Curry ACCEL Jan 2015

Published

Hi! Just reaching out! I applied for Curry's Accelerated nursing program starting in January of 2015, and I'm pretty sure we'll know in a couple of weeks who made the cut. Now that it's getting close, I'm starting to sweat it a little bit. I didn't have all my prereqs done at the time of the application (I have all the non-science ones done and A&P one and two, but I'm currently in Micro and I still have Chem left to take). Anyone else get in that still had more than one science left to complete? I hate all this second guessing myself!! Anyone else in the same boat? We can doubt ourselves together :)

Congrats!! I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet. Maybe today?? :)

Hi, guys! Congratulations on your acceptance into the incoming Curry ACCEL cohort! I am currently in that program at Curry (graduating in May 2015) and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hi Pavolga,

Thanks so much! How is the program going? Are you happy with your decision? Any pointers on things to do before the program starts? Appreciate any and all insight!

Rachel, no problem! Really love this program: great professors, classmates, and clinical placements. One of the best decisions in my life.

You will have an info session sometimes in November, I think. You'll have a chance to ask a bunch of questions, so don't worry if something is not clear yet. The only thing that I would suggest is to look around for a BLS certification class, and schedule yourself to take it right before the school starts. Also, make sure you have all your immunizations or at least the ones that come in a series (such as 3 for Hep B).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi LaurenH38 I'm sorry about your rejection from curry. I plan to apply June 2015 and a little worried about my undergraduate gpa which is a 2.9. Would you mind sharing yours? Why did you think it was a longshot?

Hi Treid05. I felt it was a longshot because I only had 2 of the 4 science prereqs completed at the time of my application submission. My Microbiology course was completed maybe a week after the June 1 deadline, and I hadn't taken the chemistry requirement yet. As for my grades, I had a 3.37 undergrad GPA, and a 4.0 average on all my prereqs. Again, though-- at the time, I didn't have them all completed. I still am bummed about it because Curry was my top choice, but I was able to get into the MGH Institute for a January 2015 start, so that is good news. I hope that helps answer your question!

Hey guys! I just got accepted to the Curry College Accel 2017-2018 cohort. I was wondering if anyone can send me the program curriculum, syllabus, slides, and text book titles, so I can get a head start in studying before class starts. My email is [COLOR=#003366][email protected][/COLOR]. Thank you!

Hi!!

A little late... but want to apply for 2019. Did you have your sciences completed prior to applying?
