Hello everyone!

I created this thread for everyone to see how many people are applying and how is everyone doing. A little bit about me is that I am currently at a community college, therefore applying as a transfer. I am honestly nervous about my essay because the prompts were difficult. That is all I have to say and good luck to everyone who is applying!

you have to remember that its a holistic review process. your GPA is only a part of your application. I wouldn't worry too much about one portion of your application like GPA (obviously easier said than done). 

Thank you.  I think I wrote a compelling personal statement, but I didn't have any extracurriculars. My leadership experience was combined with my healthcare experience on my resume (they were formatted separately, but my leadership experience was from my work experience). I*think* I have a good letter of recommendation, I filled out the optional statement explaining that health issues and motherhood have had an impact on my academic history...I know I've done all I can. Seeing the stories even in this thread of highly competitive applicants getting denied from programs just makes my heart sink. 

At the end of the day all of us are in this same uncertain boat, and my heart is with all of you as you go through this process with me. Best luck to every one of you out there.

Hey all, I received a missing items email a couple days ago and immediately got on Parchment to send the missing transcript electronically. Both parchment and my community college have confirmed that the transcript was sent as of 3/23, but I am not seeing a download confirmation.

Per the notification's instruction, I replied to my email to ask if they could confirm whether the document was received.

Today I received a second Missing Items Portal notification, this time letting me know that there was an error with the upload function of the portal (which I didn't need to use because my transcript needed to be official). It was the same as the original email otherwise. 

Does anyone know if there is a particular person or office I should contact within the office of admissions to sort out if my application is complete?

You can reply the email they sent you. And I got the same email, also got another one back saying it was an error.

Hi guys! We’re so close to finding out! I just emailed the School of Nursing to figure out when they’ll release decisions and how many people applied this cycle. I’m guessing maybe more people might’ve applied because they waived the hands-on experience this year. I’ll post their answers on this thread!

Here’s their reply:

“Thank you for your inquiry. We will have decisions out by the end of April. We accept 80 students for the Fall. This year we received over 700 applications.”

I guess we might be learning our decisions a little later than usual? and it looks like more people did apply this cycle.

Agreed! Is anyone else waiting to hear back from PLU as well?

Specializes in NAR / Pre-nursing.

We should know in about 2-3 weeks, we got this! Anyone else get offered admission to other Universities (or hope to)? If so, are you likely to choose the other university or UW?

I work for UW and rumor is.... Decisions are going out 4/23! I hope this is true and if not that maybe it'll happen sooner!

I did not get in there but was offered acceptance into the college itself and now they are more or less harassing me about committing to a different program. I've been asking for more information of why I wasn't accepted into the nursing program and have gotten a run around ? I hate this whole process. So frustrating!

@Valerie Tran I am also waiting to hear back from PLU, UW, and WSU!

Quick question, do I get notified if I didn't make it? Just wondering because I need to plan for my future quarter courses.

I was also offered admission to the college itself, but I’m still waiting to hear back from the nursing program. When did you hear back from them? I was told they wouldn’t be releasing their decision until mid-April. The process is very frustrating indeed. ?
