   Congrats bp2244:yeah::yeah:! I'm so happy for you. Like Triple A said, all nursing schools are really competitive now, so it's really great that you were called. Thanks Nurserica for posting that info.... Triple A, my name also starts with C, I'm going to call tomorrow. This is going to be a long night. To Jennyy329, if you get accepted to BI, of course it's your decision, but I say go for it. At the open house they said after you graduate from BI you can get your BSN at Pace in one year with their accelerated program. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

   Hi everyone, I hope all the mommies had a great Mother's Day! Well, we should be knowing something soon.... good luck everyone. To Nynatv, I'm so sorry to hear you didn't get in. But as others have posted don't give up. Keep taking the required classes and if I were you I would try getting the NLN scores from BI (maybe they can fax it to you?), and ask them for the composite score, ad & all percentiles and how many you got correct in each of the sections. That way you will know which sections to work on. I need to work on science, and if I don't make it in this year I'll be trying again next year. Best of luck to you and keep us posted on how you're doing.............

   wow, what happened to the thread? Hi everyone.... bp2244, luv your positive attitude. No new updates. I tried to get in touch with *** *****, but I just got her voicemail. Has anyone tried to reach her today? Looking at old threads from last year, it seems like people were getting contacted around the second week of May for interviews.

   Hi Anabella, I second honeycutts and bp2244 in welcoming you to this thread. The waiting is nerve-wracking. You and I have the same nln scores-128, 89%ad, but mine say 90% all. I took my test on april 8th, but just finished handing them all my papers last week. I hope we hear something soon..................:)

   Hi mystiqx, congrats on almost finishing your journey at BI. I applied to pbison for this fall and am waiting to see if they call me. I've been keeping busy reading old threads about people who applied before and ran into your postings. There were more applicants this year than in previous years- over 900 according to what a recent interviewee posted. Can you tell me how your overall experience was at the school? And do you know what the average nln scores and gpa were of the people who were accepted along with you when you attended? Or better yet the lowest nln score of anyone accepted when you were there? I have an nln composite of 128 and 90% all. The school just received all my transcripts last week, so I'm anxiously awaiting.... any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

   Nursefor2011, being 17 with a 3.6 and 99 percentile is impressive. Maybe you just got the wrong impression on how the interview went. The fact that they called you for an interview means that they were impressed. So, just don't worry about it, I'm sure everything will work out great for you. With your grades you can get into almost any school that you want to.

   Hi Jennyy329, I'm glad to hear your interview went well. Did you get to find out what your NLN score was? Hi eilama27, I called *** ***** later this afternoon, sometime after 3PM. I tried her a couple of times before I was able to get in touch with her.

   Thanks bp2244, it was such a relief when I called today and *** ***** said they had everything, she knew right away. Oh, and I asked her if I should just wait for them to contact me and she said I should call back on Thursday. kittty - I applied to the traditional 2 year, but I was just looking at BI brochure and it seems that you should already have microbiology done to get into the ATOP program, but you should call them to confirm.

   Hi Nurse2011, why do you feel your interview didn't go well? What happened, did they say something to you to make you feel that way or was it just an overall feeling that you had?

    Thanks bp2244, I'll keep that in mind. I'm hoping it won't come to that. *** ***** said she had almost a thousand applications to sort through, so perhaps it's somewhere among them. There were two ladies that I handed it to, I know one of them is the assistant dean who was there the day of their open house. They both seemed really nice, and said they would put it on *** *****'s desk. Well, I'll just have to call back tomorrow and see.

    Hey bp2244, *** ***** told me not to worry about my low science score, it's the overall score that matters. So that made me feel somewhat better.

    Hi Nynatv25, I actually took my exam on April 8, and both BI and I received my scores. As honeycutts said you should call them up to make sure, but they almost certainly have them. Fortunately for us who took the exams late ( and for me who handed in everything late), they just told me at BI that they do not accept applications on a rolling basis.

    I have good news and bad news. First the bad news: I called *** ***** today (she really is a sweetheart and very helpful) and she told that she didn't have all my remainding documents that I personally handed in last week (she wasn't there and I handed them to someone else) . But she said that she was going to look for them and to call her back tomorrow. She said she busy today sending out a couple of hundred rejection letters. The good news for me is that she said my scores were good enough for consideration. I'm really concerned because when I handed them my things i had them in a plastic binder and the ladies who took it removed my documents and handed the binder back to me. Included in these documents was my essay which did not have my name on it. So everything was loose. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
