KU BSN program

[L.Cisneros]

Hi everyone! I'm in community college right now and in my first semester. I am taking general studies such as English, math, psychology, and interpersonal communications. I have recently decided that I want to become a nurse. Next semester, I will start the prerequisites needed to get into KU's BSN program. But the thing is, their program is very competitive as I've been told. I think I will do just fine with my classes, but my only concern is the math classes. I'm not good at math and it has never been my favorite subject. I feel that the math classes will bring my GPA down. So I've been really worried about what if I don't get into KU's BSN program? I really want to get into their program but I'm worried that since it's so competitive, I won't be accepted. Is there a backup plan I should have in case I don't get in? And if anyone has been accepted into KU's BSN program, how competitive was it?

I was not accepted but to put into perspective, KU's program is very competitive. I have a 3.7 GPA and was a member of the KU Honors Program and was also an intern at KUMC- one of my letters of recommendation came from the clinical lab director at KU SON and I was put on the wait list. There are lots of schools around the KC area (Washburn, Saint Luke's, Baker, UMKC, Mid America Nazarene) just to name a few. I am not saying don't apply to KU, just have an open mind and be willing to apply to many places.

Best of luck to you!
