A-BSN acceptance rate?

Hello!

If anyone would care to share their experiences applying for A-BSN programs in SoCal it'll be greatly appreciated! What are the chances of getting into the A-BSN program? Am I at a statistical disadvantage since I am a male? What schools have best clinical instructors?

I am currently on my last semester of my undergrad.

I am 22 years old male (hopefully this doesn't hold me back)

I will get my BS in Kinesiology/Exercise Science with a 3.46 GPA.

Dean's list about 4 semesters, but I messed up during my freshman and sophomore years.

Have 3 reliable mentors/bosses with PhD for letters of rec.

I did NAT through ARC and became a CNA.

I have about 100 hours of internship/volunteering at clinics and convalescent home.

Thinking of doing COPE program or TCAB @ cedar sinai.

I have all A's in my nursing science pre req except physio I got a B :/

I have yet to take microbio over the summer

Proficient at reading EKGs. took the elective during my undergrad did well.

I also worked and trained special populations with adapted physical activity for 1 year.

I am thinking of getting a EKG tech cert since I really liked the class and if it'll help with applications. Also I am thinking of getting an EMT cert to improve my chances! Not sure if ill get accepted any tips on how to improve applications will help out!

Thanks!
