Emory BSN Transfer... Realistic to Expect Acceptance?

Published

Hi all!

I am currently in the process of applying to Emory's BSN program as a transfer student (Pre-reqs taken at Clemson University), but I haven't been able to find any information about acceptance rates and I was hoping someone here could give me a realistic idea of whether or not I will be accepted.

I have completed all of my prerequisites except A&P 2 and Human Growth and Development, which are both in progress this spring/summer. My current GPA (on my transcript I have submitted to them) is a 3.41 and I expect to end this semester with a 3.35-3.42. I am submitting my ACT score (32) as my test score. I also have six months of experience working as a CNA. I plan to submit the optional personal statement and possibly a letter of recommendation.

From the information I have been able to find, I think my chances are pretty good, but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. If it is a realistic goal, I need to start making some preliminary plans (i.e. moving in with family in the area).

PS: Any suggestions on making my application stronger?

I went to emory, and was in the bsn program there. There were a lot of students in the program who didn't start their undergrad at emory.

That is good to hear! I know that many schools discourage transfer students, and make admission extremely difficult. Do you have any knowledge of their average stats?

I'm not sure, but most students weren't originally from emory. Prerequisites are fine to get at other schools. I got some of mine from a community college
