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.
hey so i saw your original comment when I got an email notification and I cant help but notice that it’s the exact opposite of what you changed your comment to. I understand you might not want certain things to be said in public but can you please elaborate on your original comment in private? you can email me [email protected]
Certain things are not to be said about this program. Don’t you find it a coincidence that the program has no negative reviews or comments? Whereas you can find them with others? I’m absolutely petrified to speak the truth about it and I’m in another program now. If that says anything.
I just sent in my application for the Fall 2020 cohort but I was wondering if anyone was admitted could answer some of my questions about the admission process. Does decisions come out after the application closes? Or do they do it as applications come in? Also, is there an interview or does it go straight to a decision?
BUYER BEWARE@ KSU ASBN!***! Their program is highly disorganized. You will get in there and quickly become infuriated at how they operate. Many times they make things up as they go, which does not keep the program fair and consistent for all. They have been known to throw in additional test topics the day before, leaving no time to master the content before the exam. Not because they want you to fail. Because they are so disorganized and inefficient they don’t realize how that sort of action can negatively impact a student.
The director of the ASBN program should not be in that position. Completely inept. Great lecturer, but not leadership material.
Here’s something you all likely did not know. Today forward you no longer have to beg and obsess over the KSU ASBN program. Forget about that obnoxious point system that has you OCDing over every little grade you think will help or hurt your chances.
Most don’t know this but Walsh Univeristy in Canton Ohio now has something called the Fast Track BSN. It allows you to earn your BSN in six semesters. It’s not called an accelerated program but the ability to earn a BSN in six semesters in undoubtably an accelerated program. What’s so awesome about this BSN program is that there’s nothing out there like it!!
1) Earn an BSN from a highly respected CCNE accredited university in 6 semesters.
2) It is not competitive. If you meet the easy entrance criteria, you’re in! No silly point system and no waitlist.
3) You do not need to possess a bachelors degree before attending. It’s helpful to have one because your course load will be lighter but you don’t need one. Walsh has innovated and pioneered this program so that it’s open to more people than ever.
4) There are pre-reqs to entrance but only a few and far less than most BSN programs.
5) It’s 100% online for all theory courses. You only attend in person for Evening and weekend labs and clinicAls (requires 1 or 2 days out of your week to attend labs and clinicAls) Something very appealing to those with families or otherwise busy lives.
6) The staff is very friendly and approachable. They are happy that you chose them and are always willing to talk with you.
7) $500 per credit flat rate. No other fees added. Not technology fees, administrative fees or anything else normally seen in your tuition bill. Just a flat rate of $500/credit. If you already have a degree and many of your non nursing courses transfer then you only need 54 nursing class credits. $500 times 54 credits is $27,000. They also have all sorts of financial assistance opportunities if you are in need.
If you apply now and you meet entrance criteria, you’re in! Now tell me what reputable school can beat that?!
Forget Kent State and check out the brand new Fast Track BSN at Walsh for busy adults. No prior degree needed, but helpful to make your load lighter.
