Not sure if it's at all related to the basic BSN (tend to think it isn't), but I just heard back from the RN-BSN that I was accepted this past Tuesday. It's a summer start program.

CONGRATS!!!! did your solar account have holds asking for your health clearance or anything prior to your acceptance? also did you get an email?

I didn't get any holds until after I was accepted, paid my deposit and it was a couple days later. I had just checked my solar account for any changes (which there weren't any). About an hour later I received an email stating that I was accepted and it told me to login to solar to accept or decline my acceptance. I promptly accepted the offer and paid my deposit, this was all on Tuesday afternoon. The next day my solar screen had a lot of extra tabs added and on Friday I had a hold for health forms (which are due this coming Wednesday approximately).

BTW, the acceptance is next to where it says to "view applicant decision", it will have a link that says "admission decision response". You'll definitely receive an email simultaneously as your solar changes though.

I know what you guys are going through though. I applied to the basic BSN program for fall 2011 start and was denied with a 4.0gpa and a significant amount of volunteer experience at SB, amongst other things that made me (or so I felt) a competitive applicant, no wait list or anything. I was accepted to an associate program and went with it, I'm graduating from the program in May and start the RN-BSN program in June. So even though I won't have a BSN when I'm job hunting, I feel it will still look good to employers that I'm in the program. I will tell you though that I was crushed when I was denied, as hard as it is to get into the basic BSN program, I felt that I had it. I'm very happy in the program I'm about to complete now and there are more than 1 way or 1 school to become a nurse.

Good luck to everyone waiting!
