Hey Reneesuzy, Congrats on your acceptance! Sorry to hear the news about your dad...It would be pretty ironic if a nursing school didn't view a cancer diagnosis as an extreme circumstance. I'm interested in knowing whether or not you will be able to postpone attending until May.

Thanks so much for your encouragement...I will take your advice and not let this discourage me from achieving my goal one way or another! You helped make this waiting game and disappointment of not getting accepted more bearable. Best of luck to you. You are embarking on what will most likely be an extremely challenging and rewarding experience.:)

I so appreciate you taking time to respond to my questions!! I just got my DENY letter today. I was not surprised that I was not accepted, but I thought I might have had a chance of being put on the wait list. Now I'm wondering if applying a second time would even be worth a try. When you were put on the wait list the first time you applied, did you call the admissions office and ask them if they could give you specifics about how you could improve your candidacy? Do you know of anyone who was not accepted at all (not even wait listed) who applied for a second time and got accepted? Thanks, Tricia

I'm still waiting for my letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've pretty much accepted the fact that I was not accepted this time around. Candystriper I was wondering, since you said that this was your second time applying, if UNC gave you any indication or clue about how good your chances of getting accepted the second time around would be. When you reapplied, did you submit new essays? Did you reatake any courses, or do anything specific to improve your candidacy the second time you applied? Did you have volunteer experience on your first application? Were all of your prerequisites completed on your first application? If not, which class(es) did you still have to complete? I know I am firing so many questions at you and I really appreciate any responses you could give me. I'm trying to formulate a plan and am going out of my mind because I have absolutely no information from UNC at this late stage in the game. Thanks! This is me :)

Thanks so much for you reply Candystriper. Congratulations!! Wow...two weeks ago...I don't think that's good news for me! What in the world are they waiting for...I've been going out of my mind wondering and waiting for an answer. Did your letter have a date in which you had to reply back about your intent to attend? Do you mind sharing with me what that date was if there was one. Also, if you don't mind sharing, did you have all of your prerequisites completed when you applied? Do you know of anyone who received a rejection letter yet? Thanks and congratulations!

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who applied to UNC-Chapel Hill BSN program for May 2009 admission. Letters of acceptance/wait list/rejection are due any day now, or perhaps some people have already received a letter. Let me know if you have. I'm really anxious about what mine is going to say.
