Hi, I just got accepted for the Spring 2023 Cohort and was looking to find other students that were either applying or have been accepted.

Hi! I just got accepted for fall 2024 and I too read some scary reviews online...my mom makes just enough to where I will never qualify for money from the govt (but I have to pay for school) and the scholarship they offered just won't be enough. I was wondering if it is truly worth it to spend the money for UST and if there are other current students who have been having good experiences! Thanks 🙂

Hi! In my opinion it is worth spending the money because the program is goes by quickly and the professors want to see you succeed. My experience hasn't been too bad and you still have time to break away from school and have a social life. One main advice I would give to you before starting the program is to enjoy the time that you have before it starts because the program moves by quickly and it can be easy to fall behind.

Hi everyone! 
anyone here got accepted without a bachelors? If so, how long did it take for you to get an acceptance or rejection letter? I'm  going into 2 weeks and I'm feeling pretty anxious 😅.

I don't have a bachelors! It took me 5 days to get accepted which was shocking..I'm really not sure why but I think it probably had to do with timing. I've heard it's rolling so maybe the reason it's taking longer is maybe bc there were a lot of people who happened to submit theirs at the same time as you. I wouldn't worry!!

Thank you so much for the feedback!! Truly appreciate it! I'll try to be more patient 😅

I totally get it. I'm waiting on some other schools that are taking months. I know the wait is actually brutal 😭 we got this!

Hello, I'm interested to get in this school.

Does this school have pre nursing and are you guaranteed to get into BSN if took pre nursing here?

I'll call them but looking for tips for those who got here after high school.

hi guys! how has your experience in the program been? I've seen a lot of mixed reviews.

I personally did really well in the program. For me, the learning layout and structure was suitable. The most difficult part is just keeping the test average above 75% and since there are only a few exams per class, you can't afford to bomb one. That was the only thing that stressed me out, but I ended up being fine. I think the main thing is just figuring out which method of studying works best for you and learning with time how to focus on what will likely be on the tests. 

With any program you look at there will be negative reviews and people will always have something to say. And another thing to factor in is if a 12 month program will be too fast for you. Some people are slower learners or need more time for subjects to be broken down, so if that's the case you might want to look into other 16 month programs. But overall, I'd say first semester is the most difficult and once you get through that you'll be fine. People in my group ended up being fine and we were all there for each other and got our degrees.
