UNLV SON FALL 2018

Published

Hello everyone! :)

Since the Summer 2018 cohort is about to be announced, I thought I would start the forum for Fall 2018. Who else is applying? I hope the cut off score isn't as high as it was last fall!

Definitely gonna have to keep working. FinAid doesn't give much coin

Someone that went to today's signing session told me that there was 4 people!!! So that puts us up to like 63 people! One more session to go!

4 people?!?! That's insane. It's unprecedented for this to see so few applicants, especially for Fall! That being said... that's great news for us all.

I guess the only potential negative would be that the lower scoring applicants are choosing not to apply, go elsewhere?

Like I said, I think a lot are nervous about wasting an attempt for Fall. Oh well, better news for all of us!

How many people do you think actually follow the trends and use sites like Allnurses?

Oh, I'll be working for sure. It's my 2nd degree, so I'm not really getting much FinAid. I'm working as a scribe now, so I'll likely keep that throughout school. Anyone else scribing?

I'm a scribe Living2Learn! I also plan to work during the program, but I am cutting my hours if I get in the program. Ya girl got bills haha

There's a TON of people who use Allnurses! It is such a helpful site. As for following our thread, I think there's way more people than are commenting on here. Some are just watching and we'll probably hear from them when calls go out! Some others have told me that they don't feel comfortable commenting on here since it's public. I bet the SON and health science advisors even peek at the thread from time to time lol.

Hi guys! I'm applying with a 98.3!I'm sure all of us will be fine considering there has only been 63 applicants with only one more day of signing left. So I have this theory that because there is so little applicants, I think the cutoff will be super low. I think whoever was trying to apply with a 92.2 will be totally fine. i know someone who just got in for this spring and she said there's people who got in with 91s and a few high 80s. I honestly think if you have anywhere in the 90s you'll be fine because again, there is sooo little people applying. At this rate, only 7 people will be cut, and I doubt it's going to be someone with 92 points.

@forevertired - I honestly think you would be totally fine applying with 92.2 points. that's a good score. Last fall was a fluke and there is only 63 applying so far with 56 being accepted. those are really good odds and i'm sure the 7 cut are the ones with points in the 80s.
