  1. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    We are right here with you guys!!! Hang in there during your looong 2 week wait!
  2. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jen- I was at a church thing last night and had the chance to talk to a 20 yr nursing veteran. I was telling her about the different programs hoping to get her perspective on nursing school and which...
  3. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    At the infosession at MGH I got the impression that all first year RN clinicals are at MGH. It is only in the advanced practice part of the program that students have assignments to different...
  4. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    The rankings are on US News and World Report's website. You do have to pay to see the full listing though. I can email the top 200 to you if you want. Just post or pm your email address.
  5. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I have Organic and Micro left. I will probably do Micro at Mass Bay or Bunker Hill. Organic is trickier. Most true orgo classes have a prereq themselves of general chemistry (which I haven't taken...
  6. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Wow- that is so cool! I wish my schools did something like that- what a huge help to prospective students!
  7. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I think I'll be making my decision based on what I already know of the schools. At this point, I don't think either of the ones I'm considering are going to give the opportunity to get much more...
  8. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Huh. That's dissapointing. I've emailed BC twice with a question about pre requs I'll have to do this summer and no response. What's WITH these schools?! I think they think that they have done...
  9. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    That's great CAG, that you are looking at all the variables involved. When you are going back to school to change careers, there is a significant opportunity cost to doing so. Your time is valuable...
  10. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Darn it! CAG- I'm so sad/annoyed/confused on your behalf! You seem to be taking it very well- and Smile is right- you have an excellent chance of getting off the waitlist. I am going to send my...
  11. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Hey Jen- Have you thought any more about which program you're leaning towards? Any visits planned? I may try to go to BC this week or next. And CAG- any word yet?! :)
  12. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Regis is 3/29 and they want 150. BC is 4/9 and 400. I'll probably decide for sure next week and mail my money in. I should mail in the MGH decline this week though, I guess. Maybe it will free up...
  13. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    He'll probably go to Regis. He's waiting to hear back from Northeastern in April, but I think he prefers Regis' program. I'm still leaning toward BC- though I'm still considering Regis. MGH is out...
  14. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    My friend who got got into Regis, but negged from BC heard from MGH on Sat- and was waitlisted. He was applying for the Psych/Mental Health track. I think we only have CAG waiting to hear back from...
  15. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Diana I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and your family. I'll keep you guys in my prayers.
  16. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Thanks Laura- I wrote out the academic schedules for both schools (Regis and BC) and other than one is afternoons/evenings and one is mornings, the difference in childcare I'd have to use is an hour...
  17. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I PMed you..
  18. Direct Entry Programs: MGH or BC

    Celine- Thanks for the info. I'm leaning heavily toward BC- partly because for me it would be the least expensive of the three schools I got into. I also like the fact that taking a LOA isn't a big...
  19. HI- I just sent in my applications to BC and MGH's Direct entry programs. I'd love some speculation on what my chances might be. I had a 3.5 gpa with a BA in lit back in '96. I've done statistics,...
  20. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    :balloons: :) :yelclap: Yay Diana!!! I told you so!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
  21. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Just checked US News- BC is ranked 19th and MGH is ranked 99th. Regis actually made it onto the national rankings- coming in at 251. I basically think that these rankings are a popularity contest-...
  22. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Good luck Diana! I'll have my fingers crossed for you!
  23. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Yup- those are the numbers. BC is ranked higher, I think it is in the top 25 on the US News listing, but really I think BC and MGH are comparable. Anyone else have opinions on thier relative...
  24. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    not waiting for the mail like a lunatic! :rotfl: My hubby and I did a detailed pro/con and cost speradsheet last night to compare the three programs. If you factor in the cost of childcare, BC is...
  25. Direct Entry Programs: MGH or BC
