I'm waiting to hear if I got into Inver Hills. I have a 3.0 GPA (not great, I know) B's in my sciences, all pre-req's done. I've been a Nursing assistant at Childrens Hospital for 7 years, and have military experience as a med tech where I did IV's, Blood draws, Started Foley's, NG's ect. (Most nursing stuff -meds.)I have a deployment under my belt as well. I have wonderful letters of recomendation and included a resume and list of tasks I was signed off of in the Air Force. My biggest down fall is my compleation rate. I had changes in major before I knew I wanted to do this for sure, as well as financial and personal hardships (mom had Cancer). I have never read that compleation rate was a factor, but I'm really worried about it. I can't stand the waiting, and I'm really hoping to get in for the Fall. I hear there is more weight on experience, which is what I'm banking on. What do you guys think my odds are?

I think your experience gives you a good shot, but you will just have to wait and see. The waiting can be hard, but even if you don't get in the first time you should try again, it simetimes takes a few times of applying to get in so don't give up. I wish you the bet and hope you get in when you want to.
