Re: Least competitive schools for accelerated BSN or second degree BSN

Finishing up last pre-reqs and should be applying now but time is limited and I really don't have a CLUE where to apply. I feel like my research leads to dead ends. For example a school sounds good but then they have a couple different pre-reqs all the other schools didn't have or the school is too expensive or today found out the number one program I wanted to get into is fairly new and has an extremely high drop out rate and failing rate and it is a second degree BSN program.

So now I plan to scratch that plan and I took a specific pre-req just for that school. It was the one I really wanted but not with the news I got today.

So I feel like I have taken steps backwards rather than forwards. Still searching for suggestions and ideas.

By the way, how would I find a list of schools that focus on TEAS rather than GPA. I did 92.7 % and was in the 99th percentile so I wanted to look for schools that don't emphasize GPA but focus on TEAS scores.

I think with a 3.3 you should definitely be able to get in somewhere. People have gotten into 2nd degree programs w/ much less.

I know that University of Ariz and Northern Ariz University, UF, and UMass Boston all only look at your most recent classes/pre-reqs.

Unfortunately my pre-reqs match the rest of my GPA or maybe a tad bit lower. I was a French major and I am strugling a bit with classes like Micro. PLus I was working FT and going to school FT which was kind of stupid.
