Anyone applying to the Basic BSN Program at UM Fall 2009??

I went to the little information session they had about a month ago,but they didn't really state the avg GPA. Yes, I am a transfer student,coming from FIU. Where will you be transferring from jmi0886? I believe the sciences and overall the specific pre-reqs for the nursing programs like, human growth, nutrition, anatomy, physiology,chm,biology, stats, etc is what they look at. You must have 60 transferable credits to get in, and those credits have to fall within the criteria( i.e. you have to have a certain amount of credits that fall under "people and society" and other credits that fall under "humanities". Oh and you also need an intensive writing course besides ENC 1101 and ENC 1102. Hopefully we all get in..but what worries me is the cost of tuition!!!!! 33k a year? ...scholarships come our way please.. Chichi9, I think you may have a good chance of getting in, if you're a previous UM student; will you be applying to the Basic or accelerated?

Keep me updated on your application statuses!!! Hope we all get in !

Actually, the FIU program is fantastic, i hope to get in..it's just soo competitive-- they accept 50 students only, and everyone has a high gpa. intensive writing course like what we call at FIU a "gordon rule writing class", for instance my PHI2600 (intro to ethics) is a gordon rule class, so it falls in lieu of the writing class as well as it counts as an arts and humanities. What classes are you taking at FIU...intercultual communications and intro to nursing? I will be taking biology in the summer at miami dade, let me know if you'd like to take it together! Also, I could scan the transfer student worksheet from UM, and send via email if you'd like, to have an idea of what you have left.

Edit: I applied before March 1st...I don't think there is early decision for transfer students...only freshman have a choice of doing that i believe.

I hope you get accepted! You should definitely apply for that full scholarship they offer at UM for the accelerated program.
