Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey guys! This is for anyone applying to Holy Family ABSN 14-month cohort (second degree for non-nurses) for the Fall of 2021. It's a bit early but nows the time to ask questions and get to know each other, etc. Feel free to share anything on your mind !

Specializes in nursing.

Hello everyone. I’m currently doing my last required class (nutrition). I applied to holy family university for 14 months cohort Spring 2021 , but they put me in waitlist and told me that there are few places open for 22 months program starting January 2020 so I applied for that instead. I m wondering if there are student who applied for the same program and how was it?

Hey everyone!  I also have submitted my application for fall 2021. My stats are a little low.  Overall is 3.4 and my prereq GPA is a 3.0, so I am definitely very nervous. My grades have shown a good upward trend. I did very bad my freshman year but was able to get a 4.0 the past 3 semesters. I work in a doctors office and have a great recommendation so I am hoping that helps at all. Does anyone have any idea when we will hear back? I asked Marie but she did not get back to me. Wishing the best of luck to everyone! Holy family is my top choice so my fingers are crossed.

About 2 hours after actually posting this comment, I did receive my acceptance letter!  I am so excited and looking forward to attending Holy Family! Has anyone else heard back? Maybe we can start a facebook group for those who plan to attend! 

 

Also, for those who are not from the area, I can help with any questions about philly, I am from the suburbs, but currently living in the city. The full-time program is at a different location then the part-time, but both are in the NE philly suburbs. The newtown campus might be a little difficult to get to if you were to live in center city as it is about 35-40 minutes away. Good luck everyone!

How long did it take for you to get your decision back?

Super quick, less than a week. I was having trouble getting my transcripts to them from when I took classes at community college, but once they finally received it she told me it was under review.  I had most of my application in by early September, but once they received my last transcript it took about 5 days.

Hi everyone! I just got accepted to the Fall 2021 cohort! I am very excited to start this journey! I live right in Bucks County and is about a 15 min drive from my house. I am a current student finishing up my bachelors degree in May 2021. I submitted my application on October 6 and took about a week for my acceptance letter.

Hey everyone! I applied for a May start, not fall, but I was accepted on 9/10! Perhaps I will see some of you around! My stats were: BS in psychology with a focus on life sciences. My undergrad GPA was right around a 3.4 and my prereqs were a 4.0. I also have experience as a facilitator in a mental health practicum working with children and 2 years of research experience in psychology. Good luck to everyone applying! I’ve heard some mixed reviews about the program so sort of anxious but we got it!!
