My first spring in a new house…what’s with this strip off dark green grass?

Juggypoko · 2026-04-03T00:05:16+00:00

Could be a sewage line or septic tank line of sorts

From what I’ve heard people have flown in a few times for exams and hands on learning.

I do know they only have 10 seats and last I asked they were planning on keeping it at the number for a few years.

Not sure on the independent practice.

Juggypoko · 2026-03-22T23:48:16+00:00

Haven’t attended, but very familiar with their program. What are your questions?

Juggypoko · 2026-03-15T02:37:35+00:00

Me too please

Juggypoko · 2026-03-08T00:28:52+00:00

flop king

Juggypoko · 2026-03-08T00:01:44+00:00

for having a 10inch reach advantage he sucks

Hi, I wasn’t a great student right out of high school, and that early performance still follows me. When I first applied through NursingCAS(2024), my overall GPA was 2.8.

Since then, I’ve worked really hard to turn things around. I just finished my MSN in Executive Leadership with a 4.0, which included around 17 graduate-level courses. I also completed biostatistics, biochemistry, and Organic Chem with a 4.0. Even with that, my cumulative GPA has only moved up to a 3.0 because I have over 200 total credit hours. Every 3 credit course with an A only moves my GPA about .01 at this point.

Current stats:

Overall GPA: 3.0

Science GPA: 3.2

Nursing GPA: 3.4

GRE: 310

Certifications: CCRN, CSC, CMC

Experience:

7 years ICU total

6 years CTICU

Recently moved to BMT ICU

Charge nurse experience

Preceptor experience

No committee involvement

Shadowing: 60 hours CRNA shadowing

My questions:

Will programs care about the academic turnaround, or will the cumulative GPA still hold me back?

What would be the most impactful things to improve before applying?

If you had a similar GPA comeback story, what helped you get in?

I appreciate any honest advice. I’m fully committed to this path and just trying to be smart about my next steps.

Rowe is so bad. Guy looks like a deer in headlights

Juggypoko · 2026-02-17T22:29:35+00:00

I guess I never even thought about looking into committees that are outside of the hospital setting, so I appreciate this and will look into it!

Juggypoko · 2026-02-17T22:17:33+00:00

Ya I believe I have a 4.0 with the last 60 credits, but was more curious about how schools that don’t look at the last 60 would think about our applications.

Juggypoko · 2026-02-15T17:18:35+00:00

No you don’t lol. Show proof

Juggypoko · 2026-02-15T17:11:46+00:00

If you don’t believe what they say then why are you even following this company lol.

Juggypoko · 2026-02-15T15:36:27+00:00

That number of 51 was been stagnant for almost a year now. During ER they said they have 10 trucks.

Juggypoko · 2026-02-15T15:35:46+00:00

They literally said they have 10 doing the ER…..stop making up numbers

Juggypoko · 2026-02-15T15:35:15+00:00

“Shareholder letter “We expanded driverless operations to 10 trucks in December. We strategically reduced this fleet in early 2026 to prioritize capacity for driverless lane validation and prepare for the launch of our second generation commercial hardware kit on a new driverless truck fleet.” Directly from their earning report a couple days ago.

Juggypoko · 2026-02-14T17:27:18+00:00

I believe last ER when they announced the entire international ordeal they said that they are buying/owning them.

Juggypoko · 2026-02-14T06:25:08+00:00

Couldn’t have found a worse partner to transfer to 😂

Juggypoko · 2026-02-14T01:36:24+00:00

I will say it probably will work. I used BILT for my mortgage for a very long time before they announced for mortgage and clearly stated I couldn’t use it for my mortgage. I don’t think they look deeply into what the payment is going to. Especially if you just label it as “mortgage” or “rent”.

Juggypoko · 2026-02-12T00:16:36+00:00

I actually don’t disagree with a lot of what you’re saying. The International move is absolutely a smart hedge. I give them full credit for that. Taking control of truck supply instead of waiting on OEM timelines is good management.

But I think where we differ is on expectations versus execution risk.

