Transfer student to Molloy college

U.S.A. New York

Published

Is anyone in here trying to get into the Molloy BSN program in fall 2013.I am so stressed about this deadelines I sent my application and transcript two days ago now I am just waiting to see what they will say..My question is how hard is it to get into the program and can someone get into the program without completing all of the prerequisites. By the way I took A&P 1 and 2 ( A and B+) chem 1 (B) intro psych (B) sociology( B) I am doing statistic and micro now.. Help please.

I'll put it to you this way: I went into as a transfer student (already have my bachelors) into the regular Undergrad program (not dual degree). Just like the dual degree students, I didn't have to take any gen ed requirements because they were already transferred over. For Dual degree students it will take 3 years. For me (regular undergraduate program) it will take 3 years ONLY because I took summer courses this summer and will be taking summer courses again next year. Dual degree students don't have to take summer courses because the courses are combined during fall & spring semesters. If I wasn't able to take summer courses it would take me 4 years instead of 3. "2.5 years without pre-reqs" is a complete lie. I was told the same thing, and when I actually sat down and went over which courses I needed to take, I realized it will take 3 years and that was with taking FULL TIME COURSES over both summers in a row! Even dual degree will take 3 years MINIMUM without pre-reqs. Don't get tricked by thinking you'll be done in 2.5 years. Molloy only lets you take very few nursing courses at once.

Thanks so much for letting me know. Your response is extremely helpful. I was studying the sample course progression on the website and, yeah, something didn't make sense...

Do you know their policy of traditional BSNs changing to Dual Degree once in the program? Has anyone done this in your year/cohort?

Also - how were the summer classes? Did you take them full time? I concerned about the short time frame and heavy work load.

How do you like the program aside from the time it takes to complete it?

Thank you again!

As far as going from BSN to Dual Degree, you just have to talk to an advisor and they will give you an interview and take it from there. One of my classmates I took a summer class with over the summer did this. Summer classes were full time (I took pharm 1, patho, and fundamentals (the first clinical class) )...... this is a very large course load. I did this while working 2 days a week at a hospital. 2 days of working a week may not seem like much, but it is WAY too much while taking summer classes. It was an insane amount of information spaced out over 2 months. I got through it though and I am sure you will.... you just have to realize you will have almost no free time. Taking summer classes is definitely worth it though to shave 1 semester off school.

I like the nursing program overall. Some of the advisors are nasty miserable human beings but thankfully I don't have to deal with them anymore since I basically know the gist of the program at this point. I love almost every professor I have had thus far. Some of the Nursing professors at Molloy are extremely intelligent, more so than some doctors out there! They are willing to help you but just watch out for some of them. Use Ratemyprofessor.com when you register for classes.

Overall even though the school is very expensive.... it is one of the best nursing schools on Long Island and I feel as though I've learned so much in the past two years: it amazes me!

Good luck.

My GPA was 3.3 when I applied. As far as an "entrance exam" there is a 20 question math test as I said earlier and a reading/vocab test.

what is the math exam like? I wish Molloy had more info on their site/an info session (as far as I can tell, they don't have nursing sessions, maybe I'm wrong?). Also, what is the admissions process like (I'd be applying to the generic BSN program, not the dual/second degree)? Do I just apply to Molloy as a transfer student and choose "nursing" as my major? Also, how long is the program? I see 3 years mentioned above, is that even with the gen eds and science courses done? Thanks for the help!

Okay reading the Molloy course catalog. Apparently if you take the TEAS prior to admission and get an 80% on the math section, you don't have to take the Molloy math test. Guess I'll aim for that since I'll be taking the TEAS anyway for other schools.

I got an 87 on math and they made me take it...and I didn't get in. It's not hard, but it's a bit of a pain in the ----

Hello everyone I wanted to know what are the prerequisite for Molloy college. So far I took A&P 1 and I got a C+ which isn't great. I also took chemistry for nursing which I got a A- and also general chemistry which I got a C+. What other classes do I have to take and also what is the gpa they require. do they require an entrance exam like the teas?
