Does anyone know about BSN programs at EMU and Madonna?

Halligan · May 15, 2008

Madonna is a private school and there is no waitlist so you will be looking at roughly $13k for the year. But on the brightside your done in 3yrs with your BSN. If you can get financial aid and you don't want to waste time on a waitlist go for it.

I applied to EMU and they have no wait list. I do have to say that their admissions staff are rude and pompous and left the idea of going there much to be desired. I did find out that you have to give them every post secondary you have gone to since high school and they tally all of it together no matter if you did good now or poorly then. I am a 4.0 student and went to a business school when I just got out of high school and I only got a 2.9 because I was being stupid. Well I was upset to find out that 18 years later they could or would hold it against me. If I can say anything at all to anyone please be careful you get good grades always even later in your life it can come bite you in the fanny. I was admitted there but I am not sure that I am going to go there since all of this I am thinking about going to Wayne State just because how the admitting person made me feel. I Hope that helps you out. Good luck in whatever choice that you make.

Kimberly,

I am really sorry that you had a bad experience with them. May I ask when did you get accepted to start? This Fall? I wouldn't be able to apply to EMU until their Fall 09 entry because I still have to finish up my Org. Chem this fall. I was planning on going there to talk them this summer. Right now I have a 3.9 GPA because of one class that I got a B in. I went to a business school when I was younger too, however, I received a 4.0 GPA there because I was rebelling against my poor efforts in high school LOL. I was determined to prove to myself that I could do it....I know I am weird. Anyway, I have heard of similar things about Madonna too. That the students there were clique and not very welcoming to new transfers. When I figure things out between these two schools, I would graduate one semester sooner with Madonna, but I would pay about 10k less at EMU. Of course this is all depending on if I get into WCCCD or not. If I do then I will go that route and then do a RN to BSN somewhere.

Thank you for your reply.

I wsa going to start in the fall of 08. That is just to get into the college that isn't even into the nursing program itself. I am pretty sure that I am going to go to Wayne because of the negative atmosphere that I felt there I don't think that it would be some place that I would enjoy. Good luck though. I hope that you get your first choice.

I don't blame you at all. If I experience any negativity like you did, I would probably want to go somewhere else as well. I am crossing my fingers that your experience was an isolated one and the lady was just having a bad day. I know wishful thinking, but you can't fault a girl for trying!

Good luck at WSU. I hear they have a wonderful program there.
