KhiaMarie, You absolutely can take your pre-reqs in January, and then test in September for the evening. It is exactly what i did. Pre reqs are Bio 121, Eng 101 amd Chem 101 or 103. I am actually taking Soc 101 right now. I have alreay taken Psy 101 and Math 100 is not a pre req (although i have taken it). If you plan on getting into the program be sure to do exceptionally in you pre reqs as well as on the exam. As LapoRtan said, you will get better info from the Nursing Dept or Blue area. Check out the link below for more info: http://www.essex.edu/divisions/nursing/pdf/RN_Admission%20Criteria%202011%20(Rev%20May2010).pdf

Be sure to know your sciences...again. Be sure to know your sciences, read lots of books and enhance your vocabulary. ISBN-13: 978-0763762711 is a must have; it is the NLN Pre-entrance exam study guide. Know, know know your math...amongst other section. "English from the Roots Up Flashcards" might also breaking down words. If you know the study guide, you should do very well. Study extensively and thoroughly and take all the tests that are inside of the book. Learn from your mistakes.

Thank you father in heaven!!!! I got my acceptance letter!! I am in the program! :dncgbby:

lapoRtaN, Hypothetically Speaking, If by chance i do get accepted, what do you think about taking NUR I and Micro together? I was told by a counselor not to take them at the same time, but this counselor also told me not to take Bio 121 and Chm 101 at the same time, but i ended up getting an A in both. I'm just not sure about the challenges of Nursing classes.

OMG.....i just want to run home and check the mail but i cannot. Has anyone received a letter yet...i am so scared.

Applicants, Essex has begun mailing letters.... I have not had the opportunity to check my mail yet but folks have started receiving letters. Good Luck to all!

I just hope we get in....

So, i guess that means we should give it until the last week of November. I was hoping to know by Thanksgiving. I guess we will just have to be patient.

Anyone know when letters are being mailed out? The wait is killing me!! :anbd:

I have not heard anything....give it a couple of weeks. We should know something by Thanksgiving atleast. :)

YKN6000, I can understand how you might not feel very confident. I don't think that anyone can truly feel confident until they've received the letter informing them that they were accepted. Ultimately, that is what we are looking to receive. Try to keep positive thoughts... YKN6000 we are all in the same boat at this point. Best of luck to you!

I have a couple of people in one of my classes that are scheduled to take the test on Monday 10/31... Last week, they opened up more test dates for this week and Monday, then a couple of folks went and changed their date to this upcoming Monday. I was thinking that the process would be delayed...I hope that it does not.

Thanks Miracle! I hope you are right! I know that people are still testing this week and next week...I can't wait for those letters to go out. Another counselor that i spoke with told me that they would be accepting more applicants this time around too.

YKN6000, It seems that you are probing to find out how everyone else did but you are hiding your results... Thats fine though...Wish you the best! Good Luck to all those awaiting acceptance letters.
