admission to 2nd degree/acelerated BSN programs

[blb5103]

Hi everyone- I'm currently applying to accelerated BSN programs - I've heard some programs basically only accept applicants who have a 4.0. I have a bachelors in Kinesiology from Penn State, University Park, with an overall GPA of a 3.3 - I was originally planning on going to PT schools so I have a lot of patient care experience, but as a PT aide, rather than as a nurse aide

Do you think I have a chance to get it? I'm applying to mostly Pennsylvania schools: Drexel, Penn State Altoona, DeSales, Marymount, Salisbury, and possibly Edinboro

My application for Drexel is currently under review

Also, I've found when I post such questions (on other websites) people usually just reply telling me how hard/rigorous ABSN programs are - I'm well aware. I appreciate the insight, but I am confident I can do it. I had a pretty rigorous undergrad and know how to work hard; please, stay on the admissions topic.

Thank you!

Hello,

I have read that you got accepted into penn state for second degree of nursing and you got your health science degree from a different college. I currently go to mount aloysuis and am doing the general science major hoping to start the second degree of nursing in fall of 2015.... But I'm really worried that my classes won't be good enough for penn state.... I was wondering if your classes directly transferred into penn state or if they just looked at the classes you had done regardless if they were a direct transfer into penn state or not??

i have a 3.06 undergrad GPA at penn state altoona. will that be good enough to get into the second degree nursing program there?
