Gwynedd Mercy ABSN Fall 2018

xkayyx3 · Apr 4, 2018

I applied for the May 2018 program in mid December and still have not received a response yet
(which i find to be odd since the program is starting so soon!) My overall GPA was a 3.00 and I
have completed all of the prerequisite courses except for organic chem. So I was just wondering
if anyone else was in the same boat as me and could tell me what expect?

Have you heard? or tried calling??

Hi guys! I made a Facebook group for those starting the ABSN program in Fall 2018. It's called "Gwynedd Mercy ABSN (Bensalem) Fall 2018". :)

I looked into Gwynedd mercy for the accelerated nursing program. I told them I have a low gpa (2.5 undergrad). I took some science pre-reqs and got all A's. I was told to take 2 more science pre-reqs to make myself a stronger candidate (& she even mentioned this portage learning). She said it's not a guarantee that I will be accepted but I will be a strong candidate. Can someone that was in this same situation give me advice?!? Will they accept me or most likely not?

Did you ever hear anything back?

It's been a little hectic trying to finish up my last pre-reqs and applying for the program. I just filled out the application yesterday (5/23/18) and I'm applying for the Jan-2019 Spring Cohort. Are you applying for the program?

Yes I applied last year so they already have my application on file so I just have to send my updated transcript. They told me I have to send in my new application on June 20th (for the Fall 2018) and the advisor said my application has improved immensely. So hopefully that helps me get accepted.

Did they not take you for last year?

If you don't mind, what was your GPA and your science grades?

my cumulative GPA is 2.4 ish not really positive but its horrible. But my science GPA is a 3.5. At the time I applied last year I was told to retake Nutrition and Human Development because the credits from my university didn't transfer over. I also had to take InOrganic Biochem & Microbiology. Hope that helps my cumulative GPA is the only thing holding me back imho.

I got a call today from a lady from admissions to submit my application today instead of June 20th, to see if I can start orientation June 12th for the Fall semester! I'm hoping this is good news that i'll be accepted!
