   Congratulations on getting in! As far as the atop vs evening, I know evening meets tues, wed, thurs 530 to 1030. I think that is alot, esp 3 days a week to walk in your door around 11 pm, but that's my opinion. Alot of people I go to school with work...

   I think you should take nutrition before. I don't care for the professor and the assignments don't make any sense so if you can take it before you get in go for it.

   I did some volunteer in a hospital when I was 16. They didn't let me interact with the patients, it was just paperwork but over the years I helped out with taking care of my grandmother. She fell and broke her hip in 2008. She still needs alot of hel...

   In the atop program there are about 20 of us. There are more in the other programs although I'm not sure what their numbers are. Atop is nice. We're a close group. There are 2 traditional groups, which I don't think you would fall into because you ha...

    I can't tell you anything that has to do with your prior degree and gpa and your chances of getting in because I don't have a degree but the 3.3 is good. They really look at the whole application though and not just your grades and test scores. As fa...

    I am in the atop program. I have a family, husband and 3 children, but I'm lucky because I don't have to work. All of my classmates in atop work and some have families too. It can be done, just have to prioritize. When I came in I had 2 c's from 1996...

    Don't worry they will call. Have hope. Don't be afraid to bother them either. They like to see that you are interested. I called I don't know how many times. MG knew me even before I was accepted, lol. My composite score was 121 I think and i ranked ...

    I don't think they look at your individual scores for each section. I believe they look at your composite score and where your composite score ranks (89th percentile, 90th percentile, etc). Like I said earlier, those who fall in the 95th percentile o...

    Hi aspiring_nursing. I'm currently an ATOP student at BI. I can't really tell you much about the GPA thing cause I really don't know. I know they look at your whole application and determine if you are a good candidate based on everything in your app...

    I'm so jealous! I don't start until Thurs cause I'm in ATOP. I'm super excited too. I can't believe I have made it here. I still feel like I'm in a dream. I thought orientation was great! All the faculty seems super nice and helpful. I really liked t...
