8 groups per day (that is just a guess, reg work day 8-5 with lunch break for interviewers), that is at MOST 160 (figuring ...

No, she didn't say anything about anything lol. It's still Friday though :) What did she say the email would be about? Don't we already have all the info we need from the first email?

I haven't gotten anything
