Lehman Accelerated Nursing- How hard is it to get in?

Published

Hi All,

I'm currently a second degree student at Lehman and I really want to get into the accelerated nursing program at Lehman but I'm feeling really down because everyone says it's way too competitive to even get in. I've spoken to a couple of advisors in the department who reiterated this. I've also heard from students who stopped applying because they say it's too hard to get in. So I want to hear from any of you currently in the program or trying to get into the program. What were the stats for those who were accepted for this past 2014 cycle? What were the undergrad and pre-req GPAs for those of you accepted, how about your HESI scores? My GPA is 3.4 in my undergrad degree (on the low end I know), however my science GPA is a clean slate, and I'm averaging an A so far in my science pre reqs. What do you think my chances are with that GPA, honestly? I'm still going to apply to other schools, but Lehman is my top. And right now, with everything I'm hearing about admissions, I'm feeling real down like I'm not competitive enough so I just need some cold hard advice/truth.

Side note: How about those currently at Hunter, what were your stats and do you think I may have a better chance there or at any other school/s?

Thanks you all in advance, this process can be so stressful at times.
