That's not true

While you have to apply by march 31 to the program you have until June 1 to submit proof of completing all prereq courses. That means you have this summer, fall, and WINTER to take that chem class and that micro class in order to apply to Wayne for fall 2009. Although now they give preference to students who complete all courses or their science courses at Wayne, there are still several students who do all their prereqs at community colleges (but granted you probably need a more competitive GPA)

Hope that helps keep your options only. It can't hurt to take more classes-- and even if you don't go directly into the BSN program at Wayne if you decide to get your associates you already have them out of the way if you ever want to do RN to BSN.

Good luck!

I was referring to getting in for fall 08, so that wouldn't be an option now right? I will definitely be called for the HFCC prgram by next fall but since all my classes have been completed and I was recently laid off, I was hoping to get into a program sooner. Do you know how many credits wayne state lets you transfer over?

Oh whoops sorry I guess I read it wrong. That's what I get for skimming....

Wayne will let you transfer up to 60 credits from a community college I believe and unlimited credits from 4 year institutions. Hope that helps -- just be sure that they'll be the right classes before you expend the time, money, and effort to take them. You can check on wayne's website-- transfercredit.wayne.edu --enter the school you attended and they will tell you the wayne course equivalent if any for your courses. You can also look at the transfer plans for specific community colleges that list which courses fulfill the gen ed requirements.

From what I have looked at it seems they let you transfer 60 credit and then give you 30 credits for nursing classes. so you start with 90 credits. only 30 something left then.
