Chamberlain

[starmickey03, MSN, RN]

I graduate in May with a bachelors in Health Studies from Michigan State. But my dream career is to become a nurse so I recently have been doing some research and came across Chamberlain. So I want to know how their admissions process is. Is it really hard to get into? And I also see that the ACT score is a factor in the admissions process. Does anyone know if the ACT is required, cause I never took it. I went to a community college first for a year then transferred and test scores arent needed to go to community colleges. I just want to know about the competitiveness because it was pretty much impossible for me to get accepted at MSU to the nursing school. Every year over 4,000 people apply and they only accept 60 , so yeah thats like extreme competitiveness.

I was actually accepted into the Chamberlain program. It's not terribly hard to get into, just make sure you are compliant with all of their policies. I was not able to attend the program because I had a hard time getting previous transcripts from one of my schools. You do not need to take the ACT. They have their own testing that you have to take. One is the HESI. As long as you pass the tests - the Reading comprehension, vocabulary, and math, the rest of it is a piece of cake. There is an interview and an essay. Just make sure you put down all the schools you attended and have your transcripts sent to them. It is a really good program...I'm just sorry I wasn't able to attend.
