I applied too! Does anyone know when to expect to hear back?

Thank you for all the responses! I realize I have a very tough choice to make. On a side note, I AM also considering the public schools here in SoCal as well as a few Christian schools, the only concern about the public schools is due to the fact that they are heavily impacted and I've heard horror stories about the lottery system that some of them utilize to accept students into their program. Most people I meet just assume I am straight until I tell them the truth, so it's not like I would have a hard time covering my sexuality up if I had to, but I do agree that it's not healthy to be in an environment where you can't be yourself. I'm a fairly introverted guy so I wanted to consider the small privates due to the smaller class sizes, as well as the ambient and family vibe that a small school typically has. It just seems like my sexuality could potentially be a roadblock, so it's very frustrating. On another note, I am not trying to stereotype that all Christians hate gay people, because I personally know many of whom that are loving and compassionate people. However, you can't ignore the fact that many Christians do feel strongly against gay people, and so it is a legitimate and realistic concern when you are LGBT and considering a predominantly Christian environment.

Hey guys, so I'm currently going to school in Hawai'i (pre-nursing), and was rejected this past year to the nursing program. The school is facing budget cuts and so all things considered, I wanted to transfer back to southern California (which is where I live), and a lot of the schools I am looking at are the smaller, private Christian schools such as Mt. Saint Mary's, Cal Baptist, Azusa Pacific, etc. I was just wondering if any of you know of anyone getting their BSN from any of these schools? I am a little frustrated and concerned right now about attending these schools, because I am gay, and people have told me that I will not be admitted/kicked out if the school finds out about my sexual orientation. Obviously, I don't want to be in an environment where I cannot be myself or where I don't feel safe, so this is a concern to me . I hoped maybe you all could share some information about this. What are your thoughts?
