Hello-
I wanted to start a thread for applicants applying for 2018. I recently applied and I am anxiously waiting for a decision!
Hey! I'm waiting to hear back from Manchester. Can i ask what your prerequisite and undergrad GPAs are?
My undergrad GPA was actually a 2.5 (very low for nursing), but I turned it around in pre-reqs. I have a 3.5 in the last 60 units I've taken (53 of those since undergrad). I think Manchester looks at you pretty holistically which is nice. I sent in a personal statement and letters of req even though they weren't required. I also graduated in 2008, so they could see lots of work and volunteer experience in the time since undergrad, so I'm sure that was helpful. Give them a call! It took me calling a few times, but once I got the right person on the phone things moved along quickly. Best of luck!
My undergrad GPA was 3.6 (graduated Dec 2017) and pre-req GPA for MCPHS was 3.1 ( I also had a C in A&P 2). I sent them 4 recommendation letters and a strong personal statement. I have a lot of experience as a medical assistant for 4 years, internship/shadowing at 3 hospital, and a medical trip to Dominican Republic. I think they look at everything, not just GPA. Good luck!
I also started a Facebook group for MANCHESTER absn fall students! please join to coordinate rooming options!

Hi, just wanted to ask a question. How long did it take to get a call after you were waitlisted? I was waitlisted in late february and have yet to hear anything after submitting an additional essay. Any info would help. Thanks.
