the phone meeting with the admissions counselor was useless. they could not and would not tell me exactly why i was denied. however, they were able to give me their statistics and from that i have deciphered that i did not get accepted because:
1) i don't have a master's degree
2) my 3.52 GPA isn't high enough
3) there's something shady going on
okay, so maybe NOT number 3, but damn, it feels like it. i should at least be consoled by the fact that they truly thought my essay was strong (the best part of my application, i presume). but alas, it doesn't give me much comfort. i wish they HAD said, "your writing was atrocious" because my essay could then be edited and strengthen. 'cause you know, i can't exactly travel back in time and get a master's degree. oye vey!!
truly happy i bought the ipod. have been playing coldplay's new single "violet hill" on repeat. chris truly does have a beautiful voice, yes? ;) i am still saddened by coldplay's carelessness in their chosen tour dates/cities. really, boys? no portland, seattle, los angeles, OR san diego dates???? fo shame!!!!!

I find the whole admissions process for Nursing programs very frustrating. On our campus it's a point system, and the higher the GPA (esp. in prep courses) the more points you get. You also get more points if you speak Spanish. Sure these things are important but geez, do straight A's in prep Nursing classes guarantee a better nurse than someone with a 3.3 but passion for what they do? No. I really don't think grades can fully determine who will be a successful nurse.
