Hmmm. Changes for transfer to ASU

You have all the basics covered.

You have to complete a minimum of 11 of 17 pre-reqs at ASU.

When applying to the program slots are competitive. You can now get a total of 8.00 pts for ranking. 6 possible points come from GPA and 2 from the TEAS.

You take 17 of 17 pre-req's at ASU and have a 4.0 GPA. They then multiply your GPA by 1.5 which gives you 6 points.

If you have 12-16 pre-req's at ASU, they multiply by 1.4 multiplier.

If you have 11 pre-req's at ASU, they multiply by 1.3 multiplier.

If an ASU student with a 3.8 applies with 17/17 at ASU, he gets 5.7 points out of a possible 6.

In my case I can take 11 pre-req's at ASU. I have a 4.0 GPA. I would get 5.2 points out of a possible 6.

So basically, to be competitive in the application you have to take almost all of your pre-req's at ASU. Some ASU applicants from Spring '11 and Summer '11 were saying that the nursing program may push these changes back past Fall '11.

I am applying to NAU and U of A as a result of these changes.

p.s. - the nursing info .pdf mentions explicitly that the intent for CC students is to bridge with the RN-BSN program to ASU. Seeing as Maricopa County has a 2+ year waiting list for ADN programs... yeaaaaaah

Jeez that sounds like another ASU money grab to me.

Thanks for the info I 'preciate it

Unbelievable! Once upon a time I wasn't sure where in Az we were going to end up so I was trying to cover my bases for all three Universities. I was already irritated w/ ASU b/c there were so many more prerequisites than the other programs. I'm so glad we ended up in Tucson where I have two choices. Fingers crossed I get in NAU- Tucson program.

I hope they push thus off for everyone's sake that has been planning on getting their prerequisites done at the CC.
