   I was thinking the same thing! Good on you gatewood! I didn't apply to UCSF because I didn't want to move up north, but wow - imagine if you would've gotten into both! You must be very qualified, congrats!

   Indeed, I was! UCLA is much more convenient for me as an LA county resident, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Although it would've been easier to plan for school for UCLA, I'm still happy with Western. :)

   PeaceWalker replied to Aspiringprovider's topic in School Programs

   That's great news! Good luck with it. I didn't apply to CSULA because I was missing one of their courses, but it would've been a great alternative school for me as well - cost wise and location. Either way, I'm becoming happier each day with the know...

   Hi all, unfortunately, I was not accepted into UCLA either. I had a gut feeling I wouldn't be accepted due to an outstanding requirement (automatic rejection - hahaha!), but there was always that string of hope. Anyways, congrats to all those who wer...

   From what I can tell, the deposit goes into your tuition for the program. Schools essentially do this to encourage (or bait) students into committing into their school. Just the mere fact that you're feeling uneasy about it pretty much serves its pur...

   I received my acceptance the following 2 weeks of my EAOD. For those who are going to EAOD, I don't know about others, but I treated the entire day like it was an interview and came in with a mission. Essentially, they just want to see if you're as ...

   No worries - I totally share your sentiments about these decisions. If nursing is your ultimate goal, you'll achieve it one way or the other. It's just that you may have to take a different route, but you'll get there eventually. What might help you ...

   At EAOD, Professor Tuason mentioned several clinical sites that hired Western MSN-E students before they get their MSN. For me, some of these sites are closer to my home (CHOC and St. Joseph's Hospital), which is great news because I don't like to co...

   Ultimately, you're going to have to make a tough decision one way or the other. There are definitely other routes you can take to get to your destination, but that depends on your circumstances and future plans. Of course, you also have to consider w...

    The living and commuting plan for me is still up in the air right now. The school is about an hour away from my home, so I'm leaning more towards commuting at the moment. What about you?

    Congrats, SilverNP! I guess we'll be seeing each other a lot this Fall. Good luck to everyone else. It's still pretty early in the game, so don't lose hope. Not everyone who received early acceptances take the offer, and I recall there were students...

    PeaceWalker replied to Aspiringprovider's topic in School Programs

    Yes, I did get all my prerequisites completed before I applied. I don't think it makes that much of a difference because I'm sure they'll have a finalized list of candidates once everyone has submitted their remaining documents. I think that would be...

    PeaceWalker replied to Aspiringprovider's topic in School Programs

    Aw! Thanks for your encouragement. I hope you hear back soon too - and possibly a EAOD offer! I applied around October 29th, which I know was cutting way too close to the initial September 1st deadline - made it though. I think historically, the earl...

    PeaceWalker replied to knenopoulos's topic in School Programs

    Thank you all for the warm encouragement. I received an e-mail stating that my physiology class was outstanding, which most likely meant I need to retake it. It's just awful because it's another hoop to jump through, but I guess you have to do what y...

    Hi all, I just received my Early Acceptance Opportunity Day message via e-mail. Based on the past application cycle, I heard that those received this e-mail have a very high chance of getting into the program - not guaranteed, but close. Anyone else ...
