Anyone Applying to NGCSU for Fall 2013?

Published

Hello! I just submitted my application to NGCSU for next fall. I'm trying to figure out what typical stats are...I have seen posts from previous years and I am getting discouraged about getting in! I didn't think I needed to take A&P and Micro before the application deadline so I will only have A&P 1 completed by then...I'm trying to figure out if that is going to seriously hurt my chances. I have a BS in Chemistry from NGCSU so I have several science classes but my GPA was low...I really want to go to school there!!!! Does anyone know typical stats for students that are accepted?

Hmmmm.... Wonder why they dropped the amount of spots for the program?

Specializes in Psychiatry.

Heard it was due to faculty shortage.

Probably is due to faculty shortage. A couple of other nursing programs are doing the same

The lower accepted amount has nothing to do with faculty. There is no faculty cuts. I heard it is due to possibly phasing out the ASN program.

Yes, two other people have told me that, but I haven't confirmed it with the department. In any case, I hope that we'll be grandfathered into the BSN program once we get accepted.

Well that's something new. Wonder if they are phasing it out bc of the university consolidation?

That's what I thought, too, but then again, maybe it's because of employers favoring BSNs over ASNs? I know for sure that at least Kaiser hires ASNs.

I attended one of their Information Sessions and it was announced there. Those that are in the ASN program now and those that will be starting in the fall are ok. They will finish as normal and wont be affected. It has nothing to do with the consolidation. Pbco you are correct in saying that employers favor BSN.
