I interviewed in October 2010 for the accelerated program and there was not an essay that was required to be written during the interview. The interview was simply like a job interview. So nerve wracking though! I was accepted that time around. Don't...

Thanks SASlong! That would make total sense. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

SASlong (or anyone else )- I see the list of classes that we are going to be taking, but I guess I still don't understand. I see the amounts of credits and stuff. What I am really looking for is the actual schedule. For example: Mon, Wed, Fri we have...

Hey guys, Does anyone have a recommendation for a specific advisor? I need to make an appointment asap. Please PM me if you have a suggestion. Thanks!

Oh ok, I figured you guys had it by now. I know ours will be in May, which I thought was kind of early. I contacted the advisor there and she said May for us. Anyhow, does anyone have a sample schedule for the first semester? I am just curious and th...

Hey Bronzemint, Although I am not in the May 2011 cohort (I'm Fall 2011), how was orientation? Did they give you guys a schedule yet? I'm just trying to get some sort of feel for our daily schedule for the first semester. Thanks!

I don't think I'd take all three together either. I took Patho and Pharm together and I was pretty busy. I was reading and writing a ton! I suppose it's possible, but I think ejcl68 is right - you won't learn as much. nnarod - did you email them to ...

Hey everyone, I emailed the nursing advisor and like the earlier poster said, orientation will be sometime in May. I just thought I'd update you. :) Thanks!

Hey CD820, I will email tonight, maybe I will hear back soon. I think orientation is only a day, but I am not sure. Does anyone else know? Thanks!

Also, has anyone's status thing on their SAIL page updated to say Accelerated Nursing Student or whatever? Mine still says pre-nursing, but the school cashed my deposit check more than a week ago.

Thanks CD820! Maybe I will email the advisor too and see what I am told. I am really surprised it would be planned for May, but that would actually work out better for me - interesting. :)

Hey CD820, Can I ask who told you that orientation will be in May? My letter only says "summer". I am just trying to plan some things for next summer. May seems like it's really early for a September start date. At least I assume we are starting in S...

Hi CD820, Yes, I took both Patho and Pharm at the same time. I found it extremely time consuming. I didn't necessarily find the coursework difficult, but my undergrad degree is in a science field. If you don't necessarily like reading texts and power...

Hey everyone, Does anyone know when orientation will be for Fall 2011? Just a round-about date. Not the exact one, because I am not even sure the school knows yet. Just a comment based on past Fall cohorts. I asked someone from a different cohort an...

Hey Kivistine, My pre-requisite GPA is a 4.0. However, my undergrad GPA was on the lower side. OU does look at the whole package. I have a ton of edxperience in a hospital setting. Don't be upset about the 3.76 GPA, it is a really good GPA. Also, it ...

I went to an advisor at Baker College and she pretty much told me that the waitlist for Baker College was so long that it would take more than 4 years just to earn the ADN. She told me it wasn't worth my time. It's so irritating how we all get differ...

That is definitely a good point, ejcl. I would love to start early, but I am thinking I may want/need the summer off for sanity reasons. Haha. Plus I am not from MI (but I live here now) and I think I want to go home to see family. It's already been ...

I'm not sure how they "bump" people up. I would like to find that out too. I am taking nutrition in Winter 2011 and then I am done with the pre-reqs. I wonder if they keep a running list of people who are interested? Hmmmm. I wonder if we call and as...

Hey everyone! Take the classes online. I just finished patho and pharm online. We can't post actual names on here, but take these 2 classes from the teacher with the VERY Irish name. I am registered for nutrition online for winter 2011. Unforunately ...

Thanks iluvpatho! :)

I am almost done with the pre-nursing courses. I just have nutrition left to take. Oh, I'm excited. :)

OMG! We are all accepted! Yay! Congrats to Bronzemint - awesome you get to start May 2011!!!! Congrats to Dandy!!!! I am hoping I can move up, but who cares??? I will take it however it comes. :) @Dandy - do you start in May or September?

Hi Danigirl, so you are joining us for Fall 2011? Congrats! I was rejected for the May 2011 cohort too. I just can't believe this is actually happening. :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you! :) Now, there better be acceptance letters in your mailboxes when you get home. I can't believe I actually was chosen. I have been applying all over southeastern Michigan for the last 2 1/2 years. Finally. :)