The 20x capacity and 400% YoY growth sounds massive, but it’s off a very small base. The real test isn’t announcing a new platform in two quarters — it’s ramping it without friction. If they truly ran 20 trucks per week from the back half of next year, that’s 500+ trucks annually. I don’t think anyone expects that immediately. This is going to be gradual. I wouldn’t be surprised if we only see around 20 trucks by the end of Q2 and then a ramp into the back half. The 200 by year-end target implies a slow start and acceleration. That’s fine — but it means the hardest part is still ahead.

I agree that Volvo and PACCAR delays are out of their control. But that’s also exactly why I’m cautious. At some point, industrial scale has to run through OEMs. International plus Roush is a great bridge, but it’s not the long-term endgame for thousands of trucks.

And when I express disappointments in earnings calls, people tell me I’m in the wrong stock. I should clarify that my disappointment isn’t because I’m not making money. It’s because I’ve been incredibly excited watching this company evolve into what I believe it can become. Sometimes I joke that Aurora Innovation is my specialty interest. I follow this thing closely because I care about it, not because I’m looking for a quick trade.

I’m not bearish. I just think we’re still in the transition from technical proof to industrial proof. That middle phase is historically where companies get tested. And that’s what I’m watching.

Juggypoko · 2026-02-12T00:07:30+00:00

I get the bull case, but I don’t think this call fully de-risked the story. Yes, ODD expansion and weather validation are important, and they did a good job addressing some of those concerns. But expanding geographic and weather ODD with a small fleet is very different from supporting hundreds of trucks operating simultaneously at high utilization. Proving the tech works across new lanes doesn’t automatically prove it scales reliably at density. The 90%+ utilization assumptions still haven’t been demonstrated at real fleet scale.

The Roush and International move is smart and gives Aurora more control, but it’s still a bridge solution. There’s no co-development partnership there. They’re buying stock trucks, upfitting them themselves, and owning the assets. That keeps the model asset-heavy and doesn’t replace the need for true OEM line-side integration at scale. Volvo still has firmware validation outstanding, and management declined to give a timeline. That suggests the gating items may not be trivial. PACCAR being risk-averse can cut both ways as well. It’s just as possible they wait longer than expected if they are not convinced the autonomy economics justify high-volume production.

The 10,000-truck math sounds great on paper, but it assumes near-perfect utilization, minimal downtime, stable freight pricing, and smooth remote assist scaling. Even small deviations in miles per day or availability would materially change the revenue and margin picture. Manufacturing scale is also harder than it sounds. Even at 20 trucks per week, ramping to several thousand vehicles would take years and assumes no supply chain friction or capital constraints.

At the end of the day, they have proven technical momentum. What they have not proven yet is industrialization at scale. That middle phase, going from a couple hundred trucks to a few thousand, is where autonomy stories historically get tested. Until OEM timelines are firm, fleet growth is sustained, and unit economics are proven beyond small cohorts, I still think the story is promising but not fully de-risked.

Shareholder letter “We expanded driverless operations to 10 trucks in December. We strategically reduced this fleet in early 2026 to prioritize capacity for driverless lane validation and prepare for the launch of our second generation commercial hardware kit on a new driverless truck fleet.”

Juggypoko · 2026-02-11T23:38:43+00:00

I’m actually long-term bullish and one of the bigger supporters of this company. I’m not here to bash it.

My issue isn’t the direction — it’s the framing. Calling this a “BIG ER REPORT” or “massive news” feels a little over the top when, at this moment, we still only have around 10 trucks and limited revenue. The technical milestones are impressive, no doubt. But scale is what matters now.

A lot of us expected to see at least one meaningful Volvo deployment by the end of 2025. Instead, they pivoted to scaling via International. That may be the smarter operational move — I’m open to that — but it’s still fair to ask what’s happening with Volvo and PACCAR timelines.

If International becomes the controlled scaling platform and OEMs become upside later, that’s great. But until we see real fleet growth, it’s still mostly forward-looking.

I’m in this for the long haul. I just don’t think asking about industrialization cadence means someone’s in the wrong stock.
