Hi all, I am new to nursing school and very interested in oncology. I understand that school and experience open your eyes to many different types of nursing and may lead you into a career path that you never thought of, so I don't have blinders on. ...

I wore a business suit - black jacket & skirt, hose, conservative closed-toe heels, a button down. Men were in suits and ties. Dress was pretty formal.

They told us on our first day that our cohort's (traditional and accel) average GPA was higher than the average GPA for med school admission and that we beat out approx ten other people for our spot. My assumption was that our GPA, essay, and intervi...

I would not worry as much about experience. I had a 3.84 GPA and worked in business for many years with no professional healthcare experience. I do have previous research experience, am very passionate about nursing (which came through in my essay an...

Huh? CU is merit based as well, and is the most selective of all the schools in the state. It's ranked #15 nationally and costs less than Regis. I'm not sure I would agree with this person. Personally I would wait a year before applying so that you c...

Hey Leafleaf, They weren't really clear about summer versus fall. I believe that it applied to both - that we are required to be available 5-7 days a week, basically. My main question was if my daughter would need to be in full time or part time care...

Congrats Asthecrowflies!!!! Tanjuchale, I heard back from CU. It appears we will be in class from 8-1 at least 3 days a week, we will have a 5-hour lab once a week, and scheduled time in the sim lab every week as well. They basically said that clinic...

CU is very research focused. My assumption is that stats is just as important as the other prereqs in your admission.

Congrats on your acceptance! That's awesome! I'm in the exact same position - I'm staying home with my 2 year old and I need to figure out if she will need to be in part time or full time care. I plan on calling them in the next day or so and I'll co...

I believe the program starts the first week of June. I have no idea how you got that 60-70K number for cost! The total cost of the program was estimated by the school to be around $32K.

I'm so sorry for your disappointment. That is really baffling with your credentials. My guess is that they assigned numerical scores to our GPAs, essays, and interviews, and then ranked us. I hope you keep trying. (hugs)

Thank you so much asthecrowflies!

Congrats Bird!

Has anyone tried to get to this link they sent out in the application letter? Every time I enter it is says Page Not Found!

I just received my letter today. The letter date was 11/19, but the postmark was 11/26. I was accepted. Hang in there everyone!

Hey guys! After days of anxiety I finally received my letter today! I was accepted!!!!!!! So excited!!!!!

I wish we didn't have to wait for a letter! After the interview I felt pretty calm about waiting but as every day goes by I'm more nervous!

I hear they mix accelerated and traditional students in these interviews. Is that right? I wonder if they give a grade for our answers to each question...I don't understand really how we are being evaluated. My day is tomorrow - I really have butterf...

What is the "call list?"

I also just received my itinerary for interview day. Mine is November 8th. I'm so nervous and excited! I would love to know what they're going to ask us! Eeek!

I did! :) I sure hope I am accepted into the program. I'm really dying of curiosity about this interview. Do they give any tests?! Or is it six hours of talking? Observered group activities? So many possibilities....

I am so excited. Fingers crossed....

Congrats Ysmith!

I applied to the traditional, though I have a BA already (I have kids and think that traditional is better suited for me). I got an email today inviting me to an interview. I am so excited! I was surprised to see that there is a six hour interview. D...
