CNG12,

Are there any nice family oriented towns near the campus? I looked at Milton homes, and they are a bit pricey for what you get. Actually I'm looking for rental homes if I were to apply and be accepted as I'd be relocating there from CA.

Any info on the area in general?

Thanks:)

hmmmm... milton is def. a pricey city to live in. so curry is on the border of milton and dorchester. milton is a really nice area, and so is curry's campus.

if you have a car, i would suggest looking at: quincy, braintree, randoph, dedham which are some of the cities near milton. there is also public transportation in some of these cities as well

hope this helps :)

I am applying this year as well. I applied last year but didn't get in. Hopefully 2012 will be a better year than 2011!

I live in Stoughton, which is only about 10 minutes from Milton. Both Stoughton and Canton (town between Stoughton and Canton) are family-oriented, and both have commuter rail stations, as well as easy access to highways. Canton is probably pricier than Stoughton, but both should be more affordable than Milton. I would definitely consider looking at these towns. (I grew up in Stoughton and I'm now raising my own family in Stoughton, so I'm probably a little biased. But I do think it's a great town, as is Canton.)

Both Stoughton and Canton (town between Stoughton and Canton) are family-oriented

That should have said "town between Stoughton and Milton." Sorry.

Did they mention in the info session what average GPA's were? My undergrad cum was barely a 3.0 but I've done very well (all A's and B's) since getting my BA and my overall is about a 3.4...for last 30 semester units.

I just don't want to waste another set of transcripts.....ugh. I'm currently taking stats and chem and then I'm done.

Someone provided a very nice summary of their recent Information Session here: https://allnurses.com/ma-nursing-programs/curry-info-session-671967.html#post6143934 GPAs are mentioned in this post.

Hi, I'm new to this site, and I just applied to Curry College Accel BSN for the January 2013 start. Has anyone else applied? What are your stats? I have a Bachelor's in journalism from University of Florida, graduated with a 3.23 undergrad GPA, I have all A's and one B+ (in stats) in the prereq classes that I have done, and I'm finishing up Anatomy II this semester and still have to take Microbiology. I have 4 years of work experience and have some healthcare volunteer experience (currently a patient care volunteer at a hospital). I think my essay was pretty good, I had some writer friends critique it. What do you think my chances are? I'm so anxious to hear back! Good luck to everyone who's applying!!!

I applied as well, second year in a row. Last year, I only had two of the prerequisites done, now they are all done with an overall GPA of 4.0. I really hope that the lack of prerequisites was what hurt me last year because that's the only difference in my application from last year to this year. I have no health care experience. My undergrad GPA was 3.63, in math and physics. I'm worried about my essay. I actually only submitted my application today because I had been retooling my essay. I thought my essay last year was good, but I had to write a new one this year, and it was tough to answer the same three questions in a different way. (Because, really, things haven't changed much since last year. I still want to attend Curry as badly as I did last year!)

This is going to be such a long month! Good luck to you and all other applicants.

I applied! I have a BS in Human Services my undergrad GPA was a 3.5. I completed all my pre-reqs with all A's. I currently work at Children's Hospital Boston as a coordinator with nurse practitioners. Mapie I agree, April will def. be a long month.

Best of luck to the both of you :)
