also, if you are still waiting, you probably got in. I got my rejection letter this past Saturday.

I received my rejection letter this weekend. They wanted me to take pre req classes at OLHCC. All of my classes were taken in my previous degree. They suggested that I enroll and take some co-requisite classes. However, I have already taken everything besides the religion classes. Im weighing my options and considering other schools. My rejection letter came in a large envelope.

I was getting that same message, so I called and had them email me that document. They sent it while we were on the phone

Hi OnOn2RN, I have a quick question about your acceptance letter from OLHCC... Was it in a large envelope or a small one?? I'm on pins and needles waiting to see if I got in and letters won't be mailed out until the first week of May. I just want to know what to expect!

Hi Meeky2006, Did you decide to attend OLHCC? If so, do you have any advice for prospective candidates? I applied for the Fall 2016 and am on pins and needles waiting to see if I get in!!

I have one last question: Are the classes on the Tradition small b/c it's just the smaller campus or do they have a lot of applicants and only take a small amount of people? Just worrying about my chances í ½í¸³. I'm kinda impatient for my appointment with my nursing advisor in a couple of weeks. Thanks sooooo much for taking time out of your day to answer my questions. I really appreciate ití ½í¸¬í ½í¸¬

Thank you so much for replying. I'm really thankful for any info that I can get! WoW! I didn't know that their classes were that small. Now, I'm worried about the competition even more so... Because I'm an older student with previous degrees ( 2nd career for me), the 18 month program is so ideal.

Same here, 10 years of teaching inner city kids, but no recent volunteer hours. I hope this will suffice!

ElleMarie, our story is almost EXACTLY the same! I'm a divorced, single mother of one. I exhausted my financial aid in my previous degrees ( 1 bachelors, 2 Masters in education) and am hoping to get this award to fund this degree. I'll also be attending a private, not for profit Catholic university (hopefully) this Fall. I really NEED this scholarship to help pay my mortgage, car note, and household bills I have taught for high school science for 10 years at inner city schools that are largely underserved, but I do not have much recent volunteer experience besides all of the additional (unpaid) hours that I give to my students via tutoring, club sponsorship, and after school activities... Not to mention I still have a preschooler!! Louisiana EFC: 0000 GPA (cum): 3.2 So, I'm hoping to be in that selected number!!!

Hi! I'm applying for WC- Tradition Campus this Spring. How was your experience (I'm assuming your finished)? Would you mind sharing your admission stats? Did they value TEAS V over gpa or vice versa? Were there many people accepted for admission? Sorry for all the questions, but it is soooo hard to find out info !!! I'm just really nervous! Any info helps.

Hello, I have decided to apply for William Carey Nursing School (Tradition). I would like to learn any additional info from current students, former students, and current hopefuls on the school. Also, does anyone know what has more weight when considering admissions: TEAS V or GPA?? How much more difficult are trimester classes over semester classes?? How large are the classes (how many people do they usually admit)? How are the professors?? ANY info on this school would be greatly appreciated. I hope to be accepted for the Spring 2017 class!!!

I am about to be 35 this year and have just decided to go back and complete nursing school. I have been a high school science teacher for the past 10 years and have back for 2 masters degrees in education. After all of that, I made the decision in February of this year to go back for nursing. I say go back because I was previously in an ASN program when I was younger and was unsuccessful in the Adult Nursing I course. I gave up and did not re-enter. It was a mistake that I made due to immaturity and lack of confidence. But, that was 15 years ago. I am a different person now. And like you, I see the advantage of being mature and of having life experience as some definite caveats to being successful. I know for a fact that you will be successful and will quickly find employment!!! Congrats!!

I am currently applying for Fall 2016 admission and I'm worried because I have a previous degree that is not from OLHCC (I'm switching careers). I am worried that they will not accept me because I am a transfer student... How has your experience been at OLHCC so far??
