I have the immunization tab as of this morning so hopefully that means they are sending out those acceptances very soon! Good luck to all :)

I know the anxiety feeling! I'm STILL waiting on another school and my application was finished at the end of December. Doesn't really matter since I chose Loyola but it's still annoying. So when I got accepted, I was sent a link to the "Fall 2016 cohort" Facebook page and right now it has about 20 likes. That's why I assume that's about how many spots are taken. Good luck! :)

Obviously I have no idea firsthand if you would be accepted, but that all sounds really good to me! I would say your chances are good for sure. I had a 3.3 undergrad GPA and for my pre-reqs got B's in organic Chem and micro with A's in everything else. I did a semester of grad school (podiatry) and basically failed all of my classes because I realized how much I hated that field of study and withdrew after the first semester. Even with that on my transcripts (along with a letter explaining my performance in grad school), I was still admitted. And quickly too. You should be hearing soon if your application is complete! And there seem to be plenty of spaces still open, maybe only 20 of the 60 filled. Good luck!! Hopefully I'll be seeing you in Chicago this Fall :)

I submitted my application at the end of December but was waiting on one letter. Once the letter was submitted on January 28th, I checked my application status online and was accepted the next day, January 29th. I got the official letter in the mail maybe 2 days later. I looked into Rush briefly but for several reasons didn't pursue an application there. However, I did apply to DePaul's MENP program and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Fairly certain I'll be attending Loyola though. Hoping someone can answer some of my questions about the program soon so I can make an informed decision!

Hi! I was recently accepted into Loyola's ABSN program beginning this Fall. I am debating between attending there or going to DePaul's MENP program so I was hoping people who have attended Loyola could give me some answers. All the other Loyola forums are quite old so I'm looking for more recent information. And any of you that are also considering Loyola, please feel free to ask your questions on here as well! My first question is approximately how many clinical hours are involved throughout the program? I've looked and cannot find this number anywhere. Along with that, do you feel your clinical experiences fully prepared you for your first nursing job? How was finding a job after the program? Were you able to enter the field you wanted fairly easily? I'm interested in ICU, maybe ER so I was wondering about new grads specifically in those areas if anyone has any information. Did you find the course load to be manageable? Specifically the first semester. Manageable enough to potentially work part time on weekends? Any other information you may have or feel like sharing is appreciated. Thank you so much!

For those of you (lucky!) people that have already been accepted, could you tell us when you submitted/finalized your applications? Might give us a better idea of when we will hear something. Also, anyone accepted at LP? I've only seen RF campus so far. Congrats to those accepted and good luck to the rest of us! :)

I have also applied for the DePaul MENP program for this fall. I talked with the admissions office and they said 6-8 weeks from the deadline so we're looking at late February. Last year it seems like most people knew around mid-late February so we're almost there! I just got accepted to Loyola's ABSN program but will attend DePaul if I get in. Loyola is like a 45 min commute (with no traffic) so no thanks! Haha. Good luck to you all! :)
