I thought I'd be a 2009 Fall Hopeful, but after meeting with the adviser yesterday, I was informed that I would be in a "provisional status". Basically, I was an awful student at Vanderbilt, and my GPA reflected such, so the new school, Our Lady of the Lake College, is allowing me to have academic renewal and erase the prior grades, but I have to start all over from scratch including taking an academic seminar and having a first semester limit of 7-9 hours, the academic seminar is 1 hour and I am taking Organic Chemistry and Anatomy and Physiology I. Where are you applying? Our Lady of the Lake Nursing school What are their requirements/what do they look at for admission? GPA, Teas score, pre-reqs (Chem, A&P I, College Algebra, English, Psychology, and Academic Seminar). I will also more than likely miss the deadline for Fall 09 even though I can apply because of the restrictions for Spring 09; however I have been advised that if I miss the deadline, then I'll be able to take the core courses in the fall and it will make me a more desirable applicant when I apply for the spring 10 well, that and it'll put me closer to graduation What is your current GPA? (science and GE) I don't have a GPA yet due to the academic renewal. As back2thebooks said, let's see what age and maturity does. Any entrance exams? scores? I have to pass the TEAS Plan A, B and C? A: Get into school for the Fall 09, B: Get into school for Spring 10, but have most of the first semester nursing courses completed. C: Get into nursing school for Fall 10 and have a huge majority of my nursing courses completed.

YAY! I too am glad I found this site. I worked as a court reporter for 4 years and loathed it after a while. I am a single mom and will be working full time while in school. Oh yeah, did I mean I have about 70k in student loans?!:smackingf... long ago I went to a private school to become a biomedical engineer. Most of the loan that I have is in the private sector, so I'm still eligible for a bit of federal loans, but I'm applying for all of the scholarships and grants that I can instead. I learned my mistake at a young age. I'm only 28 and have had this massive debt my entire adult life, but c'est la vie.

Where are you applying? I received regular acceptance into Our Lady of the Lake College in Baton Rouge, LA. What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice? I don't have a GPA as I was granted academic renewal which means buh-bye to yucky Vandy GPA. I'll get back to this answer after the Spring semester, but I'm aiming for perfection :bowingpur3.7-4.0.... When is your schools deadline? March 1st for the fall, but I hear there's a summer program, so this may be for the summer program which in turn means there may be a later date for the fall. When does the acceptance letters go out? It varies. What is your plan A, B, C...? A. Get done with the pre-reqs during night school, quit my day job focus on school. B. Having to wait a bit longer to finish my prereqs because of the limited availability of night school courses.
