A list of schools that only look at Prereqs

Nursing Students General Students

Published

A bunch of people have looked for schools that only look at prerequisites usually because we are older and our grades only reflect our desire to complete our first degree. There were no specifics to help, just someone saying to go look for it. So I thought I would ask everyone, and start a list of schools people know about that could help a lot of us. A database of school info for "prereq only" is a perfect tool for this website. Start up other lists such as Low GPA or Private Schools :) I tried to line up the answers for easy comparison shopping :) but auto formatting keeps screwing with the text . CHEERS anyway

I would also love to see this in all states. I live here in the Midwest and Baker University in Topeka Kansas looks at only your pre-req GPA Also Linfield in Portland Oregon looks at your nursing pre-req GPA. Any one else??

"prereq only" school name: boise state university

adn/asn, bsn, or msn and or accelerated: bsn city:boise state: id

waitlist, yes or no: no

tests, hesi, teas, etc: none

lowest gpa possible: all pre-reqs gpa average of 3.0 in math/science prereqs and c or better in other prereqs

# of classes and list of prerequisites needed: http://nursing.boisestate.edu/programs/docs/admission%20criteria.pdf

amount of general edit credits: 63- 41 in first 3 semesters the rest throughout the 8 semesters

spots available: about 60 twice a year

usual # of applicants: about 100-200 i'm told

lowest gpa accepted last year for admittance: i think 3.4 in gpa prereqs (2 a&p, chem, math)

tuition (needs to be added i think)-

also 10 seats reserved for lpn's that meet minimum 3.0 average in science and math classes and c in other prereqs.

best part is that if you get an a in a&ps, chem, and math you are basically gaurunteed a spot (usually even if you get a b in one class, 2 bs and you are competing) with a c in the rest of the required courses.

I can tell you that some of your info on Ivy Tech is wrong. They have just recently changed the admission standards and have made it harder to get in. A&P 1 and 2 are weighted heavier than Eng and Psych. They moved to the Teas V (which I think everyone did though.) I'm also pretty sure that there is more than 100 people that apply. I know it varies from campus to campus but pretty sure that it's more. Also it's like 40-50 spots. Just depends on how many clinical spots. As for the lowest GPA, most people don't get in with anything less than 4 A's, again depends on campus. I got in with 3 A's and a B and an 88 on the Teas but I got lucky. Hope that helps! :)
