Hello beautiful!! Thank u for the nice insight!! How many sessions have u completed thus far? Is Micro hard in terms of not being able to grasp the material in short time? I have to take that during the actual session. I have had 6 hours (stats and developmental psych) transfer so i dont have to take those the first session. I would love to take Micro before entering bc ive heard horror stories abt it at my current university ( U of M)

I had to take micro and stats for the first session as pre reqs. along with the required nursing classes but everyone has to take Patho and dimensional analysis the second session. Micro was easier than Patho although it's the same teacher is more info in less time. Micro was twice a week, but patho is one night. I made an A in that class with no problem. I also stopped working in September but if you can work til December I say go for it. My job didn't allow me to study...I was in management so I had no downtime, but still managed to get A's on exams. Good u don't have to take stats! I absolutely despise that class! Its one of those why am I taking this type classe. I have all A's in the classes from first session as well as this session. We are taking finals next week and next semester class from 8am-5pm. Keep in mind union will only except a certain number of hours and even if u take micro they may not accept it and u have to retake it. Since that's the class they say they choose for ppl to retake.

I heard horror stories about micro but it was not as bad as I thought. The key to that class was memorization and studying her notes.

Thanks for the insight! I'm registered to take microbio at my school in the spring. I might end up dropping it, if I'm accepted. Microbiology at my school is horrendous. Nevertheless, it would be good prep. I've already completed developmental psychology and need stats to complete my English degree. Those will probably be the classes that I transfer. :unsure:

If stats isn't a "Math" course offered thru the math dept union may not accept it. I took stats for my Bio degree and master's and neither transferred. Unfortunately I had to take it a third time. Hopefully you are OK cause I wouldn't wish that class on anyone. It takes me two days to do homework if not it would take about 8 hours!

Oh no! That sucks. The stats class at my school is offered through the math dept, so my fingers are crossed. I'm not very good at math. My B in precalc was an achievement.

OK good! Hopefully it transfers, I hope so! Last year I heard something about interviews around this time. My interview was in Jan, so if they are doing the same process you all should be hearing something soon.

yall stats is THE DEVIL!! I actually took a self-pace course and it was challenging nevertheless to teach myself but I made it out with an A. Beautiful, Im soo glad you showed up and offered this reassurance that we all needed! :x3:

No problem. I try to check the site on a regular basis just to see if any new questions about union are on here that I may be able to answer. Did Wendy say when interviews start or when acceptance emails go out

The only thing she mention at preview day was that it would be a couple of weeks before we would hear anything...She said at preview day too that the TEAS is no longer required. Maybe we will start to hear something before the holiday break.

I got an email from Union thanking me for my interest and that the second priority deadline is in Feb. I hope I hear back from them before then.
