This was my first time applying to Gateway as well. I also applied to Bridgeport Hospital, but Gateway is more convenient and I have heard great things about their program lately! We will be in downtown New Haven in the new building. I believe they said the 4th floor will be the nursing school. I don't know anything about the books yet. What is your background? Have you been taking the pre-reqs and co-reqs at Gateway? I just finished up the last of mine, so I did request to be switched to the fall semester, just waiting to hear on that. Very excited to get started! Another classmate/friend of mine was accepted as a spring start with us as well. I am 43, have 3 kids, one leaving for college, so this will be a second career for me. Something I have always wanted to do. I worked as a postpartum doula, so if I don't get switched to the fall, I am going to continue with that and do some training in labor and delivery until January. Keep in touch with any information that you find out and I will do the same. Congrats!!! Gateway is VERY difficult to get into! :)

Gateway acceptances..Just started a new thread for us to communicate specifically for our program under "anyone accepted to GWCC for fall 2012 or spring 2013?" Jump on and let us know who you are so we can keep in touch. Thanks!

Congrats! I was accepted for the spring 2013 and I am wait listed to switch to the fall if possible. One of my classmates as well. All we have heard so far is an e-mail saying secure your seat by returning your acceptance letter and then information will follow. So glad that you found my post. Hoping others will soon! Let me know if you hear anything, and I will do the same.

Hi, Just wanted to start a thread for all of the people accepted to Gateway Community College, Connecticut for the fall 2012 or spring 2013! Introduce yourself!

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted and boosts of encouragement to continue on for those who have been wait listed or need to spend another year preparing themselves for another try. Any time that you spend over the next year will only make your foundation stronger for acceptance next year. Big hugs to you! I have been accepted for the Spring 2013 at Gateway and at BHSN. I have heard fantastic things about both schools. Lately, I have heard so many great things from people in the medical community about the nurses that Gateway is educating. This is the school that would be closest for me. If anyone has any type of argument for one school vs. the other, I would love to hear your thoughts. Looking forward to meeting all of my classmates!

Hi Everyone! Since most people are getting their letters from the Connecticut Community Colleges today, I would love to ask for wisdom as to choosing which program to attend if you were accepted to Bridgeport Hospital as well. Do graduating students seem to be better prepared from one or the other, and does anyone know how employers look upon them? Anything that you could add that you might think pertinent would be much appreciated...I am sure, by many! Thanks
