Goodwin Accelerate BSN Program (Points?)

Hi,

Im curious as to how you got the 17 points. I was told by my advisor that If you got your BS degree from a different school then it doesn’t count. The the cut off points for the last cohorts was 8 points. Good luck 

Hello, 

Thanks for the follow-up, that helps a lot. Turns out, I was looking at the wrong point system. Looks like I am in the range of 11-13 points. 

If you have any other information, it would help ease my anxiety. Otherwise, I will just continue to study hard for the TEAS.

Much Thanks 

I have also heard about this option, but I was a slacker when I did my bachelor’s degree and I’m not sure if this is going to be an option for me.

I was a slacker too, to be honest. I have taken on a lot of debt to either accumulate a new GPA or to replace grades that were below the cutoff. I have been pursuing the prereqs and necessary GPA for going on 2 years... I hope I get in! Goodwin allows you to use the GPA accumulated at their school so long as you take 4 courses with them. For someone like myself, it gives me the opportunity to prove I have matures since the last time I was a student. If I were to work off my prior GPA, I would need to take 13 classes and get all As just to meet the minimum requirements for the state ABSN programs. 

I also applied to Goodwin’s ABSN program for this fall. I’m super nervous as my situation is kind of the same as yours with my life on hold for this program. I’m wondering when they are sending out acceptance letters if you knew?

I was told the first week in March and it’s sent by mail. Just curious, how many points did you get?

have you heard anything yet

I have not heard yet but everyday I am more hopeful it will come. 2 for 4 courses, 4 for GPA, 6 points for TEAS score = 12 points. 
 

Got a lot riding on this. Really wishing for some good news. How many points did you get?

Me too I am so anxious everyday. Good luck to you! I have 2 points for 4 courses 4 for GPA and 4 points for my TEAS score. So I have 10 points and I’m really hoping that’s still enough judging from the cut off of 8 points from the last cohort. 

Fingers crossed for the both of us. Mail just came, STILL NO LETTER ?
