Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has heard from Marymount as to whether they were accepted into their Fall '09 Accelerated BSN program. I applied for the first round but am unsure as to when they will make decisions!! I am hoping to hear soon:)

Although, Chem 121 is suggested in the degree plan, I just spoke with the Dean of Nursing at Marymount (I took Chem 101 in the Spring), and if you are transferring courses from NVCC, Chem 101 transfers. As long as you take a 4 credit chem class with a lab, it fulfills the Chemistry requirement.
I graduated with a 3.9 GPA in psychology, so yes my GPA was high, but I took no traditional science courses during my degree, so I'm having to take all my science prereqs now before I start, soooo even tho my GPA was higher than yours I feel that a 3.0 is still great, and you have the advantage of a biology/health degree, have faith in yourself!! Have you completed all your other pre req's? A lot of people in my classes now are taking these classes to "boost their GPA" before they apply, if you havent taken sociology, statistics, psychology, even ethics(you won't have to take it during the program) etc, maybe you can take them to raise your GPA a little. :) Good luck, keep me posted :)
The pre reqs I took during my undergrad because they were needed for my major...I'm taking my ethics and sociology this fall. But I will have a new gpa since I already graduated...I'm not sure if when I will apply they will average that in the old undergrad gpa . I have hope of getting in. I mean I had a pretty hard major so I wasn't a stellar student I had a c here and there.but I made mistakes my freshman year college so that's what made my gpa suffer a bit.I had friends who got into med school with a 2.8 so I think there is. Hope...

I have "heard" that they combine all GPA's from schools attended when they look at your "overall" GPA, but its second hand information so I don't know, I think taking ethics and sociology this fall is a great idea, work hard and you'll get A's!!
Well either way my prereg gpa will go up and also my overall ..I looked at princton review and they listen the avg gpa for entering bsn and the avg is 3.1-3.3....overall for this school....most of the other programs have the same avg....well my gpa will be in that range or near it after my two classes I have to take...I also have a lot of volunteering and I have my phlebotomy license so that should be a boost...
Could someone please answer my questions about Marymount's ABSN. First, is the Accelerated BSN a one year program or 15 months? Is the tuition $44,740 for the program? This seems excessive, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks
