Accelerated BSN TAMUCC summer 2019

Published

Hi everyone, I'm going to be graduating this semester with my bachelors in Biology and I plan to apply to the Accelerated BSN program at Texas a&m Corpus Christi. I really hope I get in, but my gpa is pretty low. My overall is a 3.3 and my pre requisite gpa is a 3.4. I do, however, have CNA experience in home health, telemetry, and the NICU. I also have lots of health care volunteer hours.

Does anyone know any inside details about the accelerated nursing program like how many students get accepted, how competitive it is or what you think my chances are? have any of you been accepted and can give me some advice?

The accelerated program isn't requiring the HESI anymore so I can't really make up for my gpa by getting a high HESI score so I'm a little sad about that. I really want to get accepted and I'm going to pour my heart into the personal statement but i feel like so many programs only accept students with stellar stats.. :(

Ohhh but you did receive an interview right? I’m dying to hear if they’re going to offer me one. When was your app verified?

My app was verified in nursingcas on Jan. 24. I imagine the interviews will be going on for a while because they only started yesterday, so I'm sure you still have plenty of time! Good luck to you!!

Questions are easy. Questions that you would expect at a job interview.

Do they ask the famous “tell me about yourself?” Lol that question always gets me because then I’m like..wait, who am I? Haha
