Wallace or Jeff State????

Well I went to Wallace for my pre-reqs this spring but I start Jeff State's nursing program on Monday. I chose Jeff State over Wallace due to the smaller class size and the reputation of the program. My aunt went to Wallace and absolutely loved it and I have never heard a negative thing about it. I live in Vestavia so the commute was a huge factor. Personally, I wasn't sure if I had enough points to get into Jeff State and Wallace is a lot easier to get into. At Wallace the cut off is around 160 and at Jeff State like 186-7. Wallace also accepts around 200 whereas Jeff State only takes like 50. So for me, I wanted a smaller class size and I was tickled to get into both programs and have the opportunity to choose! Good luck with the application process!! I'm sure you'll be very happy at either school!

BTW... The application. Process has been a pain! Seemed nearly impossible to get all my transcripts!!! Couldnt get anybody to do their jobs ha! I had to requests transcripts from different school like 3 and 4 times and call every day for almost 2 weeks... Actually had to go to my high school and pick them up because they kept telling me they were mailed and I would never receive them! Ya.... Pain! But it will all be worth it if I get in!!! :)
