Emory school of Nursing Atlanta GA

[MNSS]

Hi,

I am starting the pre requisites for nursing very soon. I would like to pursue the bachelors in nursing at Emory in Atlanta GA since I will have to stay in Georgia. I want to get into Emory so bad and I am willing to do everything that it would take me to do. Will it help if I were to do some volunteer work in an hospital while doing my prerequisites? They may just give me the job as a greeter or in the gift shop. I have to get into this school since I would like to do the Masters in nursing too and being a CRNP and eventually an An anesthetist. What else ca I do to get through the bachelors program at Emory? I have a masters in business but I have studied in India, my bachelors from India is a 3 year degree and therefore here they also include the 1st year of Masters to calculate my undergraduate GPA. My undergraduate GPA was not very good since in my First year I did not do well, did not work hard and hence although my masters GPA is 3.5 , that 1 bad undergrad year has brought down my undergrad GPA to 2.8. I am going to try my best to do extremely well in my prerequisites for nursing but I am now married and have a child too. My low undergrad GPA cannot ne changed but what can I do so that Emory will give me an admission and overlook my undergrad GPA. I know I have to take the toefl. Will it help if I take the GRE too? What is the minimum GPA that they need for the bachelors in nursing? What if I do not have the required GPA? They also have a BSN-MSN segue option. WIll I stand a better chance to get into with the BSN option or the BSN MSN segue option?

Thanks

M
