   Haha I am #10 on the wait list. I am hoping they go through at least half their waitlist this year. Guess I just have to wait and see. Do you know how they will let us know if a space opens up? Do you...

    buckeyepaige replied to saturn90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The good news is, since you only have 11 credit hours, you still have a chance to get your GPA up! I would make sure you get As in your pre-reqs, and if you have time, squeeze in some fluff courses...
