Accelerated BSN

Hello,

I am currently a student at Florida State earning a degree in Psychology. Along with that, I am taking the nursing pre reqs. How would it look if majority of them are completed at a community college? Will it hurt my chances? Ideally I want to go to UF for their accelerated BSN program. I am a junior now with a 3.915 GPA. Thanks!

    I have an ABSN from FSU. I don't think it matters where your credits are from. What matters are your grades, GRE (for UF), and your resume/essay.

    The majority of my undergrad degree was completed online and I got in to 3 of the 4 ABSN programs I applied to. It doesn't matter where you get the credits. Your GPA right now is awesome.

    Nursing schools are competitive, but they're not nearly so competitive that they would weed out applicants with stellar GPAs based on quality of schools where grades were received (excluding technical and pay-to-graduate schools). And if you're going to a cc near the area of the university where you're applying, chances are that they know and appreciate the standards of that cc. If your grades are good for your pre-reqs and overall (because it would definitely hurt if you had good grades in pre-reqs at a cc but went to a four-year school and tanked), I think you'll have a pretty good shot of getting in. :D
