I actually was thinking the same thing regarding financial aid. I went to talk with them the other day, and they said that award letters should be mailed out shortly. Apparently they are usually sent out right after acceptance letters, but they had some kind of computer issue and are working to get them out now.

Congratulations! I wonder when they're going to send out financial aid letters. If I decide to go to Seattle U, I'm not sure how I'm going to pay for it since it's my second-degree.
Do you think it is harder to get financial aid if it is your second degree?

I think so, especially since this is a post-bacc degree for me. It seems like schools are more apt to give grants to first-degree students or people contining on to their master's degree. This is sort of the same reason why I wrote in my personal statement about how I wanted to gain bedside experience first as a nurse, as opposed to just jumping into a nursing specialty as an advanced practice nurse.

I've heard people who do the Accelerated BSN programs receive mostly loans to cover their expenses. Since SU is a private school, I am hoping hey're actually more generous on the financial aid side than some state schools.

Sorry Bina! Keep on applying and you'll make it. I know the letters without the good news stink. Keep your chin up and best of luck with the next one!

Hi mocha,

My prereq GPA for Seattle U was about a 3.7. At the time of application, I had 2.5 years of CNA experience, student government/community service work, and my personal statement really emphasized on social justice and Jesuit teachings.

I was wondering when you guys applied, did you have all your pre-reqs done? or still in progress?

I changed my major, so now i'm just starting the pre-reqs for nursing, so i'll be applying for 2011.

Please let me know :)

I had a 3.9 in prereqs, completed my NAC, and had a previous B.A. in anthropology with a pretty high GPA. I had completed all the prereqs before I applied. I'm not sure what got me in the door here vs other schools, but I do think they look at the total application and what you have to say about your reasons for entering the field instead of solely relying on the numbers.

Edit: And I had about 300 hours of volunteer experience.
