I have been accepted and I think I will be attending.

I also got a packet in the mail.

I am still waiting to hear back from some other schools before I make my final decision. I sent in my deposit though because I am leaning towards Marymount.

I also go waitlisted - 3.0 undergrad and 4.0 pre-req..

Holly - Mostly what I've heard bad about both programs is that they are unorganized and expensive. I have spoken to people from both programs and they have liked their respective program though. A couple of people that I spoke to about Marymount really liked the final semester nursing internship; they thought it gave them real world experience and prepared them to be a nurse. I think the NCLEX pass rate is similar for both schools, as well as placement after graduation. I also believe the facilities at both programs are pretty new. The biggest advantage for me is that Marymount is right around the corner from where I live, while Shenandoah is in Leesburg, but I also heard that Shenandoah gives you more money.

I have about an overall GPA of 3.0 and pre-req GPA of 4.0, and a 98 on the TEAS. There is a study manual for the TEAS that comes from the company that makes the test; I just used that to become familiar with the format of the test. The TEAS has a lot of reading comprehension and its also the category that Marymount places the most emphasis on. Good luck with you application!

I have also been accepted to both programs and I am still deciding which program would be best for me. I have heard both good and bad about both programs.

I applied an was accepted.
