Massasoit Community College Fall 2016 Nursing Program

Hello, I also am finishing my pre-reqs at Massasoit. I am taking A&P I this fall semester and will only be missing A&P II which I will take in the Spring hopefully. I applied last year just for the heck of it and thought maybe they would consider my experience and forget the fact that I didnt have my Anatomy classes complete. I was denied. I spoke with one of the counselors that use to be on the nursing committee that accepts the students. She was very clear that even if your grades are outstanding and you have military experience, medical experience, ect., that if both Anatomy courses were not complete and with a good grade then the chances of getting accepted are very slim. I am applying again for the 2016 program just to see if I get it. I have a 4.0 GPA, military medical experience, and civilian medical experience working as a surgical tech. I am not relying on going to Massasoit. My top choice is BHSON. They have a great reputation and a high NCLEX pass rate. Since my GI BILL pays most of the bill I am not concerned about how expensive that school is. At this point I just need to get in somewhere ! So I plan on applying everywhere. I am disappointed in Massasoits system of accepting nursing students. I believe it is bias. I know personally some students that got in with pre-reqs still missing but their letter of reference was superb and somehow the reference was connected to the college. I also know students that got in with lower grades and a pre-req still missing over students that have all A's and no pre-reqs missing. The only difference was their ethnicity. While I understand affirmative action, i believe it still has its negative aspects.
