Nursing Students Post Graduate

To anyone who has applied to the master's program at Boston College or is currently a master's student at Boston College:

Hi. I am currently applying for the master's program at Boston College SON for the fall 2010 and I was wondering if the school requires the GRE. From the website, I got the impression that is it no required. But when I check my online application status, under the required documents, I see electronic GRE score. I just a bit confused and I want to be sure that my program does not require the GREs. If anyone has applied to BC or is currently a student, please let me know. Thank you! :D

BC does require the GREs.

http://www.bc.edu/schools/son/programs/masters/admission.html

Scroll down on that page to the part where it says "Master's Entry Routes", which is what you're doing and it says "Official GRE scores" under it.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your help. However, I already have my RN and a BS. I am applying for the RN to MS route or the traditional MS route.

I actually e-mailed the admissions office and they told me that the RN to MS and traditional MS programs do not require GREs. So I'm glad that is cleared up!

For those interested, BC does not require the GREs for the RN to MS and traditional MS (those with BSNs) programs! But the reply above is right; for those that want to do the master's entry (those who are not RNs), they require the GREs, as well as the Ph.D and anesthesia specialty.
