    Hi Iliana, I think it depends on how many people are in the "borderline" section. They had over 400 applicants with 190 that were qualified. They were only accept a total of 50 people (40 at County...

    Have either of you called and just asked if anything was mailed to you or if you got in? With Ace getting his letter, maybe it's worth a shot to just ask. I called today to get parking info and Erica...

    blue4thebeach replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi Iliana - Congrats on you pre-entrance results! I knew you were good to go! Maybe it's a good sign that Maria called to ask for your HS transcript. I would take it as a good sign. Anyone else get...

    blue4thebeach replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I also purchased a bookstand. For my note-taking, I invested in an inexpensive clipboard that I can place at almost any angle (often in my lap or on the table). This helped with the space issue on...
