ASU Post Bacc - 2019

Published

Hello! I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone else on here is planning on applying to the ASU PBCNP for the year 2019. From what I understand application is due 9/18. I have an appointment to meet with the nursing adviser 3/30. I am super excited and have gone back and forth for years on this decision but after working in an ER for the past year I have made my decision. I graduated from ASU with a general studies BA in 2016 and started a MHA at GCU last year but have now put that on hold to just pursue my BSN. Any other hopefuls??

Any idea what the minimum scores were that applied?

Knowing the minimum score would be really helpful. I hate waiting. Fingers crossed you all get in!

Not speaking for this cycle but my advisor told me that in the past the lowest score accepted was an average of 1.81. She told me if you have at least an 1.81 it puts you in a competitive spot

That's great news! I have a 1.87. I'm hoping that's enough.

1.87 is great! I bet you'll get in. I'm barely hitting the pass mark at 1.827. Crossing my fingers.

Those are both great scores! I'm applying with a 1.836 but I'm still very nervous to hear the results

Hi everyone!

I have been following this thread for awhile without an account, so I finally decided to make one! I applied to the program with a score of 1.875. I am really hoping that is enough to get me in, especially after reading that there were 90 applicants. Best of luck to you all!

That's a great score! My academic advisor said that anything above 1.85 and you're more than likely in.

Does anyone know when they are sending out acceptance letters?

Thank you, that makes me feel better! And when I spoke with the advisor she said we should hear something from them by mid-October. It feels so far away from now!

My advisor said mid October we should find out!

Does anybody else have a back up plan? I have a few different prospective jobs and would probably reapply.

U of A has an accelerated nursing program based in both Phoenix and Tucson as well. I am planning on applying to that program if I don't get accepted into ASU's. It is 15 months and I believe you graduate with an master's degree. It looks like most of the requirements are the same, except you would have to take another test similar to the TEAS. Here is a link.
