Check your emails... Just got the acceptance!

Didnt they say we were supposed to hear by Monday? haha

Hey Dea... congrats on getting everything submitted.. so I called to see what I needed... does this sound right... SAP appeals form Statement of why we need financial aid.... then take these to advisement where they give you a degree audit and and IEP then take that to the financial aid office and sit back and wait... Thats what the guy told me... is this what you did? Also on the sap appeals form... it asked for supporting documentation... I am in the same boat as you with too many credits.. did you submit any supporting documents besides the ones previously listed? Thanks for your help!

Honestly, I really didnt know what to expect going in to this test... but after a couple questions, they reminded me of LSAT type questions... so I just used my strategy from that. I honestly didn't take any classes for it or anything like that, just got lucky I guess. As you progress through the program, I am sure you will get better so dont stress now. Step one is to learn the material. Once you have that taken care of, you will have the tools you need to think thoroughly about questions and answer them accordingly.

Same as pixiemom, I had a few friends in law school and when they were studying for the LSAT I always looked through some practice questions. The best advice I got was to look at the question and use the information. Don't use any outside assumptions and just strictly use the information obtained in the question. The hardest part about the critical thinking is to go into the test or approach the questions without your typical day to day assumptions and the way things are supposed to be done... for example we all know that running a red light is bad, but if the question doesn't say or infere that, then you can not assume that running a red light is bad... its a bad example, but gives a general idea of my point. I guess the best thing to do is approach any critical thinking question with a clear and open mind, know all of the detail from the question, and make a decision. It's easier said than done, but with practice, you will get better. I ended up with a composite score in the 90's so Im assuming I did something right. Class starts soon... anyone nervous? Also, has anyone had to go through the SAP process for financial aid?

The book store has great shoes and they are a fair price... I got an email today saying that I was not cleared off for my background check... i got a copy in my email... pretty boring... everything was a pass... no problems... wonder what could be up?!

They actully sent the email on the 6th (wed) at noon and the survey closed two days later (fri) at 9 am. I checked my email at the last minute and found it at like 11pm on Thursday, so I didn't get my first or second choice, but some people didn't check at all and didnt get to choose. I think generic might be different though, I'm not 100% sure.

So for the A/O. We received a survey in our email the week before orientation where we had to rank our choice of clinicals... By Monday at orientation, we were told that we were already registered for the fall term and that they tried to give everyone their first choice and they went by the time stamp of when we submitted the survey. Some people didn't check their email in time and were placed automatically. So shirt answer.... The registered for us.

Has anyone heard anything from financial aid?

Anyone taking CPR/bls at the homestead campus on 7/9? The initial CPR wasn't offered at med campus for that day

I'm not sure what my gpa was cause I haven't seen the evaluated transcripts, but is around 3.4ish... My teas was 89.9. ... I had a lot of transcript issues though :/

Hey... Just got an email.. I got in to the accelerated program!! Got my email 13 minutes ago.

So I had transcript problems only because I submitted it while finishing one class(which was not a pre req) so the policy of the school is they will not evaluate a transcript if it is incomplete. If the deadline for next fall is May 1st again and all of your classes are complete by the time you send a transcript, it shouldn't be a problem. However, in order to make the deadline, you have to send a transcript far in advance as possible, so if you will still be finishing by say, early April, I'd say talk to one of the directors.

Anyone hear anything yet today??

Can you choose to be placed at a different campus? What if there is no room left? I can't imagine that they can accommodate everyone's request to change campuses no?
