Has anyone been accepted to VCU?

U.S.A. Virginia

Published

I applied to VCU's traditional BSN program and will find out if I got accepted mid march. I thought I would be more relaxed after I actually applied but I am so nervous now because all I can do is wait! Does anyone know how they tell you if you got accepted or not? Do they only send out a letter telling you or is through email too?

Also, does anyone know what a good GPA and ACT score is considered? - like what scores/GPA would give you a likely chance of getting accepted? I have no idea what my chances are and I want to have realistic expectations when that letter comes (if it comes).

Hi, I am new to this website, but I just got accepted into the nursing program as a sophomore for next fall too! I didn't know it was as competitive as only 30 people getting accepted.

But anyways, I wanted to help you out with housing. Honestly, if possible try to live in an apartment or a house with people. It is sooooo much cheaper than the dorms. I live on W Broad Street... the main street in Richmond, it is right by our Basketball arena. I have 2 other roommates and one is moving out, if you still are looking for a place to stay, I think I will have an opening. Or on the other hand, if you found a place and are looking for roommates I can help you out with that as well.

Cathylady-- I play for the Women's Soccer team at VCU, do you have any idea how flexible the classes are? Teachers do tend to help the athletes out, but I am talking strictly about the class times.

Allenaa,

Congratulations!! I do have to correct myself about the 30 accepted, VCU accepted 38 which still is incredible considering probably over 300 applied to the program if not more.

I don't know how flexible the classes are, but I'm sure your nursing adviser will be able to help you out.

The best to you and again, congratulations.

Cathylady- I found your daughter on facebook and added her. She was very helpful! I'm sure I will be asking her many more questions as it gets closer to the fall. Thank you again!

allenaa - I am looking for a place to live. Are you definitely going to be looking for a roommate in the fall? I heard that the student housing is really hard to get because it is limited and I don't want to end up in a freshman dorm because I live in an apartment now where I go to school and it would be hard to readjust to living in a dorm room haha. Is your apartment furnished? How much is rent/utilities for you? I can give you my email if you wanted to talk through that??

I read that you were on the VCU soccer team - that's awesome! I lived in Germany when I was in high school and played on my school's team and a german club team. I lived there during the 2006 world cup which was really cool too. I like finding people who play soccer because where i am now (the midwest) its not that popular.

Yes my apartment is fully furnished. And all utilities included as well as internet, washer & dryer, and direct TV [with HBO :)] Currently I pay $400 (did a little deal making haha), but rent is going up this coming august to probably $575. So it's still a really good price for all that we get. It is a 3 bedroom apt on the first floor, no other apartments on that floor.

Here is the website to the complex; and yes the apartments do really look like the pictures. They are really nice.
