I applied to an online RN to BSN program. I just got the letter in the mail saying I was denied. I'm so confused. I plan on calling Monday to get more information, but was looking for some input.
The letter says Unfortunately, you academic background would place you at a serious disadvantage in relation to the programs course work. It is important to realize that you may be admissible at a later date should your academic preparation improve.
I've been an RN for 6 years. I did fine in school. I don't know my exact GPA, but I had mostly had A's and B's. I did have 2 C's in the course of nursing school, but otherwise I did well. I can't imagine that would deny me entry, would it? My associates degree did not require Algebra, chemistry, speech, some of the pre-reqs that I know some require. Would they deny me admission over something like that? Their website says you have until the end of the program to complete any general education requirements that remain.
I also had to withdraw from a semester and restart the next semester due to the murder of my fiance. This was approved by the dean of my program due to the special circumstances. Would that withdraw show in my transcripts and possibly influence their decision?
I realize all of you obviously won't have the answer, as I said I intend to call Monday. I just was not expecting this at all. Hoped someone might have experienced something similar and have an opinion. Thanks!
