1. Oakland University - ABSN GPA Question

   xadunzo replied to LSMM's topic in Michigan

   Yes, EJCL is right. I mixed up two independent conversations. As long as your gpa is over a 3.0, you have a shot. Grades are looked at but they also look at other things such as university credits, previous healthcare experience, goal statement, inte...

2. Oakland University - ABSN GPA Question

   xadunzo replied to LSMM's topic in Michigan

   My undergrad gpa was a 3.4. Prereqs were a 3.5. I had zero experience. I talked to the former director of the program and she told me that as long as you have over a 3.0, they don't even look at your gpa. I had a 2.5 in anatomy/physio. I don't think ...

3. No Worker Left Behind

   xadunzo replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan

   Before I started the ABSN program at OU, the Oak Park branch came to OU and had a meeting. They specifically said to go through them as they don't make you jump through all of the loops as other branches. I have spent less than 2 hours total with the...

4. No Worker Left Behind

   xadunzo replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan

   I'd highly recommend going through the Oak Park office. Within the last two weeks, I just picked up one of my vouchers for school, as did many of my classmates. I received 10k broken into 3 installments, one for each semester: Spring, Fall and Summ...

5. Oakland University ABSN

   xadunzo replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan

   Hi guys, I'm currently in the program, will graduate August 10. I just skimmed through the earlier posts, so I'll try to cover what I can recall. I had to wait about 9 months after I had found out I was accepted to the program to actually start. M...

6. Hey, Oakland University students!!!

   xadunzo replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan

   My interview essay ended up being pretty similar to my personal statement. The question they gave me asked me to define critical thinking and explain how I used it to decide I wanted to pursue a career in nursing.

7. Hey, Oakland University students!!!

   xadunzo replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan

   I had a 3.5 with one retake. I was told by Dr. Penprase that as long as you have over a 3.0, you have a fair shot as they don't sort by GPA. They look into a variety of different things: GPA, interview, personal statement, experience, etc. And jus...

8. Hey, Oakland University students!!!

   xadunzo replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan

   There are a few reasons I chose OU's accelerated BSN program. The first being that they accept during all three semesters and their program is only 12 months long. That is a pretty big upside when, for example, Wayne State only accepts in January a...

9. Hey, Oakland University students!!!

   xadunzo replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan

   Christinajoy, I am not yet allowed to respond to PMs. I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you so I thought I'd respond here. I started my personal statement explaining why and how I made my decision to go into nursing. In that section, I g...

10. Hey, Oakland University students!!!

    xadunzo replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan

    Hey guys, I just randomly found this forum. I, too, have been accepted into the September 09 second degree program. I'm currently just taking nutrition and patho, shouldn't be too bad. And in response to why some people had interviews and others ...
