Is applying with no A&P on my transcript a bad idea?

I think it will depend on the school. At my local university, they require (I think) 2 or 3 of the 4 required science classes to be complete. You should check with the individual school but the worst they can say is wait until you've completed A&P.

It's weird, I don't really see any notes about requiring a certain amount by the time of applying. But some of the schools only require Microbio and A&P for science pre-reqs, so not having it would be over half of the pre-reqs 'not completed.' I can only imagine they would hold that against me, unfortunately.

I got in without it.

How many pre-reqs did you have completed already? How many left?

Ted, I had a LOT of general education credits. I was already close to a bachelor's in liberal arts. I didn't even know I needed pre-reqs - I just applied.

I HAD taken biology, stats, college algebra. They didn't accept my biology.

Once in I had to take bio, micro, psych, dev. psych, and A&P.

Ah, so you went the traditional 4 year route?

No, it was a 1 - program. Year one, LPN, year 2, RN. I got into the second year but opted out and finished via Excelsior online. I'm going for a BSN now.
