Emory admission rates?

GGT1 · Jun 23, 2008

A girl that I had a class with had a B average in all classes and failed the NET (not required by Emory) and was accepted. I believe the cost of admission causes a lot of students to apply elsewhere so it may not be as competative as other schools. Good Luck.

I have heard that you need at least a 3.5 to get in, so I am surprised by GGT1's comment. I was not accepted by Emory as a 2nd degree BSN student. I had a 3.0 for my BS in Biology (many years ago) and 4.0 in nursing pre-requisites. In addition, I have had a successful career in a research lab at Emory for 20 years. So it's hard to know what they are looking for. You will have to take the GRE for the BSN/MSN segue option; a good score on that will help, no doubt. They do not care about the NET. They have an event called Experience Emory Nursing every fall and spring that is very informative. Just look for it on their web site.

I am surprised that GGT1's friend was accepted. I was rejected as a 2nd-degree BSN student even though I had a 3.0 with my BS in biology and a 4.0 in nursing pre-requisites. They don't care about the NET. Oh yeah, and I have spent the last 18 years working in a research lab at Emory. So, I have a little anger about this, but I was accepted by the other schools I applied to. Nevertheless, you should explore all your options. Emory has an event called Experience Emory Nursing each fall and spring that is worth attending. Look for the link on their web site.

I am surprised that GGT1's friend was accepted. Yes, Emory is an expensive school, but they do not lack for applications. I was not accepted as a 2nd degree student with a 3.0 on my first BS (biology major) and a 4.0 in nursing pre-reqs. Oh yeah, and I have been working in a research lab at Emory for the last 20 years. So, I am a little angry, but I was accepted at the other schools I applied to, and I will be a nurse 2 years from now. You should look on Emory's web site for an event called Experience Emory Nursing. It is well worth attending as it is very informative about the programs offered and the application process. Good luck to you.

rtbcsu,

Were you only applying for the second degree BSN? or the BSN/MSN option? If you need a 3.5 then I can count myself out now :scrying: And if you don't mind me asking, did they give you an explanation or reason as to why you were not accepted? Congrats on your other acceptances though, where will you be going? Good luck!

I applied for the second degree BSN, not the BSN/MSN segue. They gave no explanation, just a standard rejection letter that said there were more applicants than places, blah, blah. I was accepted at both Ga Baptist (Mercer) and Clayton State and will be attending Clayton State. I think it helped me that those schools use the NET, because it gave me a chance to show the type of student I can be now, not the type of student I was in 1981 when I earned my first degree. Therefore, the BSN/MSN segue option might work for you, if you do well on the GRE. I suggest applying several places, including Emory, to keep all your options open. And sorry about the computer ineptness that led to the triple reply last time.
