i'm VERY ANXIOUS about my letter

[ese1212]

Right now, i am very nervous. between now and Dec 20, i am expecting a letter which would state whether i have been admitted into the nursing program or not. i try my hardest not to think too much about it but it's hard because as much as my heart tells me "i'm in", my head says otherwise.

the school i applied to, have very strict rules that every nursing applicant must follow.

1. you must be a student of the school or must have spent one year (2 semesters)

2. you must be from within the state. if not, ur chances of getting in is lowered.

3. of course, a GPA of 2.5 and above

4. you must complete all pre reqs

The problem here is that i'm not from "within the state and i've only spent only 1 semester (although i took a class with the during the summer. i dont know if that counts)

I have a GPA of 4.0 and have completed my pre reqs and some unnecessary classes because i didn't know what else to take.

Being a transfer student makes it twice as hard to get in and based on the aforementioned problems, i'm getting mixed feelings.

anyone sharing the same problem? if not, what's ur say on this?

thanks

You WILL get in. Relax:)

With a GPA like that it would be really sad if they didn't let you in! Especially since you've completed all of the pre reqs! I honestly think you have a great chance and I can't wait to hear the good news! :-)

Well, all I have to say is that if one gets into a nursing program with a GPA of only 2.5, they probably will not make it through the nursing program! A good indication of success in a nursing program, according to the statistics at my boyfriends school are a grade of at least "B" in Anatomy and Physiology courses, Microbiology, Math, and chemistry and a cummulative GPA of at least 3.5. There is an enormous amount of material to cover in nursing. In one semester in one class, my boyfriend had to read, learn, remember, and understand the material from at least two books I know of plus the material covered in lecture and supplemental readings, and each book had about 1600 - 1800 pages.
