MSMC Mount st. Marys College in LA

Hi,

Im new to this site and hope that I can get great advice

I'm applying for mount st. marys college in Los Angeles CA (pre-nursing program) and would like to get some info

I currently have a CNA and working on my MA. I've attended a community college but the past year do to the econmoy and being laid off. I've had a hard time dealing with my class schedules. I had to drop alot of my classes do to the schedule being so sporadic and having to go back to work.

I've done excellent with my CNA and MA courses through American Red Cross and American Career college. Both teachers are going to write my letters of Acedemic's.

I now have a steady job and the time and will to do this program.

1. Will my transcripts through a community college affect my acceptance? even though I've done excellent with my CNA and MA courses. (this is my biggest concern)

2. Which essay is a better choice?

3. How hard is it to get in?

Thank you

Nina
