I got in too :) congrats guys!

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing that. I think many people have a misconcepton of how their career with ACTUALLY be. Its not always pick your own hours, make great money.

I think there is a little wiggle room with grades but honestly not much. I had a 47 on my essay last yr with a total score of 357 and I was not offered a spot or an alternate. I know someone who had one point more than me and they were an alternate and eventually offered a spot. Needless to say I was devestated to miss a spot by one point! They may go lower this yr. There is no way to tell. I wish you all good luck :)

Yes, it was someone in the nursing office. I had just asked if there was a date set for letters to go out. They said not specifically, but that it would be in June. :)

YES!!! I am trying so hard to be patient and not think about it, but it is impossible! I was hoping we would hear back a little early, but they said it is still set to be June.... :/

I think there is definately hope! Thanks for all the info; its great to hear promising news when we are all just waiting helplessly. It is out of our hands now. We can just hope we have done enough. Best case.. we all get in! :)

I got a 50/50 on the essay... total score of 360! Yay. Good luck to everyone and now we wait again!

My email notifications are sent directly to my phone so as soon as I saw the e mail they were ready, I checked and was not able to view them. I immediately called the nursing dept, they put me on hold for about 5 min and then said thanks for notifying them. It seemed there was an issue with the system. About 5 min later, I got the 2nd e mail. I am dying to know!! That incident only made it worse!

How awesome already having an acceptance letter! I am hoping for some good news SOON!

Fingers crossed! :)

Really?! That is good news. I heard last year there were a lot more...

Hmm my letter only mentioned that there would be one essay day. I took it the 13th.

Have you heard how many applicants there were this yr?

I am anxiously awaiting my final scores for the application process. The wait is downright painful! Anyone else waiting to hear from them??

Thank you very much! I have not had the opportunity to talk to any of the people who rated our essays. I think you are probably dead on about the way it was done. I will be trying again next month and thank you again for your advice.

Yes. Our nursing advisor said everyone who was accepted had a perfect score on both portions. She said there were 320 applicants for 48 spots! It is so discouraging to miss 2 pts and it still is not good enough. Hopefully this year I will have that little something extra they are looking for. Thank you for your comments.

I have a 4.0 for all pre nursing classes. They don't count other classes, but my cumulative gpa is 3.76

It is a 2 yr program

It breaks it down for us... class grades worth 310 and an essay worth 50. I had gotten a 48 on the essay portion and 310 for grades.

I have applied to nursing school 2 years in a row now and have fallen short a couple points in the essay portion each time. The first year I received a 46/50 and last year a 48/50. I have full points based on my grades for that part of the application. The total points possible are 360, 310 based on grades and another 50 for the essay. The students with the highest scores are admitted. Last year my score was 358/360 and I was not accepted. I am feeling so anxious about applying this year and not getting a perfect score again. Does anyone who had to write an essay for their application process have any advice?? It is just so hard to know how someone is going to view your paper. They don't let us know what we were marked down for so I am just hoping I can put together a flawless essay this year. Any advised is appreciated. Thank you
