Boston College Pre-Req - Life Sci Chem?

Heyy,

I was just accepted to the BC masters entry program and had a similar question. I guess you can just take orgo and that is sufficient for the life science chemistry component. Have you been accepted as well? If you have been, are you going? I havn't seemed to find anyone else on this forum whose gotten into/going to BC for next fall!

I took Anatomy at Regis too! I took it with Dr. K. and now I'm taking A&P II at Mass Bay since Dr. K's A&P II class coincided with the Micro class I have to take. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the orgo. I heard Salem State doesn't have prerequisites for orgo, and I know some online programs don't have prereqs like ccconline. I'm going to call BC and ask if they have like a list of classes at different schools that theyll accept, and I'll let you know if I get an answer.

So where are you from? Are you going to be moving around the BC area? I think I may start looking soon. What is your background in? Sorry for all the questions but your the first person on these forums i've met whose going to BC! I just graduated from Providence College last May and am going for the FNP track.

Ahhh this is so exciting! haha. Where abouts in Boston do you live right now? I just moved home to Canton, MA since I graduated last May and have been working as a clinical research coordinator in Wellesley. I am saving up some money from home so I can move right near campus (I want to live close to campus since the program is super intense). I am going to find a realtor as well. Who are you moving in with? My major a Providence College was psych, and I didn't even think nursing was a choice for me until I shadowed once my senior year during an internship.

Nursing is such an exciting field and we are so lucky to be accepted to this program!! From what I've heard from family members/friends is that BC is thought very very highly of , and apparently its pretty hard to get into. I can't believe that we will be NPs in just 2 years!

Oh ya and as for the cccolonline classes, you should really look into them. they have lab kits that they actually send to your home home (they are 4 credit classes). I know BC has accepted its micro and a&p in the past from ccconline and you should check out the chemistry (by looking at the class description - i think it says it does some organic chemistry is taught for the intro to chem). i'm pretty sure you can just go to ccconline.com and check it out!

Did you apply/get into anywhere else? I've gotten into Columbia as well, but i think BC is a better program. I'm still waiting on Yale, MGH, and Northeastern, but the only school I may consider over BC is Yale, so we will see. BC is at the top of my list for now!

Oh ya, and my actual screen name for aim is suga70, so I may be IMing you sometime!

hey guys! i also got into BC for fall 2009. I was wondering if you guys could share with me why you think BC is better for you than Columbia. I'm kind of deciding between the two and would love to hear any insight you guys might have. I'd really appreciate it!! Congrats to you guys as well!!
