Wondering if many people were accepted to both and if most would go to Wayne and turn down their Oakland acceptance? Just trying to assess my luck as an alternate!

Congrats! Anyone else receive a call from Wayne State?

I received a call to be an alternate. Anyone know anything about previous students that were admitted being an alternate? I know there are 6 alternates but they won't given an order. Just trying to see my chances here. Also anyone here apply to Wayn...

Hi everyone. Hoping to get some help regarding my first job offer. I take my boards on Monday and am lucky enough to have 2 job offers lined up. I have no idea which to take. The one offer I wasn't expecting but it's for a good hospital system in t...

I currently am finishing up my 2nd semester of an accelerated BSN program, with one semester left. We too had a math proficiency test on our first day and it wasn't bad in my opinion, but I like math. The program itself has been doable. I've managed...

Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it! After sleeping on the situationI think I am just going to move forward. Like you said, it's probably not worth it to rock the boat. I'm going to follow up with my email about the test questions and ...

Just wondering how many of you have a problem with your professors. I have an issue this semester, and I have gone straight to them with the issues I have and nothing is resolved. For example, regarding test questions. I found exact page numbers w...

I was in the same situation, I had a lower cumulative GPA but a really nice science, pre-nursing core GPA. I actually was accepted into a school that looked at the pre-nursing science GPA ONLY and not at your cumulative undergrad degree. Maybe you ...

Gina, the accelerated program currently takes places in Detroit. All classes are held there. However, I know OU is constructing the new building so come next year, if finished, it might move there. But the campus in Detroit does have a simulation...

I applied to OU and even though they say they take a holistic approach to admissions, you better knock it out with your interview and and essay if your gpa isn't that high. I retook 2 classes to boost my GPA. The interview and essay I'm sure play a...

Thankfully I don't have anxiety before a test, but I would definitely say to stay out of the classroom before the test! I got to class about 30 mins before a test once and everyone in the classroom is freaking out, it's nuts! I try to stop studying...

I know a lot of schools want a 3.0 or a 3.2 just to be apply to apply to the program, some a 2.7. But a lot of schools do GPA, goal statement, interview etc. when taking into account applicants rather than programs that look at only gpa. I would do...

They used to have you write an essay before your interview, not anymore. The only essay I know of is the goal statement provided with the application materials.

I'm 26 pursuing my 2nd bachelors as well. I've been with my boyfriend for nearly six years. I know you love your fiance, but you need to do you. I'm incredibly lucky in that my boyfriend is extremely understanding and knows that this is my goal an...

Ihave heard of of people struggling in accelerated programs for many different reasons. Many just realize it's not for them and realize nursing isn't for them. Some people have commitments outside of school that they can't just drop, like working, ...

Hi, just a word of advice, I would look at the NCLEX passing rate for each school when making that decision, after all that is one of the most important things when becoming a nurse. When I did my research, I think OUs was pretty high, and UofDs is ...

Hi there, anyone getting ready to interview in the next couple months for the Oakland University Accelerated nursing program? Thought this would be a good place in share experiences! Good luck! Also, does anybody in the program already have any advi...

Hi all. Sorry to hear the bad news. This was my second time applying and not getting accepted. The first time I applied I didn't get much feedback as to what may have been wrong. I rewrote my essay and the 2nd time around I had experience as a CN...

How many people were interviewing you all? I had one. Also, did the person write down a lot of what you were saying? Just wondering!

I too received my letter yesterday but did not get in. Now it's time to figure out the next steps. Congratulations to everyone who did get accepted! :)

yes, thank you xadunzo, it's always nice to hear about the program from people who went through it! I'm hoping we find out this week. Although a part of me keeps telling myself that maybe it's better not knowing because it could be a no and I don't ...

Like another poster said, I don't think the last interviews were until March 12th, so I'm guessing a few weeks from that date, they said they would let people know in about a month, but it could be much sooner, who knows! I guess we just have to kee...

I keep checking my email a bunch too, as much as I can, lol! I had the same professors as the poster above for Nutrition, and the lady with the Irish last name for Patho. I'm taking Pharmacology this summer with the Irish. I liked the classes and...

This looks like great news for everyone, how exciting. Now it's just a waiting game to see if we get accepted or not! Maybe with the changes taking place we'll be finding out sooner! For those that interviewed this round I wonder how many are eligib...

I heard the same thing from quite a few different people as well, and I heard it was because they opened up some more clinical spots. I didn't want to say anything as I only heard from students regarding this so I don't know 100% but it sounds like ...
