Towson University Sp 2013 BSN

U.S.A. Maryland

I am applying to Towson's nursing program for spring 2013 and am SUPER nervous. I have a 3.71 GPA but my advisor told me that may not be good enough :/. My parents told me I should apply to UMB @ shady grove as a back up but I don't want to transfer because I LOVE Towson University and can't afford UMB tuition. Has anyone here been accepted into TU nursing? If so how do you think my chances are? Should I apply to back-ups? Thanks!

Which I think it should be GPA at TIME OF APPLICATION!

I agree!

Here is some helpful info from Mrs Necker for those of you on the wait list or not accepted :

- We received approximately 200 applications for 72 spots for the spring program at Towson.

- The average Cumulative GPA of admitted students is a 3.498, the average Science GPA of admitted students is a 3.540 and the average TEAS score is a 79.66%. The applicant pool was extremely competitive. The combination of the cumulative GPA, science GPA and TEAS score are important.

- The admissions committee heavily evaluates the above academic factors when making admission decisions. Additional admission factors include trend in grades, number of repeated courses, a large number of prerequisites remaining and grades in previous nursing courses if applicable.

I met with Mrs. Necker this morning and it clarified a LOT! Not that it made me feel any better (actually worse since I had my GPA totally wrong!), but at least I am a bit clearer on how things are done.

She did tell me that YES, there are males who have been accepted (didn't ask for a number) and YES, there are some who in the past have been accepted, but denied admission to the university.

She truly is a great person to talk to!

Well, I've noticed that a few people that got accepted into Towson were accepted to UMSON so I'm sure more slots will open for Towson waitlisted students. :up:

Has anyone heard anything from B.Necker?

Has anyone heard anything from B.Necker?

I haven't ;*(

I was waitlisted and I just got a call today from Brook Necker letting me know that a spot opened up for me in the spring.

I received a phone call as well, but I was too afraid to answer it...and a voicemail wasn't left :-(. Congratulations TUTiger!! Are you ecstatic or what?! Tell me, did you scream?!

Pretty much. I was beyond excited. I wasn't expecting her to call at all. She did leave a voicemail because I didn't pick up the first time and asked me to give her a call back.

Congrats TUtiger! I was called as well.

Congratulations!
