It was a general email, everyone got it.

Honestly, not to be negative, there is not much we can do to improve our application regarding volunteer hours or health care work. We can only improve HESI/TEAS score and goal statements ?‍♀️  until December 1st.

I totally agree with you! I’m more so disappointed that I could not get any feedback on my application. Or any actual advice other than “check if you meet the minimum requirements” ?

I’m right there with you ? The email that we got regarding our application that was asking if we met the minimums and the other requirements, I believe that was a generic email because I received the same one. I wish there was a way of asking for an extension so some of us could get some more hours in and/or new LORs ?

I agree, it would help to know what they are really looking for or get more specific feedback. I assume you met the minimum requirement or else you would've not applied ?

I literally said in my first email I have a 3.8 GPA and proceeded to list all my stats. Then she responds with “do you meet the minimum requirements?” And generic stuff about how the cycle was competitive  and all the advice she has is to apply again. Not helpful?

@Momo26 I got same email, I think, that generic response to everyone that being asked ...meet minimum requirements?  I don’t know any other counselor. Through out admission process I only came across her in BSN live chat/ info session etc.

Hello!

So for anyone who is still on the waitlist, I was recently told that we will be updated on the status every other week and people can be pulled from the waitlist up until the program start date (January 4th?). Just wanted to put this out there in case anyone was curious!
