ECU Alternate Entry Nursing MSN

[Ohemaa-Maamle]

Hello All,

I am graduating with an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I applied and interviewed at ECU for their MFT program and was not offered a seat. I was sad at first, but I figure there were more options out there. My husband suggested that I go to nursing school. So, after alot of thinking, I decided that that track was alright, being that I began my undergraduate career as a nursing major. I think that ECU is a very great school so I looked and found that they have an AE program, which is graduate because I would have been ****** if I had to start again as an undergraduate!

Well, I sent my transcript for review today:lol2: and I will hear back soon. I am NOT driving there again for any info session... that was 12 hours and $300 that I didnt have in the first place. My husband is planning on going there to continue his education so I will be in the area in August. I will have to take more pre-req classes and possibly retake the one I have completed.

Does anyone have any suggestions about application process, MAT/GRE scores, grades?

I feel for you on the new format. I took the old one and am really happy with my first attempt score thank goodness. They had an experimental section with the new math format. It did not look fun (not that any GRE experience is fun). I started to take that section (because you could win $250 if your score most closely matched your real math score), but about 5 minutes into it, I was so burned out from finishing my own test that I decided I really just wanted to find out my own score and get outta there: so I canceled it! Also, I was always a good writer and did well on papers and such, so I made the mistake of not practicing at all for the writing section. I ended up only getting a 4.0, so I highly suggest taking a little time to practice that part.

kenthomas- did you attend the information session yesterday? I was there but I forgot about this conversation so I didn't think to look for you.

Sorry im just getting back to you. I wasnt able to attend the info session due to other commitments, but got my transcript eval back and they initially wanted me to take anatomy II but when i called them to ask about it, they said they would give me credit for what ive done....and i take the gre in a week...

kenthomas- I just realized I never replied to your post. How did your GRE go?

riturathee- have you applied there before? Best wishes to you!

[Kenthomas]

I just took the gre today actually. With the new test it gives the range of your score. I did well on verbal somewhere in the range of 650-700. Math was not so good but not horrible...in the range of between 550 and 600....so hopefully im looking at at least 1200 total. Does anyone know what they require?

Riturathee-hopefully this one will be evaluated fairly! Did you find out any more about why the low stat people got in and we didnt the the other program?

[Kenthomas]

Well i got my gre scores and if i am correct in my conversion from the new scores to old, i got 600 quant, and 590 or 600 verbal, and a 6 on writing, so pretty close to 1200....does anyone know what the average scores of accepted students is? Do i have a shot with these scores?
