[i know with my lack of HCE and good, but not too competitive GPA, that I had a small chance of getting in anywhere. I am thankful to everyone who helped critique my essay and gave interview advice! If I hadn't gotten in this year I was just going to work full time as a CNA to get more HCE and maybe take a class or two to up the science GPA. I am very excited to see that all the PTO time I used from work for shadowing and my CNA course helped! WOO Hofstra 2012!]
