I applied to an ASN program that is pretty dang competitive for Spring.

My gpa is 3.7-3.8 w/o three of the core sciences (anatomy, physi, micro). They can be taken as coreqs the school I applied. You just had to have one out of the way. I don't think my chances are that good but I sure hope so!

Letters go out mid-late Sept. Still anxiously awaiting and the time is coming closer!

Plan B: continue taking prereqs at current cc and probably enter depression.

I dont do failure well and with my chances not being good i'm scared.

This is it. I was accepted at the CC ADN program last Fall but declined in order to finish pre req's for the BSN and apply to both for Spring. If the UMD doesn't come through, I am fairly confident that I will be accepted again at the CC. I will begin that program and then go back for the RN to BSN afterward.

Am I the only dork that checks the admissions web site daily!?!

What is your plan A, B, C...?

Plan A is to get accepted and start in Jan 09. I applied back in Feb for the Fall 08 start and was not accepted :(. I have BSBA and that covered my basic courses (eng, math, psych, humanities); however, when I applied in Feb I only had A&P 1 completed. Now that I have A&P1, A&PII, Nutrition, and Dvlpmt Psych completed, and I am taking Microbio. now, I should get in. My nursing advisor told me there isn't any reason I shouldn't get in, but we shall see. My A&PI lab partner got accepted for Fall 08 and her grades weren't very good and she scored in the low 80's on the HESI, so that confused me a bit and left me feeling a bit unfaithful in the school's selection practices. She also did not have any of the other science classes completed when she had applied. I was told that having a BS would "help," but so far that hasn't been the case. God, I hope I get in. I have been waiting to go to nursing school for years now!

Plan B: If I don't get in this time, I probably won't try again. Just enjoy being a SAHM, raising my son.
