Eastern Michigan 2015 applicants

shylynn, BSN · Feb 8, 2015

Last year I had 418 points and I figured I wasn't getting in. I took dual-enrolled classes in high school, so that's why my points were so low. This year I ended up retaking about 4 classes to get more points. I should end up with 450-460. Somewhere around there. I also plan to apply to OU's nursing school.

I'm planning on applying, but not sure how this will work! Does anybody know if they accept nursing transfer students?

Hello. :)

They do accept transfer students but it's a lot harder to get into the program as a transfer. I applied last year with a 4.0 and didn't get in because all of my classes except MATH 110 were transfers. I had 433 points and I was on the alternate list. I don't want to discourage you but it IS very difficult to get into EMU if you didn't take your prereq classes there.

Futureisnear,

Do you mean that you are currently in a nursing program somewhere else and want to transfer into EMU's program?

Hi!

I am applying and turned in my application already. Im freaking out because I don't think I have enough points 432/500.

Hello all,

I see many of you have been applying or re-applying to EMU's program so I thought I'd share a couple pieces of info. (By the way I am no longer a student at EMU. I'm now in a nursing program at another university, as I was rejected from EMU's program twice, but I attended EMU for 2 years and have no bad regards towards the school. I loved my time there.) The points cutoff is usually around 435. Both times around I missed the cutoff by 5 points or less. I STRONGLY encourage you to get the 6 months paid healthcare experience, as those points could be the difference between making it in and not making it in. In my case, having the healthcare experience would've gotten me in both times. Other than that, retake any classes that you have less than a B in. Another word of advice I have is to never give up no matter how many times you get denied. If you have a passion for healthcare, stick with it. It also doesn't hurt to explore programs at other universities and see what they have to offer if you are struggling to get accepted into the EMU program. Like they say, sometimes it's best to not put all your eggs in one basket. Other than that, I wish you all the best and good luck to you all!

Thank you for that! I have health care experience but I am missing some points for not taking classes here at EMU. I am working on applying to other colleges and will sign up to retake other classes in the fall if it doesn't happen! But man, I really really hope it does because it will just be a whole year of sitting and waiting to apply. But I will not give up! I hope everything is going well for you and I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

I just applied! 467 points... I'm hoping that will be enough to get into the second bachelors program. Anyone know how many it took last year to get into that program? :nailbiting:

shylynn, BSN · May 1, 2015

Last year the cutoff was 437. So you have a good competitive score. @joliphant

This topic has been dead for a little bit, but I'm giving it a shot anyways: Does anyone know what the cutoff score was for 2015? I'm specifically interested in point totals for the second career BSN, but I'll take anything! Thanks!
