My checklist says... deposit, acceptance response form, proof of citizenship and final transcript along with all the health information. All have red x's since I have not heard from them yet. Does everyone elses who has been accepted or has yet to find out say the same?

Hey, I haven't heard yet either and my checklist is basically the same. I have green checkmarks next to my final transcript and Mathematic (not statistics) but no background check item. I'm assuming I was wait listed... just wish they would tell me that

On a side note.... Does anyone know of any programs that do not have a10 year cap on classes. A few of my pre-req are right at that cut off. my options are slim pickings and have only found a few schools

Columbia's ABSN program has no cap on pre-req classes

Well, I noticed that something was added as not being received to my checklist today. I was concerned so I called the admissions office. Still being told the same thing - that I should hear "soon" and they could let us know up until the day before the program starts.

I actually called the admissions office yesterday to ask about my application. They told me the same thing, they could let us know up to the day before the program starts! I gave her my name and said my application was sent to admissions with a decision over a month ago and she checked and comes back and tells me, a decision letter has not been sent out yet. She will not tell me when it will be sent out either. I think it is insane that this process is taking so long!! I have decided I am most likely not going to accept if I do get in.

Also the health checklist says allow 6-8 weeks to complete this process. So how can we get the health stuff completed before the start if we are only finding out the day before?

I know it's weird.. it seems as though people heard back in early March or even before that? but doesn't seem like anyone has heard since then. I have already taken them out of the equation.. you would think they can send out an email decision to move things a little quicker, especially since the program starts so soon and people need to make decisions regarding other schools.

@nicole616 the health checklist took 1 day to update. I gave it in and the next day it was updated. I think they mean 6-8 weeks for blood tests or some special circumstances. Not completely sure though.
