Just be yourself. The interview is more of a conversation than an interview. They are just trying to make sure you are a good fit for Rush and for a career in nursing. So come armed with questions for your interviewer and be able to tell them why you...

kwal & KrystleNicole same here!! I'm guaranteed a spot in the May cohort and am #13 on the wait list for January. What # are you guys on the wait list? Still, I'm SOOOO excited! Rush it is! Congrats everyone!

Sadie, my last letter of recommendation was submitted on 9/11, and I got my letter of acceptance on 9/29. So it took 18 days.... you have time! It's a pretty quick turn around, all things considered. Best of luck to you!

Awesome. So soon yet so far away! Fingers crossed!

Do you guys recall when we should hear back from Rush? Friday, October 3rd? Is that right?

I just got my acceptance letter! Woot! Admission is rolling, so people should be hearing soon....

Does anyone know what the academic calendar looks like? DePaul is on the quarter system right? So when do the quarters start and end and how long do we get off between each quarter?

Thank you, gennabee! This is really helpful.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, I called the school and was told that by submitting your intent to enroll you are basically just reserving your spot, not agreeing to pay a deposit or anything, not yet at least!

Is anyone else concerned about DePaul's grading scale? I am! An A is a 96-100 and an A- is a 93-95. I think I want to pursue an advanced practice specialty degree afterwards and am concerned that my GPA will be destroyed if I attend DePaul. My GPA is...

I am going to the First Look. I scheduled my interview for September, too, but have no clue what kinds of questions they might ask. Does anyone know? Where might I find practice/sample questions? How are you all approaching the interview?

I received my acceptance packet in the mail yesterday! I applied to the Lincoln Park campus. I still have to complete organic chem this fall. And still waiting to hear from Rush and Loyola.... I'm still torn about MSN vs. BSN.

I hope this is real and that I was actually accepted. This morning, there is a new welcome message on my campus connect saying "Congratulations on your acceptance to DePaul's College of Science and Health." There is also an intent to enroll form and ...

I thought they were going to send decisions by snail mail. Is that not true? I didn't receive an email about Campus Connect either. I applied by the priority deadline. Where else is everyone applying?

I think it's possible to get your bsn without having gotten an associates degree first. Might save you some time and money, but will probably depend on the specific program costs.

Yeah, I found the Lori Garrett book on Chegg. Love Chegg. I'm in the same A&P boat, and couldn't be more excited and nervous! Our prof gave us a booklet of handouts to supplement the text with activities to reinforce what we learn, etc. So far so...

So, I had my first A&P I class last night and the teacher gave us a 1 hr, 100-question test to test our knowledge of the prerequisite biology courses, which counts for extra credit. I got an A in Human Biology at Harold Washington College in Chic...

HouTX, I am sure you are right about that. I hadn't considered that the teacher would give us the assesment to est. a base line for how to teach/approach the class according to students previous knowledge. I hadnt thought of it that way before but it...

Thanks zoe92. I guess it's just the physiology part I'm worried about without having as detailed a cellular background as the other students. I will definitely be studying my butt off. The good thing is I *might* have a leg up on the basics of A&...

I'm trying to decide where to take A&P I/II for ABSN/MSN prereqs in the Chicago area. I'm thinking either Oakton CC in Des Plaines or Harold Washington College in Chicago. I hear the Oakton class is really hard. I would need to take it on Saturda...

Hi, I want to apply to accelerated BSN programs in Illinois/Chicago area and am wondering if taking the science/math prerequisites at a community college (maybe one of the City Colleges of Chicago) will negatively impact my chances of being accepted ...

Thank you all for your comments. I have decided to take prerequisites at Harold Washington College in the loop to start but have also heard good things about Oakton. Thanks again for your advice!
