What was the attendance like? Did they give any idea as to how many applicants there were last year, and how many seats were accepted? Also, did anyone mention the organic chemistry requirement...
Hi Alexa! Welcome! I'm in the same boat - planning to apply to MGH DEN (though I'm still gathering all my application materials!), and I'm taking the GRE in a couple weeks. I've worked in research at...

I heard nothing from them. No phone call, nothing in the mail, no e-mail, nothing. Very disappointed and discouraged. I'd be happy even if I got a rejection letter, at this point. Oh well, guess it...

Wow, this is really good news - maybe there is hope! I think I'll likely join you in that heart attack, should they tell me my application is incomplete.

Hi Vegas2009, Regarding your comment: "But, it's almost like Guantanamo Bay to try to get in there... the odds of getting shot, are higher than trying to penetrate UNLV's nursing camp (seriously)." Do...

This is a VERY useful thread. Thanks everybody. I am in the same boat as many of you, a 29 year old (in Boston) wanting to do an accelerated BSN program. Oh, and I desperately want to move to Las...

Hey Dreamsound! I don't have any new information for you, but I did want to say that I'm in nearly EXACTLY the same position as you are. Close in age, career-change, similar GPA, just a few pre-reqs...
