APU High Desert Program (Two plus Two)

Ready4theAction · Nov 15, 2011

Hi!

I just found out that I was accepted for Spring 2012 semester. It is an awesome program, APU is amazing.

As far as leadership/volunteer experience goes I am not sure. I personally did not have any in college! It was impossible because I have 2 little ones at home and had a hectic course load as well. In high school though, I was Senior Class President & was involved with ASB all 4 years, but i'm not sure if they took that in to consideration seeing as it was almost 3 years ago.

I have a 3.4 GPA, and honestly I was surprised I got in because of how competitive it is. So APPLY and keep applying, you never know until you try :)

Oh wow! Thanks for getting back to me! Did you have all the stuff done? Like the only thing I don't have is two semesters of foreign language.

Did you have the nursing reference and stuff? I'm applyig for summer entrance but I can't get a nursing reference. I can ask my cousin but I know that's family. I am desperate though, its new and its not going to be new soon. Your overall is pretty good. I wonder, do they take the overall for the courses lists or what your overall is regardless if the courses transfer?

Thanks for replying! And Congrats!

Thanks :)

The nursing reference needs to be from someone who knows and can comment on your academic performance, ex: professor or teacher.

And yes, you need to have all your prereqs completed because there wont be room to take them during the program, they said no exceptions there.

They look at your science/prereq GPA as the major determining GPA, but i'm sure they take in to account your overall in comparison. Also, if the courses arent transferrable, i doubt they will count them or consider them.

Oh geez, so I can't even apply because I don't have foreign language done? I took a quarters worth of Spanish at cal poly?

Oh so it can be a professor? Hmm my overall is not good, like a 3.15 or lower depending on what types of classes they count as transfering. Ok well... I guess I can apply anyway. And see what they say. They said that they had 40 qualified applicants for spring and only 20 are accepted.

Wow. Congrats! I couldn't apply because I was missing that stupid foreign langauge requirement. Oh well just another school I can't get into. Good luck!

Hi, I just saw saw this and I'm wondering if anyone out there that is attending APU in the high desert could share some info? I'm thinking about applying there. I know its fairly new and I would love some feedback on the facility, professors, clinical sites.....etc. I know theres a lot of pre-reqs, seems like more then most. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am also looking to apply for APU in the fall of 2013 and am interested in the two plus two program, but I am not quite sure how it works. Anyone that has information on this or if anyone is currently attending in the high desert please let me know. :)

I just applied and am waiting to hear back. I'm not sure how it works. I have almost all of my pre-reqs done (except for lit). Does anyone know when we should hear back?
