When Will I Know?!?!?

Published

Okay I am expecting an acceptance/rejection letter anytime now and i am sooooo antsy. What i would like to know is, is there a certain type of envelope an acceptance letter comes in and a certain one a rejection letter comes in? I dont want to expect to get accepted and then open up and read the letter and actually read that i was rejected. So can anybody out there shed some light on this matter?

Where did you apply and please do let us know if you get in our not.

I love these posts.

wow what a process

If you think that was a lot, imagine the 18 ITEMS due in the next few months for school — immunization forms, cpr card, health insurance, physical, drug test, and on and on and on. It's crazy! And it's a crazy I hope you get to experience for yourself soon enough! Let us know what you find out!

My acceptance letter was a one page paper in a regular envelope. We will be getting our large packet at orientation.

Ours was the same way. Got a one page letter in a regular white envelope. At orientation we ended up with a stack of papers.

omg i would've died when i seen the exact same envelope again i would've been thinking i got rejected again!!! congrats though i cant wait until i finally get that acceptance letter in my hands. How did you get a scholarship btw? did you apply for one? or was it given to you? congrats on that as well!!

That's why I sat there for 10 minutes debating whether or not to open the letter, haha! I was just given the scholarship based on my GPA. I needed to maintain above a 3.0. I also applied for other scholarships during my program. Our secretary was awesome and great at letting us know about funding and scholarships! I just graduated May 5th. Don't be discouraged. It took me a while to get into a program. I was originally from California and it's an average 2-4 years because of program impaction. I ended being placed on a couple wait-lists while living there along with a couple rejection letters. I was also in a bad relationship where my Ex was holding me back from school. Once I ditched him, I moved to Pennsylvania and got accepted instantly! It was a total godsend!

I know the cc I'm currently at sends big packages to the accepted students and a small envelope to the non-accepted students.

Now, the university I applied to.. I don't know. I'm just going to be hoping for a thick envelope. What's bad is we have to apply to the program.. Wait to get accepted, then those who qualify- which I'm one of them- have to apply to the

Nursing course sequence and wait until orientation- sometime in august- to find out I we get to do it. That's going to be a killer! I won't know until the end of June. Good luck!!

Acceptance letters come in green envelopes. Rejection letters come in red envelopes. Duh.

I think you're thinking of college acceptance scenes in the movies where the kid who gets I to Yale gets a giant package full of brochures and forms, and the reject gets a tiny envelope, and we all know who's gotten in before they open them. Mine came in a plain white envelope with about 4 letter sized papers folded in it. I assume the rejection letters were the same, just thinner?

Either way, good luck!

Born and bred in Southern California, Orange County. I moved to Western Pennsylvania two years ago to be with my boyfriend and to start Nursing School. Ugh....pre-reqs, I remember those! California's way of regulating, LOL. I was shocked when I moved to Pennsylvania and they didn't require pre-reqs. Moving here was the best thing I ever did!

Where abouts in Cali are you from? And where are you residing now in PA?

yeah i'll be bummed if do not get in but that will only push my harder to try again next semester! Wow i need to look up scholarships then and talk to the advisors i have not heard anything about nursing scholarships or scholarships in general for this semester yet. (*mental note) Thankfully you got rid of the Ex and kept pushing for NS congrats on graduation and goodluck with the NCLEX
