I got in too!!! I was out all day, just got home and checked---the email came in around 4:30 like the rest of you. Congrats to everyone getting such wonderful news (special shout-out to Punkydoodles,...

@PAMQ---I think you're right, it might be kind of at random. Patience is key. :) @Stephmarie: I hear you on that. If anything keeps me out, I think it'll be my past grades. Without saying too much...

Had my interview today---it went really well! I got awesome feedback and am feeling confident! :) Also, I asked my interviewer about clinicals, and told her I'd been planning to move to the...

I'm pretty sure you can accept TWU by the deadline, then cancel/decline later if need be. What are they gonna do...make you go there? And that's the point of the waitlist too...people change their...

I have been wondering the same thing...I got into TWU too! Either way I have to move from Austin...I think that UTMB is my preference (if I get in!). I'm going to ask more about this during my...

Someone mentioned that they allot a certain number of acceptances per interview session, and I think that must be what they're doing---it would not be in our best interest (or theirs) to have run out...
This is why I spend so much time on Allnurses---so I can get a realistic grasp of what I'll be doing and what kinds of things to expect when I start nursing school and then when I get into the "real...

Yes, I'd also love to hear how long interviews lasted! They have a lot of people scheduled at the same time; is there a long wait? I might have to get back to Austin for work later that...

They sent my email to my personal account---I don't think we have a UTMB one yet (unlike TWU). And like I said in my last post, I got a phone call first (it was actually from an "UNKNOWN" number, but...

I heard via phone call actually---she called to let me know and confirm the time, then sent the info via email as well. It does look like they're doing things in batches, like they get a stack of...

Punkydoodles---what about Prairie View or HBU? Both have high NCLEX pass rates and decent reputations from what I know. Anyway, it ain't over yet! :hug: I hear you on the frustration, getting antsy...

@PAMQ: Um, nope, they sent out admissions stuff a few weeks ago. I got a letter in the mail on March 8th (I remember because it was Mardi Gras, so I went out and partied away my depression!) Check out...

Thanks Katejane, it helps to hear that other people with complete apps and those stats have not heard. I'm starting to feel calm again about the whole thing, actually. (Application mood swings, y'all...

I just called and spoke to someone in Admissions. First I mentioned that someone had heard during an info session about the 3.0/70 thing, and she said that's not accurate? Not sure what's up with...

I don't understand what's going on with my application. I'm well above those minimum qualifications but have heard nothing, and Mystar's always said my application is complete. When I emailed...

LOL! Hilarious, I get that vibe too. At any rate: inflammatory, uneducated, off-topic (if we're going with the ostensible topic of HIV) = the trifecta of bad
chaos0058 replied to MMA-N-Nursing's topic in General Nursing
Totally. Plus in the OP's hypothetical situation, the person acquires HIV by "going to bars/clubs and if the flirtatious conversation goes well, she goes and sleeps with some random guy." Totally...
