I need to know if there are any 12 month second degree bsn programs that start this fall, whose application deadlines have not passed. It would also be helpful if they do not require a 3.0 gpa in the previous bachelor's degree. If you know of any schools that meet this criteria, ppplllleeeeeaaaaaaaaassssseeeeee let me know. Thank you in advance.

After reading your post, I looked up the deadlines for about 7 accelerated BSN programs in my state and the surrounding area, that I have either heard good things about and/or applied to in the past, ranging from 12 months to 15 months. (I live in Texas. In the fall, I am starting my 4th of 5 semesters in a traditional BSN program in Texas). I am sorry to say that every school I looked at had a deadline that had already passed. Deadlines for the fall semester ranged from as early as December to as late as April, with most being around February. Maybe you will have better luck finding a school with such a late deadline in other areas of the country. I am sorry I could not be any help, but maybe someone will find something for you! I hate to say it, but I feel you will have a hard time finding a school whose deadline for fall has not passed. May have to wait til the Spring to start and get on the ball early with applications this time. Best of luck though!

You're not asking much are you?
1 12 month ABSN are rare. Mine is 15 month
2 deadline that hasn't past...it's June. most programs have deadlines of april or may
3 doesn't require a 3.0... Most require a minimum of 3.0, but the acceptance is more like 3.25-3.5
I doubt there are any schools that fit your criteria and if there were, that you could get into with less than a 3.25 GPA
Good luck
