Kent State ABSN - Spring 2020

[Eka11191]

Hey guys! I just applied to Kent State for their Spring 2020 cohort of their Accelerated BSNprogram. I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone else out there has applied?

From what my email confirmation states, we won’t hear back with decisions until early October. the anticipation is killing me!

Here are my stats:

Overall GPA: 3.6

Science GPA: 4.0

I haven’t finished all the core sciences yet, I’m taking A&P2 in the fall, so I dont get the 1 bonus point.

I do however have all 4 of the “blue” courses done which at .5 bonus points each gives me 2 bonus.

So total points for me is 9.6/11.

I’m hoping this makes me competitive!

Please let me know what your guys stats are!!

Hi,

I've also applied for the Spring 2020 start, I was wondering if you have heard anything back yet? I know they said the start of October.

Thanks!

I grew up about 5 miles down the road from Kent in a neighboring city called Tallmadge. Kent is a pretty cool area, you’ll like it! Can’t wait to meet everyone in our cohort! will you be able to make it to the orientation in November coming from out of state?

Yes! I can't wait to see everyone! I'm planning to look around the town while I'm there for the orientation. Since I'm coming from out of state I'll need to find a place to stay during the school year ?

there’s a lot of affordable apartments in the neighboring areas! definitely look into places like Stow, Streetsboro, Cuyahoga Falls, and of course Kent too, but sometimes the rent can be high in Kent though

I'm checking Kent State Housing pages! Thank you for suggestions I've been only looking at Kent because I don't really know other places but will definitely look into them too! Hopefully, I can get one in affordable price ? Hey, would you like to exchange our emails or friend me on Facebook? We can talk more about the program before it begins!
