Sorry to hear that! I know quite a few people who were waitlisted at MCPHS, MGHIHP and some other programs and they all eventually got in. I know you were wanting to start soon though so I hope you get in to QC!! I haven't heard anything yet. I am so eager to find out if I got in or not. Last week I had an opportunity presented to me at work that I am seriously considering, but if I do it I will not be able to attend school as well. So if I don't get in, I guess the decision will be made for me. Let me know if you hear anything!

Well 2 weeks would be nice! Keep me posted if you get your letter. Good luck with the ACCEL program, I hope you get in! Does that start in January as well? I am really jealous as I would love to finish the BSN in 16 months. I live in Boston, and it seems like hospitals in the city don't even consider you without a BSN. I hear you, I am getting married next Setptember and kids are absolutely on my mind in the next few years (sooner rather than later, haha) so that is definitely an issue for me as well.

I took A&P 1 and 2 as well as Chem at QC a while back. From everything I have heard, it is a quality program. 100% of the graduating class last year passed the NCLEX, so that is encouraging. I did pretty well but I have to say I was a little embarrassed by my math score (99). Apparently I need to go back and review my grade school math. I guess I'm too dependant on a calculator! Hopefully my reading and sentence scores make up for it (113 and 120). Considering the passing score is a 75 (I think) and the max is 120, I would think anything in the 100s would be good enough. But who knows. I wonder how many spots they have vs how many applications submitted? I also have a Bachelor's and my plan is to go on to a RN-BSN program after this. (Assuming I get in!) Did you consider any of the accelerated programs in the area? I would have loved to, but I have to work full time while I do this, so it isn't really an option right now.

Yay! I was hoping there were some other people on here! I have to say that I am glad that they extended the deadline because I didn't apply until after the original one! :) I was dragging my feet on what I wanted to do, but I finally just did it! I haven't heard anything yet. When I applied, the girl who took my application said "mid-fall" and then the letter that I got confirming my application said "4-6 weeks after the deadline", which would be the first week in October. I am really anxious to find out! How did your Accuplacer go? Have you taken classes at QC before?

Anyone else on here applied to the QC pt program starting in January?

i agree with this advice as well, but it is not for everyone. in my case, i have looked many excellent bsn and mn programs for people who have unrelated bachelor's degrees. i would love nothing more than to be applying to one of these programs, but they required a full time commitment to school. right now, i just can't afford not to work so i am starting a part time adn program now and entering an rn- bsn program down the road. it's the best i can do right now, and i am not going to let the fact that it is a longer road deter me from getting there! that being said, if you have the time and the ability to do one of these types of programs- do it, i wish i could! :)
