Are you going to stay on campus or stay home and commute? Because if you are willing to go away to school another option is NJ. There are several great school there also.

I hope this helps.

Thanks abu...

To all those skeptics out there...

My good friend got into a accelerated Nursing school with a GPA of 2.7 and got A- on A&P. She had one very strong recommendation letter, and a mediocre essay. So it's not impossible. The school is one of the top nursing schools in NY.. so it's not just some unknown school. For all those who are applying and getting discouraged by this thread.. don't be...

I myself is currently apply and pretty nervous about it, we can nail bite together. /o=

Good Luck to you all!

Your friend was accepted because she earned a high grade in a science class. It would have been an uphill battle if your friend had earned a B or C in this class.

I've taken the MA program at Maric and I feel like somehow I've made a mistake but I'm not sure whether RN program will turn out the same way. I can't afford a 60k mistake. Right now Im not too worried about the schooling...I'm more worried about Maric's reputation and if what my friend said about maric students not being hired is true .

Look into National University, half the price for a bsn, transferrable credits,

I went to Maric for the PCAT program aka thee BIGGEST mistake ever, most of my classmates ended up working as a CNA or not even working at all! As for the ADN program, graduates end up finding a job pretty easily, my sister in law and my close friend attended Maric and are now working RN's. I know where you're coming from when you say you hear bad things, I think one of the reasons being that some of the admission reps there are pretty cheesy and don't have a clue of anything in the medical field...they're the ones "representing" our school and leave a bad impression for those who want to apply...

I actually applied for the ADN there, with a few prereqs out the way so I'm not paying an arm and leg for tuition. Good luck with whatever path you choose...

yup, i know a few people who graduated from Maric and they do land some good jobs after they graduate..
