Hi you all, sorry to intrude on this post, but how in the world is a 3.7 GPA not good enough?!?! That is pretty high. I'm looking to apply to NYU BSN/MS program or even Pace's, and I'm worried now that I'll need ALL A's on my pre-reqs to even be accepted :O

If you don't mind me asking, what is your GPA? NYU is competitive, but they accept a larger class then some other schools. In my case, my prerequisites averaged a 3.70. Most RN programs @ BMCC only look at grades and do not look at the whole picture.

I was told by the recruiter @ PACE that you must at least have an 1100 on your GRE as well as other contributing factors. I'm not sure how many people they admit to the program. The spring semester may be less competitive in both schools.

I'm sorry I got a little ahead of myself. I just started college classes today for summer session. My high school gpa was only 3.53, I don't have a college GPA yet. And I made a mistake on PACE's program.... I didn't know you needed a prior degree to apply :/ I guess they're out of the question now

BTW awesome GPA!

Hi,

I'm going to apply for the Spring 2010 accelerated program at Pace University at Pleasantville, NY. I have a law degree from University of Florida with a 3.11 GPA. I plan on taking the MAT in August. I'm taking the pre-reqs at a community college this summer and fall. Would like to hear from anyone applying or who has already been accepted into this program. Is there a minimum GPA?

Why are you taking the MAT? Pace Requires the GRE. I'm planning to apply if my other school does not work out. Min GPA is 3.0, and min GRE is 1100. Also for your prerequisites, make sure you have an avereage of at least 3.0.

Pace takes either the MAT or the GRE. I'm taking the MAT because I'm better at verbal than math, so I think I can get a higher percentile ranking with the MAT.

Hi Mark,

So, the MAT is more verbal-friendly, in your opinion? I may have to consider that, although I am scheduled to take the GRE. FYI, the admissions rep from Pace told me that the average GPA for students accepted into this program is 3.4 (including prerequisites).

Also, I attended an information session, and the reps there seemed very excited about current and past students who had rather unique backgrounds and/or outstanding performance in another field. This may be the case with you and your law background, so I would play that up in your application (personal statement portion).

Keep in touch, and let us know how the process is going!

Also, for everyone, the rep told me that they do not begin to review apps until September, so regardless of when you apply, you're unlikely to hear from them before that time.

Good luck to all!

Stacy,

Thanks for your reply.

I think that perhaps the best strategy might be to take both the GRE and the MAT, and if you have a significantly better score on one or the other, use that score on your application. Of course, the people who design standardized tests would claim that your scores on one will be more or less equal to your scores on another, but I'm not so sure.

Good luck to everyone, and I hope to see you in Pleasantville in January!

Mark

P.S. Hey allnurses.com, why is the icon for a nurse (that you can post with your reply) wearing a white cap on her head?

I just sent my application in last week.
Undergrad GPA:3.61
Prereq:5As and 2Bs
GRE:570/Verbal, 660/Math.
Owned my own company for the last 19 years and I am an EMT/Firefighter volunteer. No hospital experience though. Anyone else going to be coming from Nassau County? Would love to carpool.
