Thanks hereicome!

I'm a 2nd degree student. I am so glad that someone posted that organic chemistry was way better than the first one!! I still need to figure out where I am taking it along with statistics. :/

creece15-- I got my acceptance "packet" today and -- what a let down!! I see what you were saying! Lol.

Lol!! I was totally expecting every piece of information I ever needed in that "packet"!!! Oh well, thanks for letting me know. Guess I'll be calling the admissions office everytime I have a question.

I did take the first chem with a lab online. (It was complicated and the program was constantly breaking so I wouldn't suggest an online chemistry.) I guess I was asking because I couldn't imagine doing an organic lab online. I am hoping my packet comes in the mail tomorrow so some of my questions will be answered! I thought it would be here by now since I am only in Gainesville.

So, does the Organic Chem need a lab with it?

Shiningstar: I was hoping to hear that about Statistics. I've always been pretty good at math and problem solving. Too bad about organic! Hopefully it will get better. Scout: It is good to hear that organic was completely different, because the first chemistry was horrible. As for having a good attitude, I completely agree--it can make all the difference in the world. As for the studying part, I don't mind as long as it pays off in the end.

Has everyone taken statistics? How bad is it? I have statistics and organic chemistry left to take. I know organic chemistry is going to suck because I just barely squeaked by with a B in the regular chemistry class.

oaktown2: I also went to an Experience Emory session and just seeing the school was inspiration for really writing a great essay. Everyone was so friendly and informative. The students I spoke with were so knowledgeable and seemed to really be proud and happy to be Emory students. I was also impressed with the simulation lab. Also, Emory is connected to so many hospitals which only opens doors after completing the degree. Also, I think the program is ranked #26 in the country...not too bad.

I haven't actually received my acceptance letter in the mail (just saw it on Opus), although I have checked the mail eagerly everyday. Hopefully, it will come today. That's good about the TEAS then. I definitely like the idea of the program being customized for me. I think I made an 88 on it. CHANCES is still an option and I think there is a federal nursing tuition reimbursement program that you might have to specifically ask for (from reading an old thread on here. I'm so excited!!!

When did they add the TEAS scores? I looked on the website after reading that on the last thread and I couldn't find anything about it. I took the TEAS in December. My score was alright (I had exams that week and only studied the day before--oops), but it's not as if our acceptance will be retracted if the score isn't high enough. It is funny to see the faces when people find out how expensive Emory is to attend. I think it's completely worth the price though. I went to see the school last fall and was blown away by everything I saw.

Hey Shiningstar05: Thanks for starting this thread! What a good idea! I was thrilled to get accepted, but I am a little nervous about the money part. When I was researching the average amount of grants/scholarships given out, the site said the average was around $28,000 (I think it was on a USNews website.). I think this is promising. I called the admissions office today to ask some questions and they said that financial aid rewards would be sent out mid to late March. Claudia

stars: I think you can call the IT desk and get it set up. I haven't done that yet though.

Mavejoy: you send them a copy of your tax returns. (or I guess your parent's tax returns if you're a dependent.)

@stars You got a call from Katie? I haven't gotten a call! I'm a little jealous! Looking forward to meeting everyone. I don't think the good news has actually sunken in yet!
