Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

Thanks for all of your responses to all of my previous posts. As you probably assume, I'm evaluating all of my options including ADN, BSN, and Direct-Entry MSN. The direct entry programs look extremely appealing, but seeing that they are at the best of colleges, I don't know how easy they are to get in.

Does anyone know what the typical GPA, scores, acceptance rates of these programs are? Anyone have any experience applying?

I'm in MD, so I'd consider Hopkins, but Columbia, MGHI in Mass, Case Western, Vanderbilt, Pace, and Yale also look appealing.

Seeing as nursing traditionally isn't an "ivy league" profession, are the credentials required for these programs less than what a typical "ivy" student would need?

I'd love to hear experiences with any programs.........

Let us know when your mail man has arrived :).

That's the story as I know it. :) I'm betting that the earliest we'll hear from MGH is Wed.

Will do! Though I doubt there will be anything in it today. For MGH it would be too early- and if BC had mailed my letter on Fri I would have got it on Sat. But who knows, one can hope!! My mail usually gets here around 1.

I guess that means you don't think it would be appropriate for you to march down there and demand our letters, huh?

Seriously, I bet you are right about Wednesday.

Believe me, I'd loooove to, but somehow I don't think that would go over too well! :chuckle

15 minutes till mail time!

Man, I have to get a life! :rotfl:

There's something strange about wondering where someone else's mailman is and when he will show up there!

I just called MGH institute to ask when I could expect to hear. and she said end of this week beginning of next week. I didnt specificly ask when they were mailing letters.

I have an exam this week and i cant focus.

That's good you called. So it sounds like all you guys for MGH will hear next week. I know it's really hard, but try to concentrate on your exam. After all, they will want to see your final transcripts, which do include your current classes. Do well on your exams! I will keep my fingers crossed for all of you!
