[jessjones92]

Hi Everyone,

I am just starting a thread for MCPHS Boston ABSN program for Fall 2019! Anyone else applying to the program or applied and was accepted?

Hi everyone! congratulations to all who got accepted. Quick questions

1. For those who applied to the Boston ABSN program, was it on NursingCAS or the MCPHS Portal?

2. What made you choose Boston over Worcester/ Manchester?

Did everyone complete their pre-reqs? I still have the 2nd level Chem course, I'm FREAKING OUT about it!

I'm doing my second semester of A&P and we have our first midterm next week! I feel your pain ?

I live in Boston and NCLEX scores are pretty high in Boston; great hospitals in the area, etc.

I believe there's one for the Boston cohort, but I haven't seen one for Worcester or Manchester yet

Made this account just to comment. I got into the Boston program on Friday and just made my deposit tonight! I'm pretty happy with the financial aid I got too. I requested to be added to the facebook group too.

Hi! I was also accepted last week but I was wondering where you see the amount of aid you received?

Im taking my second chemistry course now it's my last prerequisite. At this point I don't even care because I've been talking classes nonstop since last summer.

I still have to take Chem II as well but I am taking it online through Broome Community College. I took Chem I for the second time online through them and MCPHS accepted it. The course starts 6/03/19!

Hi guys I applied to mcphs absn last year and got rejected, I feel like this fall's application is stronger than my first. my question is did any of you guys retake your prerequisites due to withdraw/bad grade? I also applied to northeastern absn and the admissions counselor told me it was bad to them. I hope I get into nursing school this time!

I got a D+ the first time I took chemistry because I took a 4 week accelerated course and retook it during the school year to get an A. Otherwise I have a 4.0 prereq GPA. My undergrad gpa is only a 3.3 and I majored in history so I really wanted to show that I was able to handle science classes etc. I think my prereq GPA and my essay are what helped me the most. I hope that helps some.
