But whats funny is that I know a student that applied with all her pre reqs finished that had an excellent grade point average and was turned down! So there must be other factors going on. Makes me nervous. Plus all I get now are B's.
Hey Fairewand, I saw that you replied to my post on another forum and recommended that I DO NOT become an LVN while on the waitlist for CC programs. Thank you for the excellent advice because I think I will take it.
Anywhoo, I stumbled upon your post on the NU board, because I am taking my prereq's there and also applying to their BSN program. I will be finishing Micro in March, and the rest of their prereqs ( ILR 260, and sociology ) will be complete by the end of May. I probably won't apply until June just so I can catch my breath after all these classes.
I have been a little discouraged to apply because my gpa is a 3.18 in 70 semester units, and it looks like it will be anywhere from a 3.5-3.8 in the prereq's. The problem is, admissions reps have been telling students that the Nursing dept. at NU expects students to test into College Algebra, or Math 12B at the very least. Although I have taken Intermediate Algebra, and Statistics, I do not consider myself capable of testing into College Algebra.
Does anyone else think this could be true, that NU standards could be this high? Are they perhaps just trying to discourage applicants?
