Confused

I graduated from high school in 2013, and did 2 semesters of college later that year (uncompleted). Would I be considered a mature student, high school student or transfer student if I'm trying to get into a nursing program for 2015-2016 ? Also is it ok that I'm taking my prereqs at an adult high school (U level) instead of college ?

Did you actually earn transferable college credits? If not, you are not a transfer student, and a mature student is somewhere above the age of majority.

And taking prereqs reqs at the high school is probably not a good idea, but you need to contact the school(s) you are interested in to get the correct answers.

I am 21, and no my program(s) was unrelated. Why wouldn't it be a good idea ? Its an adult school, I would be getting the gr 12 U credits that are required such as chem, bio, math, english...

Are you in Canada? In the US we refer to senior year as 12th grade, I know in Canada they call it grade 12. I don't know what "U" credits... If you are Canadian the educational requirements and procedures are a little different and a moderator can move this thread to the Canadian Nursing Program forum so that you can get targeted, hopefully accurate advice, from your Canadian colleagues.

The classes need to be college level courses, not high school courses. I don't think that an adult high school is college level. You should check with Admissions at the college you want to attend to be sure.

Prerequisites in US college programs come in two flavors: High school (I had to have had high school chemistry, bio, English, history, a foreign language, algebra, and others) for admission to the college, and then college-level chemistry, bio, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and statistics for entry into or continuing in a college program (the difference is that some programs here do prereqs in the first two years, then you apply for admission to the nursing major; others mix all courses and nursing courses over all years).

I don't know aboot Canada, but I would be surprised if they thought a high-school level chem, etc. class alone was an acceptable level to be in the nursing program, no matter what your age.
