   Classes are pretty much all day every day. A full-time 8-4pm job would definitely not be doable with this program. While they strongly advised against working, I know plenty of people that worked per diem and did just fine. Clinicals are generally 1...

   The math test is very basic. Mostly has fractions, decimals, percentages, and unless they changed it from last year I believe the only algebra included was solving proportions. You aren't allowed a calculator but you won't need one. With the writing...

   They told us today that there were 800 applicants this year, making it a bit more competitive than last year.

   For those that are wondering, the group interview is very straight forward - no need to stress too much. There's no way to really prepare for it, they'll ask you some random questions about nursing, and some personal questions as well. It's a group o...

   Congratulations to those of you that received an interview! For those of you that didn't, don't lose hope!

   I live off-campus and I submitted my application just a few days before the deadline. I think maybe October 1st when they were due the 4th. Not sure, if submitting it earlier helps or not, but it can't hurt right?

   So, I got an e-mail for an interview mid-October, and I think that was the first round of interview invitations. I had the interview itself early November, and it's a group interview. Pretty straight forward stuff, they ask you questions about your t...

   @ShannonBug6895, I think you have a really good shot to be honest. I could be wrong but I don't believe they look at each prereq individually, but how you did overall. Having that experience also works in your favor. As I mentioned earlier, I had no ...

   I'd say just really stick to the point, remove any extraneous details or fluff. What makes you stand out of the pack? Why will you be an asset to the school? Let them hear your voice, not just "I like helping people" sort of thing. Also if you had an...

    3 letters of recommendation is the minimum. When I applied, I submitted four (certainly doesn't hurt, right?). I don't know many other students' GPAs in my cohort, but I wouldn't count you out with a 3.0. It helps if you did well with the prereq cla...

    I'm not sure if you were asking me specifically, but my overall GPA was a 3.6, and I had a 4.0 in the prereqs. I also didn't have any clinical experience.
