UPMC Shadyside pre-amission courses

How long ago did you take the courses? You might be able to transfer some of the credits.

I don't think those classes are any that would transfer. Even though you have your sciences from the high school level, you may still have to take them once you get into Shadyside. I don't think that they will count towards your nursing ed. As far as the ccac classes go, none of the ones you mentioned are part of shadyside's curriculum, so it probably wouldn't matter. However, if you put it on your application that you went there, they will make you get the transcript. Good luck!

I took classes at community college (not CCAC) prior to enrolling at Shadyside. The only classes that transfer are the classes that are part of Shadyside's curriculum (A&P 1 and 2, micro, logic, nutrition). If you took other classes, it might look great for your transcript or GPA, but Shadyside really doesn't care about those other classes. As far as those classes helping you in the future with a BSN, depends where you go for your BSN. I am going to Chatham and they don't require any gen ed classes at all for a BSN. Basically, I ended up wasting a handful of classes, which sounds like what will happen to you if you choose the Shadyside route.
