College Help

Kingsbourgh & Queensbourgh are 2 year schools.The rest offer a BSN.

Are you on AIM or Yahoo? I'd be happy to chat with you on either one to help you out

Just remember all you can do for the CUNY schools is apply as liberal arts. You can get in and then not get accepted to the nursing program.

No because there are classes you need to take first before you'll get in, unless your like the perfect student with perfect grades and a perfect SAT score, and even the it's rare. And then even if you get into the pre-nursing program doesn't mean you'll get a spot in the clinical section.

Honestly? I'll tell you what I tell everyone I know: stay far away from CUNY. I'm taking my pre-reqs for my aBSN right now in CUNY (my accelerated BSN I have a BS already) and seeing everything I've seen and I'm learning about how they do the nursing programs makes me not want to apply to a CUNY as my "safety" school.

All programs are competitive. I don't know your grades, what your finances look like (can you afford a private school vs. CUNY/SUNY), etc. Your the one that knows that.

CUNY has to accept you as a student. If you apply you will get into at least one, even if it's one of the 2 year ones. I would apply to CUNY no matter what for that reason.

But if you can afford it and have the grades, I'd look at the SUNY (if you don't mind the commute or having to dorm, I'd say Stonybrook) or private as your top choices.

Hey there!
I graduated from high school last year, and now I am going into nursing school! By the end of my junior year, I decided to be a nurse, so I prepared myself with the right classes in high school.

I hope you're still young to take those AP and IB exams. The nursing prerequisites that you can take in high school as college credit via AP/IB exams are:
AP psychology
AP English (either or both)
AP Statistics
AP Chemistry

When I took AP exams and passed them, I was so happy to get a bulk my nursing prereqs out of the way. AP exams that are also helpful are US history, Government, Biology, foreign language, and others. They will help you so much by passing them.

Also, since you are fresh coming from high school, you can take CLEP exams too to test yourself out of some general classes in college. Use these exams to your advantage, especially AP tests.

Good luck!
