Hey, I originally did not ask to be considered for the traditional program. However, they called me last week and I figured out that they were missing some of my grades because they had not been uploaded to my application. They then told me that they had no open spots for accelerated, but about eight open spots for traditional. So I told them I wanted to be considered for it. They said they were going to start making decisions last Thursday and then letters would go out. So I am hoping that it shouldn't take to long!

Thanks! I am definitely holding out hope that I will be accepted for the spring. In the meantime I am going to attempt to meet with an advisor. I am pretty certain that what is holding me back is my low prereq GPA. So I think I am going to retake the classes I know are bringing that score down in the spring if I do not get accepted. But I definitely need to speak with an advisor soon to make sure that if I am not in this semester that I am on the right track for next semester. Thanks so much for your help! Good luck with getting ready for classes and I will update if anything changes!

Well I finally heard back from USA and I have been placed on the wait list. Melanie, I know you were wait listed last semester? Any advice? This waiting game is awful!!

Oh my gosh congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you! I still haven't heard anything yet so I'm hoping the letter will come soon with some sort of decision.

Hey! No I haven't heard anything yet and it's been 10 weeks. This wait is taking forever!

Hey Melanie, My name is Taylor! Yeah I'm not sure what files means either but hopefully that means It's not a denial and we are still potentially getting phone calls! But seriously this wait has been killing me as well! As for the GPA part... That's crazy that 3.6 was the lowest. I am currently sitting with a 3.4 prereq GPA. My degree is in Biology from Florida State University but I have been continuing to take classes since I graduated, some of which were at USA and I did well so I hope that helps. I really hope they consider the full package and not just the GPA. It is also nice to hear that this is your second time applying because I believe I may try and apply again if I am not accepted this term. Thanks for the update and hopefully this wait ends soon! Taylor

I am also very nervous! But yes, please keep me updated and I will do the same for you!

I applied and also have not heard back from USA yet. I called a few weeks ago and they said letters would go out early to mid September so I'm hoping any day now.
