Hi, I am in the process of applying to ABSN schools. The ones I am applying to are Stonybrook's, NYU's, and Rochester's. I have been considering GWU's and Notre Dame of Maryland University, however I do not have the ethics pre-requisite (and another semester of Chemistry in the case of Notre Dame), which would cost me around $1050 to take (and even more for Notre Dame). To give you insight on my financial situation, I am currently unemployed and am helping take care of my grandpa with dementia. My grandparents live in the suburbs and I cannot drive. I also have loans from undergrad ($2,600) that I have to start paying off next year. My grandma pays me $60/week.
So, I was wondering if it's worth it to apply to these other two programs given the cost of prerequisites. I want to apply to more given my profile, which I know is not especially competitive, particularly regarding my GPA. I have a 3.19 cGPA and a 3.21 pre-req GPA. The min GPA for stonybrook is 2.8 (but looking at previous threads it appears as if most applicants/those that are accepted have a significantly higher GPA), rochester is 3.0, NYU does not have one, and the other two have a minimum of 3.0. What do you guys think?
