thanks! :)

AllRhi8: I got the e-mail from Daniell Mendoza yesterday.. I'm really surprised they're accepting from the waitlist so early. I'm thinking there's a good chance that they're going to accept a lot of people from the waitlist then... I really hope you get in!!

as27: yeah I'm from southern california... I'm not that far from the campus I guess because I live in buena park... so I'm contemplating whether to commute or not :/..

Peengk: Congratulations again! If I do get excepted this year.. we should carpool :p im from Cerritos!

as27: this is the only grad school I applied to... I applied to 2 AccBSN, but Ive decided to turn them down because I rather wait a year (if I don't get in this year) and go straight for my masters. Next time I'll try other schools, but I didn't think my application was strong enough. Hopefully I'll get in so I can join you guys :)

TO Pauliegirl- I was directly accepted into western university, I have a bs degree in biology and a minor in chem. In addition to that I have done a lot of volunteer work with people with Hiv and working in a free clinic where I was trained to to educate, draw blood, and give vaccines, and I'm a CNA. I know that the key to getting into a lot of these sort of nursing programs is to have direct patient care experience as a volunteer. It shows a previous committment to this field and wanting to be involved in it that schools usually look at the most.

To everyone attending Western’s MSN-E program starting Fall 2009, someone started a facebook group called “Western University of Health Sciences – Nursing Students – Entering 2009” Hope to see you all there! :)

Hi guys! I'm in the program now and was on the wait list last year. I kept my file current; vaccinations, CPR, etc. I also kept on them. I was on the phone just about once a week asking about open positions. I received an email first asking me to join c/o 2012 and I sent my deposit in right away. I know of several other people in my class who were on the wait list too. It happens!

I didn't get accepted till May. May 8th to be exact. They will accept till the week or two before school starts. I called, faxed, etc. I really kept up on everything. Vaccines, CPR, etc. I was in weekly contact with them. I don't know if my persistence helped, but when I interviewed they said that if you were placed on the waitlist, to keep your application active and keep up to date on all that stuff. I did. Valeria is right that there will be movement. They don't tell us current students what's going on, but I know that a lot (5?) of my classmates and I were on the waitlist and we got in. Call them and be politely persistent. Keep your application up to date. Pray. I had given up hope and made plans for the next year of my life. I had come to terms with not going to school and then that week I was accepted.

Oh! Also, I knew I was ready to go, so I also had my deposit set aside and sent in the check the next day. Be ready for that too.
