I'm in too! Super exited. Congrats to everyone who got in.

I got in yayyy... congrats to the ones who got in.. and who didn't get in don't lose hope.. last semester I was in your shoes

I'm an alternate! Hopefully I'll be starting this journey with all of you that got accepted !

if you got in start on your titers/vaccinations you dont have much time..

congrats to those that got in... and if you didnt just try again... i was denied my first time then an alternate then i got accepted...

Yeah well I'm thinking it's a lost cause anyways applying with 60 points isn't realistic and this is my second time applying. I've been taking pre reqs since 09

Congrats to all who got in this program. Can I ask any of you what your point was? Do you know what the cut-off point is? Because it is a new system and my problem is that I have such a good GPA but, not a good TEAS score. I want to know if I should take it again or no?

@emt2brn don't get discouraged. I got denied 3 times in a row. I asked myself, "what can I do to better my chances?" The answer for me was to get my CNA certification and work as a CNA in order to get more points. I also took the nxn classes for more points. That alone was enough to get in. Good luck

maybe we can create a Facebook group as a more sufficient way to communicate?
