VCU ABSN Summer 2014 Hopefuls!

[alliegem]

Hey everyone!

I'm semi new to this site and was curious if there is anyone else out there in the application process for VCU's accelerated BSN program to start in May 2014. I've started my application, but haven't turned it in, yet. This is the only program I want to go to! I don't know if I can wait until the end of January to get a decision!!!!

I finished my degree in Biology in May 2011 and I've been working in NOVA at a fast paced medical office ever since. Also, I've taken all of my pre-reqs except for A&P I and II (starting A&P I in a few weeks), but just a bit concerned about my grades/GPA from undergrad. I meet all of the requirements thus far, but not sure if it will be enough. Anyone else having similar concerns?

Also, would love to hear from any current VCU ABSN students - what were your stats like when applying, how do you like the program, etc.

Hi Allie,

I applied to the ABSN program for 2015 and just got the email that I am wait listed. I see from your cohort that at least four people on the wait list got in. Do you know how many total?

Hey nfc,

I am not sure of the total number pulled, but it was around ten people, maybe a few more. Being number three is great, though! I was in your shoes last year and I remember how upset I was and how nerve racking it was. Try and stay positive and keep pushing through. I believe it took about two weeks for me to find out I was accepted - and I was in the first group of people that were pulled from the wait list.

I hope this helps and I really hope to see you in May!
