I have also applied to start Valencia's AVS Program for the January 2015 term. I applied last semester also, and did not get in. I have 5 years+ experience, too. I really think they look at GPA more than anything, and my GPA is good, but not as high as yours, Natasha. Last term we got the e-mail within 4 weeks, so if it is the same this term, then we should be hearing something any day now! Hopefully we will all get in and be able to start our journey to becoming RN's!
