  1. True- do your research. We bought our house in '02 and (based on the seeling price of similar homes on the market now) it would sell for about 20% more than we paid for it. I'd say it was pretty...
  2. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    LOL I thought the same thing! But I think the reference was to University of Portland which is a Catholic school...
  3. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I don't know a lot about Yale- and didn't apply there because we wouldn't move anyway because of my husband's job. A friend of ours from my husband's undergrad went there and she was not happy with...
  4. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I didn't apply to Northeastern- but a friend of mine did- and was accepted. He did interview there. He asked at the interview and they told him this year they interviewed less than 1/2 of the...
  5. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Congrats Kim!! That's great news about Regis! Fingers crossed you'll hear from MGH too and then you can choose between them. Even if you don't though, Regis is a great program and I'm sure you'd...
  6. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Kris- Big congrats on your acceptance to MGH!! That's great news! I think if you are planning on living/working in the Boston area after graduation - it is certainly the school to pick- with all of...
  7. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I totally agree. Unless you are really sure your classes will transfer and you would be able to enter UCSF as a second-year - I'd say it's too expensive (and time consuming) to be a good option. Is...
  8. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Congratulations you guys!!! I'm so happy for both of you!! I have no doubt you will ace your interviews too- you are on your way!!!
  9. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Huh- I wouldn't think that regular mail would be the best way to inform about being selected for an interview. I bet it's an email or a phone call. I don't know- because only one of my schools...
  10. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    James- :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: Good for you! I'm so happy for you!! That is great news- thanks for sharing!
  11. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Oh you guys! I SO remember the final days of this agonizing letter wait! Fortunately, you are both local Chicago area, right? So there shouldn't be much of a mail delay once they are sent out. Hang...
  12. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    That's cool! I started in 92- so we would have just missed each other. Wow- you're a marathoner! That's awesome. Isn't the Boston Marathon one of the tougher ones too?
  13. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Kim- Are you taking A&P with Dr Gonnerman at Mass Bay? I took both A&P 1 and 2 there with him. I'm taking Micro there this summer. Who is teaching your section?
  14. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Hi Kim- No problem- I went to Providence College undergrad- and graduated waaaay back in '96. I was an English major/3.5 GPA. I worked as a recruiter and HR Manager in my 20s and then left after my...
  15. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I loved Regis' program and am kind of bummed I'm not going there. I think the pre- RN piece is excellent- with more than double the clinical hours than similar direct entry programs in this area. I...
  16. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Hi Kim- I applied to MGH, Regis and BC and just sent my acceptance into BC (gulp!) What specialty did you apply for? I know MGH pulls from the waitlist based on specialty. Regis I'm not so sure....
  17. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Gen- Thinking of you and hoping that you don't have too long to wait!! It must be so hard to have seen the flurry of acceptances, waitlists, etc on the list 3 weeks ago while being in somewhat of a...
  18. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    That's a good idea to call them- but really because of the length of the programs it would have to be a huge financial aid grant to make it worthwhile when considering the extra cost of childcare for...
  19. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I haven't yet- but probably will this week. I don't know what I'm holding off on- but I just havent been able to bring myself to send in my turndown/acceptance letters. Cold feet I guess? :chuckle...
  20. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Yay! Congrats Jen- you will love it there! Wow- I didn't know it started so early!! Is that when the science summer starts?
  21. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Unless something pretty dramatic happens in the next week (like MGH calling me to let me know I have a full scholarship! ) I'm 95% sure I'm going to BC.
  22. 2 y old bruising

    HI- I am a pre-nursing student accepted into a direct entry Master's program for the fall. I have a 2 yr old- ususally very healthy but has been bruising more than often over the past month. She has...
  23. 2 y old bruising

    Didi- Thanks for your response. I'll call my ped and take her into the ER first thing in the morning. She's sleeping now and I'll let her rest. I've done a few web searches on ITP and it sounds...
  24. 2 y old bruising

    You know, now that I think about it- at the end of her cold/earache which may have been flu- it lasted about a week and a half- she had a 24 hour stomach flu. I forgot about it because it resolved so...
  25. 2 y old bruising

    Wow- ok, now I'm even more worried. My husband thinks I'm a worry wart and thinks the bruising is from rough housing with him when he gets home from work. I just don't think that would account for...
