Western Health Sciences - Direct Entry MSN - Fall 2013

Published

I didn't see a thread, so I started one.

I am planning on applying this fall for the Direct Entry MSN program. Anyone else?

Today is a new day! I just sent DM an email - not sure if she will respond. But I will let you guys know ASAP if she does!

And I agree with the others - it has been so wonderful being able to come here for support! This wait has been agonizing! And while my husband tries to understand, I just don't think someone can "get it" unless you are in the process!!

Crossing my fingers that we might hear something - or at least an update, today!!

BeeMama: I'm think of sending an email tomorrow too, if we don't hear anything today!

Maybe if we all send e-mails in the next couple of days they'll realize that they need to at least provide us with SOME information.

I agree that you guys have been awesome to share this horrendous experience with! ;) I'm only half kidding ha! I also agree that NO one except you guys understand what this all feels like. My boyfriend keeps comparing it to getting accepted and denied from undergrad apps...I'm like ITS NOT THE SAME! Stop. You're really, actually, NOT helping! Agh! Haha :)

Or when they say things like, "It's not the end of the world... You can apply again...blah, blah, blah". Just the thought of having to go through this ALL OVER again is horrific. It's as though your stuck in flux, you can make any definitive plans because you don't know what's going to happen over the course of the next six months. They don't understand that it feels like your real life hasn't started yet because you're not in the career you want to be in or studying towards it yet. You're just stuck in a very frustrating place. I called and left a message, hopefully someone gets back to me.

I got a reply - though not at all helpful...

"I'm sorry for the delay in your status. When the admissions office is notified of any status changes, we send them out right away. Until today, I had not received any other status updates besides the few accept letters that went out last week. The admissions committee is working hard considering the high volume of very qualified applicants. This year we received over double the number of applications that we received last year.

Again, I am sorry for the delay and you should receive your status letter very soon."

So she almost makes it sound like others went out today? Not sure by "Until today..." so I don't know what else to make of it. Gah.

I know what you mean! And while I can keep applying, I am running out of time. I am almost 30, am married, have two kids and am currently the bread winner. Quitting work and starting school full time would be a giant change for our life. Trying to plan what schools to apply to, trying to figure out what requirements there are for different schools, with pre-req deadlines and recency requirements. It is just getting to the point where, I want to say "sure, I COULD apply again" - but I am getting burned out on filling out applications, finding classes, spending money to take them when it won't guarantee progress. And for me - it costs $120 for me to gather transcripts to apply to schools + the application fees. I want to be a nurse so badly, and truly feel like that is my calling in life - but there gets to be a point where it just is so hard to press forward. :(

I know what you mean. I'm 31 and will turn 32 just before the program starts :yuck: But, I'm on the opposite end of the kid spectrum. I don't have any yet, which is exactly why I want to get a move on with this! I only have a few years left to have a pregnancy that isn't "high risk" !!!

I feel your pain people this is my second year applying to Nursing schools and last year i was rejected by UCLA, Concordia, and Western, so I took 2 prereqs that I had B's in over to get A's reapplied to UCLA this year got rejected, I applied to CSUF and got rejected, I even applied to community college ADN programs and got rejected. This year I got interviews for both western and concordia and now I am just waiting on CSUN, WESTERN, and Concordia, and it's not looking too good :down:

I just talked to someone from admissions and he said that we should all know our status by the end of the month. The reason given for the extra interviews was people who were given an interview offer, but never received it (went into spam mail, ect) were being given the opportunity to interview, but more acceptances could potentially go out before then.

Yeah, the until today makes me wonder! That email was so vague and kinda just confuses me more.
