2nd Degree WSU or Oakland???

by cjog

Hello All:

After lurking around the boards for awhile I have finally decided to post. I want to pursue a second bachelor's degree and am looking to attend either OU or WSU. I would love to hear from anyone currently in the either program about their experiences; or from anyone who knows anyone in either program etc. Any info is appreciated!

Thanks!

WSU has one of the best ratings in the country for their nursing programs.

utahliz - what 2nd degree program did you just finish? I would be starting in Fall 2007 or Spring 2006, depending on where I go.

I have been leaning toward OU becuase I live closer, it's cheaper and they've been able to give more info than WSU, but I know WSU is a top school. I'm financing this whole thing on my own, and won't be able to work while in the program, obviously.

utahliz~

thanks for replying. i have a bachelors in english from uofm, so that was actually the first school i looked at. i'd love to go back, but i'm a lot closer to ou and wsu now. when you refer to the grading scale, are you talking about the actual program or about them rating you to get into the program? i can't imagine it would be any tougher than uofm. wow - a 70 mile commute! that's amazing. how many hours of sleep do you get a night?

I go to OU's program. You need a 100% to get a 4.0 in the classes you take in the school of nursing. To get in the program, you pre nursing gpa is comprised of 5 pre req classes. The minimum is a 3.0 avg in the 5 main pre req classes. They use a regular scale 4.0 = 90-100% ect. to determine the pre nursing gpa. It is a new program and has had its growing pains.

Wayne is a great program and it is normal for them not to give much info till you get accepted. I think they rank all applicants based on the pre req gpa and the top students get in. When I applied for the class that started last fall you needed over a 3.6 in the 10 pre req classes to get in. They also require a statement letter to go with the application but I don't know how it is weighted.
