Hi, I wanted to get some information about MSC. I'm currently applying to GMC to get my pre reqs completed hopefully by the end of the year. I considered GMC because they have the quarter system and 5 quarters a year. Which means I can complete the classes in half the time:D.

So I wanted to know if anyone has any information about MCS NS program. How is the application process? How's your chances of getting in? How often a year does the program start?

Any information will be gratefully appreciated!!:yeah::yeah:

Thanks in Advance

Hey!

Well the BSN program at MSC is open in the Fall, so you can only apply once a year. You can apply to the ASN program in the Fall and the Spring.

You have to take the TEAS and make at least the national average to be considered. Normally, there are around 300 people taking the TEAS in the Fall; however, that doesn't mean they are all applying for the BSN program. This year, the national average was a 62. Last year though, the national average was a 76. So, it varies each year. Unlike the NET, the TEAS has a huge Science portion on it and it is literally "Middle School" science. But don't worry, no one does good in that section: the national average for the Science section was a 40 something this year.

Last year, MSC narrowed down the applicants to 100 students and those students went through an interview process. After that, 50 were left for the BSN program. This year, they are not doing an interview stage. They are basing their choices off of overall GPA, "science and math" GPA, TEAS score, as well as background checks.

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to applying to MSC winter next year so that way I can apply for the fall BSN and ASN whichever i get into (hopefully BSN).

But, overall it doesn't matter in the end they both lead you to the same license. One degree is higher of course lol..

But thanks again the information really helped ALOT:D:D:D
