Hey Everyone, I am excited to say that I too received a letter today in the mail! I'm in! I had spoken with an advisor yesterday who informed me that letters went in the mail on monday. Depending on where you live, I assume you should here back either today or tomorrow? I'm looking forward to a very fast year at NAU! Go Lumberjacks?

Hello all, Previously I had posted that a student (on another post) stated that they had received their acceptance into the 2014 summer nursing program. That was incorrect. An advisor at NAU clarified that the student had most likely mis-interpreted their acceptance to the "school" as their acceptance to the "program." After getting a related letter from the undergraduate office of NAU, I could see how that could be confusing. The advisor stated the same 6-8 week period as mentioned by others. So... hopefully good news comes soon!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. It sounds like some students (as of 1/29/14) have already been accepted into the program. I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm hoping for the best. I'll let ya'll know if I hear back from them soon. Good luck everyone!

tzacks: Congrats on your acceptance to NAU!! I applied to the program as well but haven't received a call... yet. If you don't mind me asking, what was your pre-req GPA and kaplan score? I applied with a pre-req GPA of 4.0 and kaplan of 87. I hope to hear from them soon!! rohrer88: I bought the kaplan nursing entrance exam book, but found that it was pretty limited in what it could offer. The exam is 4 parts: Reading Comprehension, Math, Grammar, and Science. For the RC section, the Kaplan book was a pretty good representation of what you'll see on the exam. The math is ALL decimals, fractions, and percentages. If you know how to add/subtract/multiply/divide fractions, you'll be able to answer the majority of the math problems fairly easily. The grammar section was tough. If I were you, studying from an old SAT book would probably be your best bet. Knowing which sentences are repetitive, which contain incorrect verbs, etc.. As far as Science, the questions are pretty specific. It's all based off A&P. There aren't any biology, chemistry, or physics questions... at least not on my exam. Hope that helps. Good Luck!!

Now that the applications have been submitted and the deadline has passed, the wait begins. As I understand it, NAU accepts 30 students based on only two criteria: Pre-requisite GPA and Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam. After taking my Kaplan, I asked one of the proctors if she knew the average score on the Kaplan. She said she wasn't sure of the average, but saw a student score a 96%. That's when I started to get nervous... and now I'm curious, how did you all do?? I applied with a Pre-req GPA of 4.0 and a Kaplan score of 87%. *Hoping that gets me in!!*
