Hi! 

I've applied for the Fall cohort as well. I sent my application in around first week of January, have yet to hear anything back, I don't think we'll hear anything before May either. 

I am curious tho, is anyone still finishing up pre-reqs?

I also am finishing my last 3 classes. Submitting my application Friday. Good luck to all 💝

Hi, yes I applied for Fall 2021 and didn't get in.

Did they say why? What are your stats? I ask because I only have volunteer work in regards to medical.  I have a MBA 🙂

No they didn't say why, at the time I was finishing up my last prerequisite and planning to take pathophysiology and my TEAS and HESI were in the low 70s. My GPA was a 3.0, since then my GPA has raised due to retaking my anatomy course and receiving an A, I have also retaken the TEAS and HESI and now I'm in the high 70s and low 80. I also applied to the ELMSN nursing CM this year and I'm on the waitlist for Fall.

Oh I see.  What is ELMSN ?  Do you think they do not admit students who have in progress classes?

Entry level masters in nursing. I think they do admit if in progress classes I just think at the time I wasn't competitive enough

Oh OK.  I spoke with someone in admissions today and she said it really comes down to your letters of recommendation and how you answered the short answer questions.
