NYU accelerated BSN. Any hope?

U.S.A. New York

Published

I have already have a BA but my GPA is very low only a 2.3. I am going back to school to take the nursing prereqs. If I do well in my nursing prereqs and have good recommendations and volunteer at a hospital do you think that I could be admitted to the program? Even if I do well in my prereq classes I know that it won't raise my gpa very high but I hope that they will mostly focus on those classes.

NYU accelerated is a very competitive program to attend, let alone getting into the program first. I would say get A's in every pre req to show that you are serious about nursing and then apply... have you considered applying at other institutions?

hope this helps

Yes, I have considered other institutions. NYU is just my number one choice. Do you know if I have to apply to the accelerated program or can I enter as a transfer student in the traditional program even though I already have BA?
