waiting (im)patiently....

Published

So, I know it's about 3 weeks in... but I am DYING!!!!

How long did it take for you to receive "the letter" after applying?

I too am waiting impatiently!! Our deadline to apply is Feb. 1 and I believe letters are sent out the first week of March. We only have 5 days to accept the spot!! Is that normal? I'm so afraid my letter will get lost in the mail and I will loss my spot! Everyday seems a little worse than the day before. By March I will be a mess! I applied in November. It helps that I have my last 2 pre-req's to keep me busy though.

I know what you all are going through. I applied to 3 programs for their Accelerated BSN programs. The deadline for 2 of the schools was Jan 15. The third school's deadline was Dec 1. I won't hear back from any of them until March. I am an absolute nervous wreck! Good luck to all. I will be looking forward to the time when we can all share our excitement about acceptance (hopefully).

good luck guys!!! :)

I put all my eggs in one basket, as it's the only LPN course in the province!

I know I am probably checking too soon... but anyone else check the mailbox daily, in case by fluke you get that letter super soon?? !! :rolleyes:

Me too! All my eggs are in one basket and I won't find out until APRIL!!! I hope that was just a conservative estimate and i'll really find out in March...sigh!

I will also know around mid February. And believe me, it's been a long time coming. It's funny though, I applied in October and they told me that I should get a letter around mid-FEB. I have been checking the mail faithfully at 3:00pm since October just in case you know they decide early. I am so scared. Should I open the envelope? Those are the kinds of questions I have been asking myself. But I bet you all are the same way :rotfl:

good luck guys!!! :)

Me too! I put all my eggs in 1 basket. The other 2 schools nearby, 1 I can't afford, 1 has a 2 yr wait once you have all your prerequis done. So I applied at the 1 I can afford and work on my prerequisites while in the program. I hope I have good news come April!

I am in the waiting impatiently club too!! Although my wait is only 1-2 more weeks!! Feels like FOREVER!!! Our program starts on Feb 27th and Orientation is on Feb 16 so I assume we need to know before that. My application went in Nov. (((hugs))) to all of my fellow waiters ....... Keri
