Sweet lime, I know this was a while back but ... I was wondering, do you remember when St Francis offered you a seat for fall? I've been accepted into the spring 2012 semester, and Ill be done with my pre-reqs in May... I would love to start in Fall :)

Smokey- no, organic chem isn't the same as intro chem. i've heard it's a pretty awful class. OSF is a medical center college and it's in Peoria, IL.. 2.5 hrs from Chicago. Good luck!!! Kate- i know! it's crazy how far ahead they are! i saw an older post about someone accepted into spring that right before fall, the school asked her if she would like to start early. that would really be awesome! i won't be living on campus, i'm gonna get an apt. Chi Town- i took anatomy at C.O.D! that's a really nice school!

K girl, aw.. i was hoping i could change your mind haha. No, but really, that's a real good idea. Muchh cheaper:) ICC does their clinicals at OSF too! About the loans, I heard it's 12000 max, but I could be wrong. I could let you know once I found out at the Open House. I did get accepted for the Spring 2012 term, which isn't great, but I plan to work full-time and save up from May-December. I told them to hold my spot and I plan to go...unless I hate it when i visit Congrats on the job resignation & good luck finding a job!! I need to find one too, either that area or Chicago. Let me know if you find anything! Are you still taking your pre-reqs? Smokey & ChiTownHopeful, I applied to Resurrection University/West Suburban College of Nursing in Oak Park.. There aren't very good things posted about that school on here.. I would have applied to more in the area but I didn't take Organic Chem, which is required at a lot of places. where did you apply Smokey ? What community college are you going to ChiTown?

I just got my acceptance letter to OSF too!!! :) That really surprised me, considering I thought it would be harder to get into over Methodist.. I'm pretty sure I'll be going there.. I'm gonna go to the open house April 9th. I also applied to a school in Chicago and still haven't heard back, but I don't think I'll be going there. Do you know about OSF's loan forgiveness plan? If you commit to working there for 3 years, I think they will basically pay $12,000 of your loans.. just something to consider, if money is the reason you don't want to go there. I believe they have to select you though, after your first semester.

Hi K_girl, Congrats on your acceptances!!! I've also applied to Methodist College of Nursing & OSF in Peoria and I'm waitlisted for Methodist :/ If you don't mind me asking, what is your GPA? Any info would be helpful! Good luck!! :)
