Just wondering if everyone used the PTE function or did you upload yourself? I just feel like I don't want to wait. Also did everyone add their references to their CV or upload them in a seperate spot? Did you attach letters of rec or just the reference information?

Honestly, I'm starting to feel like it's just not worth it. You have to pay around $80 for NursingCAS to fill out your application for you (PTE), then pay again just to send them your transcript. After that, you have to wait for them to receive it, wait for them to enter your coursework, review your own transcript that they entered, send it back, and then wait again for them to verify it. For each submission they say the wait is 7-10 business days... well I submitted my application on August 12th (fully completed) and I'm still waiting on verification. 

I'm only getting slightly worried because people have been saying you should submit before the end of August for the best chances. 💀

I submitted 8/12 via nursingcas, as of today 8/26 I've yet to receive a verified email from RFU. Is this typical?

I submitted 8/8 and didn't receive confirmation of receipt from RFU until 8/15. On 8/21 I received an email stating my file was complete and ready for committee review. I have seen in past cycles that you can contact the admissions office to confirm receipt if you did not receive an email. Did NursingCas confirm that your application was verified? That has to be done before it is sent to RFU.

my application also verified this morning! got an email from RFU soon after saying application was complete. I tried to access the application checklist but it needed a pin, so I reached out to admissions who said that the PIN will be made available later in admissions process. just an FYI for those trying to login! Best of luck to all of us!

For me, they did send the pin with the email and I was able to change it to my password so I don't know if anything changed recently. They haven't updated much since a couple of weeks ago though (checked just now)🥲

Yes. I got it with the initial confirmation email that had the login info so I literally changed it the same day and have been checking multiple times a day lmao. The platform makes me change it the first time you log in.

Hmm yeah not sure, but hoping that does mean anything...I reached out to admissions and they just said I'll get it later so IDK 😕

Honestly I don't think it means anything. I think they have a ton of applications already so they will eventually send it to people. Good luck to all of us 🥹🥲
