  1. ADN=RN

    This is even more true when it is taken into consideration that the ADN programs offen require extensive pre-reqs and co-recs that are usually taken prior to starting school. The students the CC that...
  2. Scared I won't get in

    Always like hearing a story about beating the odds. Glad you didn't let the "hive" dissuade you from applying. It makes sense (that you got in) if you think about it: everyone on AN.com "has a 4.0"...
  3. I PM'ed ya. And yeah, as long as you show true progress you'll stand a chance. How are you on vol work? It was a corner stone of my application
  4. UMB is going for the whole package. The 4 sciences are weighted heavy, and of those sciences the most weight is placed on A&P. They do look at everyone that meets the min. And one last thing: go...
  5. Hardest Prerequisite

    Chem hands down. Not that Chem is extremely hard, it's just the hardest pre-req. At my college only 55% of the students pass the course the first time around, but again I think alot of it comes to the...
  6. Grants

    Your EFC is high enough that your Cost of Attendance isn't really a factor. You are lucky to get that 555, because with out the modification your EFC is too high to get any grants. Again, if you are...
  7. efc

    It's a not-for-profit so it's invested in your education (almost A's good A's state) but it is very expensive. If you are worried about student loans, you should improve your GPA and apply to state...
  8. Grants

    I know the grants are 5500, but the dept of Ed graph shows that EFC's above 4617 are in eligible. However, the instruction that comes with the graph increases that EFC to 5273. However you should have...
  9. efc

    State school is good (why is it so expensive though?). State schools are some of the biggest grantors of aid. However, your GPA isn't so high that you can count on merit based aid. And your EFC might...
  10. Grants

    If your efc is above 4618 you will not get Pell grants (this is off the 2010-11 charts, but I don't think it will change too much this
  11. efc

    There is so much more that goes into it all than efc. Is it a state school, nonprofit, or for profit? What year of school are you entering? Is this your first degree? Are your grades good enough for...
  12. Previous Academic Probation

    So you should not do a premed post bac. Premed doesn't do A&P, and most don't do micro (those are both med courses), premed also will have you do two years of Chem, which depending on your...
  13. Need some Positive feedback

    Don't feel bad about repeating courses. Despite a chemistry heavy career, I was forced to take an intro to chemistry course before I could take a college level chemistry course (that I had already...
  14. Scholarships (HRSA) that require you work for them?

    Yeah EFC, glad you knew what I ment. Anyways I asked because the HRSA is rarely awarded to students with an EFC above zero, it happens, but zeros are served first and there are way more zeros than...
  15. Scholarships (HRSA) that require you work for them?

    Lets not put the cart in front of the horse. Do you have an ECF of
  16. Will I get into nursing school?

    You are going to have a herd time getting into most schools. I think your problem may be in your approach. You say you work hard, but you were unaware that the best possiable outcome your class was a...
  17. Different School, but it took 2.5 months from the deadline to hear back, which was 3 months from when I applied. Of course if you are applying for this fall you are going to get results
  18. Private nursing schools in Phoenix

    Wait, let me get this straight. You moved to Phoenix to get into a nursing program but you had no idea the CC's had waitlists and you don't know about, and are unable to find any private school...
  19. How to keep a high gpa during nursing program?

    It should be, but nursing school is so hard that only those 3 posters got good
  20. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    The fact is that the 33% you pay in tax is a bargain when you consider that it allows you to live in a safe and free land. I don't make much, but I make more than I would, even after taxes, than I...
  21. Shady Grove Hospital?

    A friend of mine is a local EMT and patients would demand to get taken to hospitals closer to the beltway, even though they were right next to SG. In realitiy a job is more or less a job in this...
  22. RN

    Well I can't think if a time where you could land a job 10 days after you started
  23. Maryland/DC area ABSN's

    Those are ok schools, but why not go for your CNL at UMB, it's a ABSN in a masters package (read: eligible for fin-aid) and it's a very highly ranked
  24. Post 9/11 GI Bill

    Don't pay up front, too many headaches. The school is set up to accept third party payments from reputable organizations (Pell grants, student loans, and other fin-aid is often delivered to the school...
  25. Getting into a school, non impacted programs??

    Montgomery College in Silver Spring MD doesn't have waitlists. Not to say its not flush with candidates, you really have to be an all-star to get into any public school here in MD, but if your grades...
