Egaddy, I will post this info for you and anyone else who is following this thread. As far as cutoff scores are considered they change dramatically every semester. The semester we got in I think people applied with 1.78 and still got in. However, let me just give you a quick heads up... This program is a mess and is SUPER heavy on theory.. It seems that skills have taken a back seat to theory due to some push by society to try and make nursing a "respected science". Not that this is a bad thing but don't expect to learn how to perform your duties extremely efficiently through practice and reinforcement by the teaching staff. I feel like if I spent 6 months to a year, not knowing anything about nursing, in a nursing environment I would be a better nurse than if I came out of school after 4 years with a BSN from ASU. Staffing changes frequently and I no longer believe that this is the best program in the state. Most of your instructors are usually old and have been in a lot of different nursing fields so they can do their jobs extremely well but they absolutely blow at teaching and don't fully put in the effort to understand the books information and present it to you in an easy to understand fashion. In hind site I wish I would have just received my RN through a community college and then taken the theory courses online with asu to get the BSN. The first semester is a joke and feels like community college then the second semester is a million times harder and you are being taught by people who are currently in school for their Masters/PHD which, I personally feel, takes away from their time and ability to dedicate themselves to teaching the students to the best of their abilities. So to sum it all up.... **** is a mess... Do not expect the teachers to care about you, your efforts to get into the program, your dedication, the money you spent, and your thirst for knowledge.. Expect them to just sit in front of the class bulllshitting about personal experiences that they have had which have a tiny bit to do with the information you are learning and then setting you up for failure by looking for weaknesses in what people are and aren't studying and testing you on those aspects. I know this seems like I'm just hatting hardcore but in all reality I worked my ******* ass off to get into this program thinking it was the best possible option only to find out that the staff and the program are EXTREMELY unorganized, staff changes frequently, most of the teachers don't know how to teach effectively but are just experts in their fields. All in all, I know nursing school is supposed to be difficult, which I expected, but I also expected with the amount of money we all pay and the effort we all put in to get into this program that they would have at least made sure they had the best teaching staff possible. This is not the case though unfortunately. My advice would be to take the easy route cause a BSN is a BSN in my personal opinion now.... This coming from a straight A student who easily passed the first semester and is in the process of passing the second semester as well. I am just extremely unsatisfied with the program.

Same :-/

Well, in the acceptance email they stated that after we turn in our intent to enroll form we should recieve further info the week of Nov. 3rd. So, sometime this week I guess.

Alright, I feel better now haha. Thanks all!

Hey all, I turned in my intent to enroll form on Friday but have still yet to recieve any further info. I'm starting to worry that maybe they didn't get my email or something crazy like that. Im sure it's just me being paranoid, but have any of you recieved the info detailing the next steps we have to take?

Dang... They make us pay for it? I swear I have been keeping track of all these small things they make us pay for to write it off at the end of the year lol.

Perfect! Thanks for the info! Feeling better now, would of had to spend money that I dont have to get a ticket home.

Within in two weeks, Hmm. I wonder If I can take it out of state. If worse comes to worse I will just have to get a ticket home. But i'm thinking since we have till the Nov 3rd to turn in the intent to enroll maybe it will take them a week to respond with the remaining info and then the two weeks start from there which will workout perfectly cause I will be back home by then.

Also recieved my email last night stating that I got in! Woohoo!! Im a little wrried though because I am out of state at the moment and will be for the next 3 weeks. I hope there isn't anything I have to be physically present in the state for in that timeframe. Anyone know if this is the case?

Hey all, I got excited seeing the post here saying that we would get emails today. However, I just called them and they said the emails will be sent out late this week or early next week. I hope this isn't true cause I am over waiting!! As I am sure you are all too.

Hey Amber, I am currently in the running for Spring 2015. I have a 3.93 GPa and got an 81% on the TEAS so I am hoping that is good enough to get me into spring 2015. However, I did have some problems with immunizations and some other documents so if that keeps me from getting in this time around I will be applying for summer/fall but would hope to get into fall as apposed to summer. I am currently taking Patho which is the last class I need to have all pre reqs done. I have an A in the class right now and am hoping I can keep it because so that I can use that A to replace one of my B's to have a 4.0 for my select GPA. Anyways my advice, after going through the application process for spring, is to get started now on all the immunixzations and everything. Sometimes there can be problems that arise and the fixes can take quite some time so start as early as possible! Good luck to you Amber!

10 more days left!! Hopefully anways, haha. The email said the week of the 27th so I doubt we will get it right on the 27th. Anyways, Good luck again to everyone! I hope we all get in as I know we have all worked hard! Take care!

I hope so as well! Was getting nervous that maybe I missed something haha. This whole process has been pretty gruling for me as im sure it was for all of you as well. I just can't wait for all the hard work to pay off! Just gunna focus on trying to come up with funds now. Has anyone talked to financial aid yet? If so were they helpful and who did you talk to? Im gunna try to make it in next wednesday to start the process of getting loans, grants, and scholarships.

No I haven't yet. Have you?

Very nice guys! Good luck to all of you! Hoping there was a small pool of applicants so we can all get in!
