Simmons Collete Accelerated BSN

Is anyone attending this program or considered it? I would like to know what the acceptance rates are. I've applied for this program (the only program i applied for), and am understandably worried that there's a possibility I won't get in (der):) I felt pretty confident bc I have almost all of the pre-reqs (short one), have over 6 months of volunteerism in a clinical setting, and some pretty good letters of recommendation. I was reading on here that for the direct entry MSN, they accept 80 out of 250, but the since the accelerated BSNs and direct-entry MSNs complete the same program during the first 1.5 years, it seems that they would have to split the people they accept between the two programs. That means my chance of getting in is even smaller, right?

Ok, so I was just wondering if anyone has any info about this program, and their acceptance rates and all that . . .

Thanks!

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone had a response to my concern...I wanted to get into the direct entry program at simmons college and want to take some pre-reqs there...I took chem in my freshmen year of college but got a C+ so i was wondering if I took the course again and received an A would they hold it against me for taking the course twice? Any response would be awesome :)

Hi everyone,

I am really interested in applying to Simmons for the direct entry program, however my husband and I are not sure where we will end up after his post-doc ends in 1.5 years. That being the said, I am looking at stand-alone accelerated BSN programs (without the direct entry into the masters program). I am a bit confused by Simmons website regarding the existence of the ABSN. It is not clear to me that the accelerated BSN is offered by itself. The reason I am replying to this thread is because it sounds like the program mentioned above is an 18 month accelerated BSN program at Simmons. Is there one? If so, how do I get to it?

Thanks so much everyone!
