Have you looked at the number of applicants for last term? The competition is stiff at smu. You're competing for a spot with ucd and ucb grads, and the cost of attendance is crazy expensive. You might want to check with other threads about their rep...

It's a good thing a lot of nursing schools don't look at organic chemistry grades. Otherwise, I'd be in a lot of trouble!

Mamba, I get where you're coming from. Believe me, I was in a similar situation where my GPA from the University of California is being compared with people having science courses taken at a cc (i have no beef with cc. in fact, i love them!). Luckily...

That would be terrific! Let me send you a PM

I'm not too sure. My friend went to the University for her interview so I'm taking her word on how gorgeous and nice the school is. I've been looking for apartments on craigslist, but we haven't quite settled on a move-in date. When were you planning...

I think you're right. It's the last week of August, but we'll probably need to be on campus sooner for the orientation. I studied animal science with an emphasis on companion animal care and behavior. I wanted to go to vet school, but became more int...

Yay! I'm so happy you've decided on Samford! My friend and I are going too. Bummer about the other school, but I think you're making the better choice here

Moorpark, woodland, and los rios cc in california offer it.

45K, that's actually a reasonable price for a BSN. I have a friend that had to take out 90K in loans to go to an absn program in san fran. Now, that's scary!

It's actually pretty standard and smart to have your insurance. For only $30, that's a whole lot of peace of mind!

Any news about other schools? Still hoping Samford is your favorite!

I love Jacks! It's hilarious.

Look into ambulatory nursing. It seems like it would be a good alternative. Not only to please yourself, but your parents too. I know how hard it is find some happy medium between your wants and your parents, but having a bachelors degree in today's ...

Look into private lending if you can't find any scholarships

Go anonymous. Unfortunately, that's a really serious offense. At my school, that is considered a valid reason for expulsion.

Moorpark cc and Woodland cc. Both are in California and are offered online and in person. Patho does require Anat and Physio as pre-reqs

The grade might be replaced GPA-wise, but your F will still be visible. An F won't get you into nursing school.

for private loans, try to have a stellar record for at least 6 months. Pay everything on time! also, look into getting a co-signer

Fortunately, I got accepted to a few of nursing programs and now, I have to decide which one I really want to go to. After a lot of heartache and number crunching, my decision is really between 2 schools. One starts in May. It's the more affordable s...

Yay I'm glad Samford is a top choice for you. It's mine as well! When you get the chance, let's exchange emails/numbers!? I need to make my decision soon. I have to pay for the other school by the end of this month.

Hey there I'm a UCD alumni! I got accepted into an accelerated BSN program and my grades weren't nearly as great as yours! Keep up the good work and I think you'll have a great chance of getting in!

Oh and the skype thing was strange, but the interview wasn't :)

Sorry for the delay, but good news! My friend and I both got accepted! I really hope you decide to come to Samford! It would be great to finally meet you and start our future as nurses!!!

Hi there!! Interview went great *phew* but I still haven't heard back from the school. It's kinda freaking me out! I think there might have been some concern with the pre-reqs I still have left-research and religion. I'm taking patho now (hate that c...

Are you entering Salisbury to increase your chances of getting into the nursing program? It's a risky move that can pay off, but with your course work at the University level-Patho, Chem, Micro you may not pull off the grades you need to get into the...
