I thought my chances were pretty slim as well, but its worth a try! However, if you got into another nursing school it might be safe to go with them, plus you start sooner. Honestly, I would have gone the shorter, quicker route if it werent for some other factors (boyfriend, job, ect.) As long as the school you get into is accredited then end result is all the same! :) Im not sure what you mean about the total number of units for my prerequisites...? My pre-req GPA for UC Denver included AP 1 and 2, Microbiology, and Stats. I finished them all last year (after I completed my undergraduate). Hope that was clear, let me know if you need any more info! :)

Hi Elyse23, I originally applied for the summer 2010 accelerated program, and was given spring 2011 traditional program. I chose Denver even though it was longer and more expensive than the other school (NAU) that I was accepted to because of the great reputation of UC Denver. Also, I have always wanted to live in Colorado (I am currently in Alaska), and it seemed like the right time to try something new. Do you have any insight as to where to live there? Here are my stats so you can compare: Applied : Nov 15th, 2009 Accepted : March, 2010 Prerequisite GPA : 4.0 Bachelor's GPA : 3.29 Essay : I have heard this is VERY important. If your essay is even 1 word longer than what they say, your whole application will be thrown out. Also, when I spoke to an adviser about possibly starting earlier, he told me that this years admission stats were 1/100 student. BTW, my background check was cleared early, so everything is good! Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

Even though my charges were DISMISSED? Therefor, I was not convicted of anything?

Hello Everyone - I really hope those of you that haven't heard back will get replies SOON! The waiting is excruciating. I wish nothing but the best for you guys and hope you all get in. I got my letter about a week 1/2 ago...I applied for the Summer Accelerated and was given Spring 2011 Traditional. I have another offer at NAU for an accelerated program so there may be a spot open if I cannot get some questions answered regarding the background check. For those of you who are admitted, or have had some experience with UC Denver, I would love some feedback. First off, I am ECSTATIC to have been admitted, however, now I am worrying myself sick thinking of the background check. You see, several years ago (first year of College, young and dumb), I was busted for a DUI/Driving while endangering another person/Reckless Driving. I completed a diversion program and all of the charges were DISMISSED. However, I know that these offenses will still show up on the background check (as DUI Diversion - Dismissed). My question is this : Is there anyway that I will not be allowed to participate in the nursing program (clinicals) because of my background? So far I am choosing UC Denver over another college AND moving all the way from Alaska to attend, so if I move to Denver and then not allowed to start/complete the nursing program, I will be devastated. Has anyone out there had any experience with this, especially with UC Denver? I have already put in a call to the UC Denver office, however the lady who can help me is out of town. In the meantime, I was hoping for some feedback and piece of mind regarding this issue. Thank you in advance for any replies!

Anyone? I would really appreciate some feedback! :)
