    Amymit, I was a Fresh Start applicant. My (not so successful) 1st attempt at college was 1997-2001. Mostly C's and a few D's. Around 2003 I got my you-know-what in gear, finished my degree in February...

  15. Politics? I need your help if you get it... cause i don't!

    rocket surgery replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    At this point, the bill is still in committee and it's nowhere near being voted on. There aren't going to be any easy answers to questions 1-3 because all those issues are exactly what's being...

    Chunky, it was almost a month for me. I think it was a similar amount of time for the other people who posted on our AN thread. It might be shorter for you since the SON is only working on your class....

    Sara, they do recruiting events all year and they aren't specific to the incoming class. My guess is they're targeting 2nd degree Bacc2 students or the Fall 2012

    Technically, that's for the Master's program, but that's what they told all of us in the BSN program- top 5%, top 20, etc. AFAIK, the faculty for the BSN program and the Master's program are the same....

    Katy, are you still taking your prereqs? That's the only reason your admission file would be incomplete- because they haven't received your final transcript. If UTLink shows a reasonable GPA, and...
