I got in with a very good GPA but not a 4.0. I was very impressed with the admissions process and of all the schools I applied to, Oakland appeared to be the most fair, caring, and least political....
Hi, I disagree a little - GPA does matter. I have heard of 3.5's & 3.6's not get in the program. Likely it was other things that did them in but grades matter since it predicts success in the...
Does anyone have the email address to the lady O' who teaches Pharm?? If so, please PM me. I couldn't locate it on the Oakland directory, I am trying to figure out what book is required. Thanks...
Hi, I had Patho with the guy as well. I would tend to agree with SA that the exams/quizzes were a little tricky - especially the first third. But overall I would recommend him. There are two papers...
SA: There's probably a decent chance you get moved up. I would tell them now that you are interested and check every few months. It can't hurt you to be persistent. Did you take the last three...
SA: I mailed my deposit on Tuesday, it cashed on Wednesday and it took about a week for my status to change from Pre-Nursing to Accelerated nursing January 2011. So I guess the best thing to do is...
Cari, Don't worry - you will get notified. I was just notified today for an online interview which I declined since I am going to another program instead. From what I was told, everyone gets the...
I actually called the Cashiers office and my check was already cashed. I guess they forward the form onto the nursing school and they update. I am just staying on top of things since I have heard...
Is anyone else having issues getting in touch with someone in advising?? I emailed and called and nothing. I am sure they are busy with the May class but I am trying to confirm they got my response...
Hi Riverview; congrats on getting accepted. I would suggest Royal Oak. It's an excellent location and very close to the highways. Since we will be spending a lot of time at Riverview, this would be...
Thanks WJ2010; I see they received and cashed my deposit check but my status still shows pre-accel nursing. I wonder if it's because I still need to take Pharm and Nutrition? Not sure. I may call to...
Hi, for those who were accepted, I assume we all went ahead and turned in deposits. Does anyone know how/when we will be notified that we have a secured reservation for the program?? How many of...
Hi, I had Patho and yes there are set exams/quizzes and two papers two (which are short). If you take the prof(think of Kitchen) I had, expect a quiz every week. It was more intense because you...
I agree, I don't think it matters. I would say based on me working in a hospital for a year as a volunteer and being at a nursing home for clinical, I would go for a nursing home. I see a lot of...
Advising told me to be very patient with the process as it's long..so I am not surprised. Thankfully I am accepted to another great program :) Yay!!!! Big weight off my shoulders. Good luck to...
I didn't get the email either. It could be because I didn't apply until two weeks before the deadline and one of my references was late due to an illness. I'm not worried about it since I did all I...
WJ: Good point, the Riverview site is for Labs only. I know Fall is Beaumont and Spring is St. Johns - not sure about Winter. I will try to find out and let everyone
I live near Rochester so Yes, I would be interested in car pooling. If anyone sets up a page, PM me and let me know. It would also be cool if we could meet up somewhere(pub or bar/restaurant)before...
Hi Steph, Thanks!! I think it is a rolling admission. When I applied, I was told I was being slated for January 2011. But they can never guarantee anything. My best advice is to apply as soon as...
Hi everyone, I finally received my letter of acceptance for January 2011 start. I'm very sorry to hear about those who got bad news. I know how it feels as I was rejected for another program a few...
Well mail came and went - nothing from Oakland. What's going on here?? Anyone else hear anything?? I say this tongue and cheek - just was hoping to know before Easter so I can enjoy the holiday....
WJ2010: Congratulations!! It sounds like they are sending letters then instead of email My mail hasn't come yet so I hope to hear today as well. My gut told me before Easter. Cool. Good luck to...
