Mar 24, 201214 yr Is it better to finish all the sciences or do like admission specialist said and apply right after A&P I?
Mar 24, 201214 yr You don't need to be done with science before applying, but they do like you to be done with all your general education before you start nursing coursework. According to the acceptance package, you can have up to six credits general ed to finish up when you start nursing courses, and you can even do 1612 first semester and 1913 second semester of nursing school, but they REALLY discourage it and say you must do it nights, weekends or online. How close you are to being done with general ed and science is something they told me they definitely consider in admissions. You don't have to be done before you apply, but they would like to see that you have a plan to be done before nursing classes start.
Mar 24, 201214 yr Well I ended up getting an acceptance letter to GPC. I had contacted them to find out why I did not get in, and they had miscalculated my GPA, so she sent me a packet - how weird is that. I am posting so that for those of you that are close, its a good idea to at least contact them and find out why you didnt get in, at a minimum it gets their attention, and shows them how much you want it.
Mar 24, 201214 yr mg100I called them also to see what my GPA was and go figure I received my letter today. Congratulations on your acceptance!!!
Mar 24, 201214 yr tygaspoohbear - you are kidding!? - what is going on over there, very strange. What if we had never checked? Well I got my packet today too, and congratulations to you as well.
Mar 24, 201214 yr Get this, the letter was dated 3/15, but the envelope was postmarked for yesterday. It's good that we are curious, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten in.
Mar 25, 201214 yr Hello Everyone! I am new to this forum. I also received my acceptance letter last week. I am so excited! Are any of y'all going to the nursing boot camp they are offering?
Mar 25, 201214 yr Tygas and mg100 congratulations! I'm so glad you all were persistent and called the department. Lovlee, I also plan on attending the boot camp.i don't wanna feel like I missed out on anything.
