  2. UMSON Fall 2014

    Mine has been complete and ready for review since they rolled my application over from the fall application cycle (when I was wait-listed). I think the group of applicants last semester figured out...
  3. UMSON Fall 2014

    Our applications were due Sept. 15 and I believe 1st round of calls went out Nov. 1st. I'd imagine they'll stick with that time frame
  4. I recently applied to this program as well. AACC does have rolling admissions which mean given minimum scores (2.5 or 3.0 GPA and proficient TEAS) everyone gets in. I asked the woman I dropped the...
  5. UMSON Fall 2014

    Many of the questions here have been addressed in previous cycles threads. After the deadline for applications passes it seems to take 1.5 to 2 months to hear back. For spring applications were due...
  6. UMSON Fall 2014

    lrr9 I also (idealistically) only applied for UMSON last semester. Don't shy away from other programs, take it from me, while it would be wonderful if you got in, it sure does suck not to have a back...
  7. A&P in the summer

    I took A&P II in a 6 week summer session and I wish I'd taken "A&P I" like that! I did really well because I was so focused on not getting behind
  8. Math Challenged

    Knw so happy for you! Keeping my fingers crossed for a call
  13. Note Taking??

    I don't take notes in class (unless it's a math class.) I focus entirely on listening to the lecture and record the lecture as well. Then at home I listen to the lecture again and jot down a few...
  14. I did it, you can too! Up until last semester I worked full time while taking 12-15 credits. It's a balancing act, but with a good attitude and schedule that you can stick to you'll get into a groove...
  15. Is 22 credit hours a semester too much?

    I wouldn't take the CNA course with that heavy of a
  16. Is this too much money to pay for pre-reqs?

    I personal wouldn't pay for classes that aren't explicitly requested by your program of choice. Unless for personal enrichment. My CC ( I take spring, summer, fall and winter classes every year) evens...

  19. Statistics

    Seriously, statistics was a cakewalk compared to my college algebra, finite math and calc classes. It was all just plugging in numbers to equations, I enjoyed it and made an A with little effort. I...
  20. Is a 'B' in A&P a deal breaker

    Depends on the competitiveness of nursing schools in your area. Some schools look at the applicant holistically so a B wouldnt blow your
  21. This Is My Goal

    I also started school a bit later (22). I worked full time in a service industry while doing my 1st year and a half of pre reqs. I ended up leaving my job this semester so I could take more classes...
  22. Whats my next step after I get my GED?

    Well you are way ahead of the curve getting started thinking about the future so early. I also tested for my GED and it hasn't caused me any issues. I went to community college and did 2 years of pre...

  24. Do you ever get so overwhelmed?

    OP, you are not alone! I have had to overcome so many obstacles to get where I am in my academic career. Issues arising in my personal life, work demands, financial aid setbacks. All of these factors...
  25. A&P textbook in hardcover or loose leaf?

    I prefered tthe loose leaf so I could carry around a few chapters instead of the whole book. Since I planned on keeping my book the fact that I couldn't resell it wasnt a big
