Fall 2007 nursing school applicants

Published

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd start a thread to see where everyone is applying for Fall 2007! It seems like it will take forever for April to get here! Good luck to everyone who is applying! Also, does anyone know when Texas Christian is sending letters, I think it's April but I couldn't find a month on the website. I applied to TCU and TWU- Dallas.

4.0 will get you in!

The lowest GPA for pre-reqs at El Centro was 3.54, and for Northlake it was 3.69. What HPRS 1204 are you enrolled in?

Congrats Sejin!!!! Aren't you glad the wait is over! I am actually not even sure if I will be accepting or not. I am still debating on whether to just finish up my last 9 classes for the BSN and apply to TWU for next Fall. I am not impressed with the dropout/fail rate at ECC. As well as the 78-83 being a C! Kinda nutty.

Not to mention that me and the hubby just got surprised with an unexpected pregnancy! Argh! That's the real reason I may just wait it out and take the remaining BSN classes. What to do, what to do???? My head is spinning.

:balloons: CONGRATS :balloons:

Something I read in another post:

Another big factor you need to look at regarding the schools - ECC's passing grade is 78 and above; therefore, 78-83 is a "C", 84-89 is a "B" and 90-100 is an "A". This is important if you want your BSN later and are concerned with GPA. At other schools 70 and above is passing. Most of the BSN schools look at the GPA when deciding on admissions, and, according to their grading a "C" is 70-79. But if you go to ECC and your final grade in a particular class is an 83 (a "B" by UT or TWU standards) your transcript from ECC will reflect a "C", giving you a lower GPA, and the other schools will never know that according to their standards your grade would be different!!

I received a letter from El Centro yesterday. I have been accepted to their program at North Lake beginning Fall '07. Did anyone else get in? I'm looking forward to this journey and I can't wait to start!!! Any advice for first year students is greatly appreciated!

Specializes in OR Internship starting in Jan!!.

Congrats! There are several threads in the general nursing student forums from other students at ECC/NL. Welcome!

And yes, the whole grade thing does bite. But, all schools seem to have a horrible retention rate, not just ECC.
