Congratulations Jacoba! I'm excited to meet everyone and get started!

Hi Lynzee79, I am just leaving Tucson to go back home...I connected with another MEPN student and we signed a lease for a condo. I kind of wish I had just sub-let for the summer to learn the area as well, but we really liked this place and took the plunge. I look forward to meeting you in class in a few weeks!! PS the girl I signed the lease with is the only other person I know going

Hi everyone! I was accepted to USF, but am declining the offer this time (I was rejected for spring entry) because I already accepted at U of A. So to those on the waitlist, here's another spot! Good luck to everyone!

Thanks farmerjen, I have found quite a few places on craigslist and am flying out in a couple weeks to check them out and hopefully sign a lease.

Can anyone offer any advice on where to live in Tucson? I want to be by campus but have no idea about neighborhoods/roommates. Thanks!

Yesterday I received a voicemail to call the college of nursing, so I did this morning. I got in! So good luck to those on the waitlist!!

I just called the college of nursing to try and find out when they would notify us if we are accepted off the waitlist and she couldn't say but did say it would be via phone call, not email.

Jacoba, how did you hear about the number of alternates? I couldn't seem to get information about the number of spots. Thanks!

I got waitlisted as well...I called the college of nursing to see what position and they said they weren't allowed to tell.

I got my acceptance packet today! RunMT I'm so surprised you weren't accepted right away....our stats were practically identical. Don't give up though, number 4 is a good position!!!! And I'm coming from out of state and will need a roomate:)

Vincent I don't think you should worry about your age. It's never too late to make a change in your life to do something you feel is more worthwhile.

Hi Gabby, I have a 9:05 interview and am driving to Tucson from southern CA. I'm going a day early to check out the campus and the city too!

I applied for this program...I have read through these messages and see that there are definitely mixed feelings about it, but I figure if I make it to the interview stage I can decide for myself. The program is new so there are bound to kinks to work out, but who knows, it might be awesome!

Dang sorry you have to take another micro class Run, but hopefully it will all be worth it when you're sitting in nursing class in a few months:) I really hope they didn't get 150 applicants! And that we all get in:)!!

Thanks Run, I really hope we learn soon rather than later as well. I've been to Flagstaff once and it was when I was twelve years old, so needless to say I am going to need to visit as well! I have similar stats to you, 95 on the HESI and 3.6 on the prereqs, and odd, but I got the exact same results for the personality tests. When I asked Gregg at NAU about the test he said those portions were included simply because they are short and they can see what learning styles students are partial too, but these results would not play a role in admissions.
