I am wondering if anyone has gone through the direct entry level masters degree process, please?
I have applied to SFSU and was immediately rejected (very weird) and am trying to figure out what I can do to improve/get into a program.
About me:
I have two degrees from UC Davis in English and psychology.
I have worked as a CNA for 600 hours.
I have been a nanny for 2 years of toddlers.
My letters of rec are from my boss (a surgeon), a microbiologist (retired from UCLA and teaching up North), and the former MLA president.
My undergrad GPA is a 3.0 but after taking 5 years off, I excelled and finished with 3.55 in my last 60 units and in my science nursing pre-recs.
6 months of research at UCD with Gale Goodman.
I was the UCD student manager of aquatics, in the nursing club, a sorority, I studied abroad, worked with foster kids in 2014 and volunteered with Citizens Who Care and at elementary schools as a kindergarten aid.
My GRE writing score is a 4 out of 6 (I could take this again- grumble $205 grumble-because I took it at the last minute and am confident I can get a higher score).
Honestly, attending a ADN program makes me sad as I think I am better than that. My stats aren't perfect, but I know that I would excel in a graduate nursing program.
