ASU Post-Bacc 2014

[rtyo1]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post! What a valuable resource this site has been for me! A little background on myself to begin:

I am 24, male, and have a degree from ASU in Business Marketing (2012). I have been working all year on prerequisites required for consideration in ASU's Post-Bacc BSN program, which (if you are unfamiliar) is a program that allows people with degrees to get their BSN in 12 months after completion of pre-reqs. It requires a minimum 3.50 select GPA and 58.7% score on the TEAS to even be considered.

I received A's in all prerequisites except for a sophomore-year psychology 101 class, which was a B. This makes my application GPA a 3.89 (instead of a 4.0 ). I just took the TEAS yesterday, and got a 91.3% (99th percentile national, 98th percentile in the ASU BSN program overall).

Do any accepted applicants have opinions on my scores? What do you think the chances of me getting into the program are? If you can speak to your experience with the application and admissions process, that would be great. I think I am doing well, and I believe after they look at my application and see that I have straight A's on all of my medical-related prerequisites, they won't discredit my GPA with the one psychology class.

Also, anyone else applying? How has the process been? Our apps are due soon!

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hey folks,

I have some VERY TENTATIVE information from ASU...

We can expect review letters from ASU mid-week next week and we'll have about a week to make any corrections. So, be on the lookout for those. I don't know if they will be emailed or snail mailed.

They are hoping to have the whole process completed by late October, so we MAY know if we are accepted before November! :) It is incredibly tentative, but at least it is a "date" to have in mind, right?

Also, I was told in my placement workshop that we would have an orientation on "reading day," which is a date that no longer exists in the ASU calendar. They are tentatively planning the orientation meeting on the afternoon of December 6. So we should have plenty of time between learning of our acceptance and the orientation date to get time off work or plan our classes accordingly.

I just thought I would share the little bit of information I learned. I love the idea of acceptance letters by the end of October!

Wonderful! That would be so great if they get through everything a bit sooner than expected. Thanks for passing along the info!

[Shadowbandit1]

Awesome!!! Thanks for the info!

This is great news! I tried to post a comment the day the post came out but it must not have taken. I am very excited to see the progress! Lets keep in touch as we start receiving our information verification emails! Good luck to everyone!

Application review emails were sent today and they state that ASU will hopefully have admission status letters mailed out the week of October 21! Good luck everyone!!

I got my email. They got the city I live in and phone number wrong but I guess that's not too bad. I wish I knew what a good advancement score was!!

[courtneyfaith]

I know that the average advancement score from last years group of those who got in was like 1.85, if that helps you know what is "good". Of course thats not including essays. Oct 21 is so soon guys!

[Shadowbandit1]

Oh then I'm right on the bubble! I wish the average was 1.84 then I would be just above average! Ha! I wonder how much weight, if any, the essays have. I thought they just took the advancement scores, put them in order, and then took the first 40. Oh well! We'll see in a few week!! I'll just cross my fingers and toes!!
