Emory 2021 BSN transfer

[uponyk]

Hello! I am currently an undergrad student at Texas, majoring in pre nursing.

I submitted my application to Emory's nursing program for 2021, and had so many question regarding the GER requirement, transfer equivalency, AP scores, etc.

My school does not offer an associate's degree, so I'm a bit confused on how the credit transferring works. Please let me know if anyone can offer some insight!

Thank you so much ?

Hey! I uploaded it to the application portal, emailed it to the general nursing's and dean's emails (contact us page). If you emailed the general nursing email and received any responses back from anyone - they generally include their own emails in there. You can cc it to them as well! 

Right after I sent my LOCI, I got a response back from the general nursing's email that they will add it to my application (but I also uploaded it to the portal). But try to email it to the dean's email as well. 

I think my stats are similar to yours. Around 3.9 GPA, no healthcare work experiences, in progress for A&P 1,2, and Microbiology. 

I wish you luck! 

Does that mean did you ask to write a recommendation letter to Emory's dean?

I go to a 4 year university, but I don’t think it matters as long as you meet the requirements. 
 

Apply for the priority deadlines as they give scholarships to those who only apply early. Also, regular deadlines are on a space basis, they admit the majority through the priority deadlines.

Appreciate it for specific explanation:) Hope you see in next year!

Hello, I have some other questions here.

Do y'all attend 2 yr college or 4 yr college?

And I saw there's several apply deadlines; like early decision 2, etc.

Are there any differences or any submit date recommendations ?

Everyone who got in congratulations!

4 year. GPA and personal statement matter a whole lot. Keep your grades up and better chances of getting in if you have completed most of your prerequisites. Kinda hard crafting a 350-word statement though. If you are waitlisted, don't fret, spend a few days, and write a LOCI. I didn't apply ED because I didn't have any science courses until the end of fall 2020. So I applied for regular decision. 

I don't have any volunteer activities/healthcare experiences nor any recommendation letters. But I explained the reasons in my LOCI. 

Still no news about the financial aid package though.

Hey guys, I applied for the BSN transfer on October 15th and also got waitlisted back in November. I’m currently a sophomore, I have a 3.9ish GPA, I have a CNA certification (though I never worked as one) and volunteered at hospitals/shadowed an RN. I never sent in a test score because of the 3.5 GPA waiver—I’m not sure how much that hurt my chances so I might take the TEAS. I sent a letter of LOCI back in December but they only received it in January. I wanted to know what you guys wrote for your LOCI to be accepted—I had the impression that they didn’t look at their waitlist until all the application deadlines were finished (the last one being in March) but since some of you got in already I guess that’s wrong. Desperately trying to do everything to get in ?

Hi, did you all have to submit your high school transcript? Or was it just transcripts from the colleges you're transferring from?

Have anyone who got waitlisted received an admission offer? Applied for regular decision 1 and got waitlisted for Fall 2021. 

Yeah I got waitlisted as well..

I recommend doing it asap- about 1-2 weeks after you got waitlisted. The first few days I drafted out my letters and spent time researching Emory's mission and the nursing program. I looked at any new recent developments/updates within the nursing program and showed that I took the time to research it. Any multicultural experiences, etc. Why I want to be a nurse. Why I am interested in Emory's nursing program. I also didn't have any prior healthcare experiences or extracurricular activities on my resume, but I wrote down the "why" on my LOCI. And what I can contribute to Emory and the community. Come back a day or 2 later and polished it. There are lots of "how to write LOCI" articles on the internet/Reddit communities and they give lots of great tips. 

I felt the 300 personal statement wasn't enough for me to explain but I was able to incorporate everything I wanted to say in my LOCI. I think mine was around 600-700 words.

I recommend uploading the LOCI to the portal but also let the nursing admission counselor know about your LOCI. I was able to locate the deans and emailed them as well and ultimately it was the deans who gave me the admission letter. I got off the waitlist about 1 week after I emailed them about my LOCI. 

Good luck!

Hey! Did you address your letter to the Nursing admissions office or the Dean of Nursing?

Anyone get off the waitlist yet?

Does anyone know if Emory will look at classes taken and let you know what their equivalents are before transferring? It seems like you won't know for sure if classes are accepted until after you start the first semester for the nursing program. Am I correct in this assumption?
