Chamberlain question

[Angela89]

I have already emailed the school this question, but I will probably get faster replies here.

I have never been to college, and it seems one of the requirements are to submit college transcripts. Is it possible for me to be accepted? I know preference would be given to those who have good scores, I just don't wanna waste my time and go to the open house/apply when there is no chance.

(This is for the Chicago campus, if it makes a difference)

They only want you to submit transcripts so you can be evaluated for transfer credits. If you don't have any credits, then they'll get you some. :) I'd go ahead and apply! You might consider getting some pre-req classes out of the way at a community college to lower the cost of what you'll pay Chamberlain for the same thing, as they are a rather expensive school. But either way, it's not impossible.

Agreed with LunaH, you only submit your transcript if you have taken classes, but if you havent taken classes yet, they will needs some sort of score for you. The instructions should tell you if they need highschool GPA or ACT/SAT scores or something. If nothing, the go ahead and apply. But I also second doing the prereqs at a CC to save money. If you get into chamberlain with no pre reqs done, they wont start you in the nursing core program because the pre reqs have to be done first. Either way you will have to take them before you start so you may as well save a huge amount of money by taking them at a CC.
