Hello everyone! This posts are for those who are planning to attend or applied to MCPHS in Worcester Accelerated Nursing program in Fall 2013! :cat:

Hello there,

I also got accepted into the Worcester program for Fall 2013. I'm very excited but also really nervous because I'm moving all the way from the west coast.

Hey everyone,

My name is Maria -- I just graduated from MCPHS-Worcester campus' Nursing program this past May and took my nursing boards last week (which I passed!). I can tell you that the program is definitely INTENSE but if you put in the time and effort -- you will survive and be prepared not only in clinical but also when you take your nursing boards. BTW feel free to message me with any questions! :)

Hi everyone

I am very interested in applying for the accelerated bsn program for spring 2014 and if anyone can tell me what the gpa requirement is. I only have a 3.2 gpa and this low gpa is holding me back from a lot of schools. I'm sorry if this question was addressed before but i would truly appreciate if someone can let me know in a nutshell the entire application process/ gpa/ pre-reqs. THanks :)

Hey Lisa14

So I just graduated this past May and coming into the accelerated BSN program I had a similar GPA (3.2) as you did. Their requirements for the program are on their website and it includes Bio I and II, Chem I and II, Statistics, Micro, and Psych (Life Span). I applied through their own application and I actually went and visited the campus on what was called "Walk-In Wednesday" where you meet with someone from Admissions. Some of my classmates had interviews however I did not - although I assumed that my meeting during "Walk in Wednesday" was a kind of informal interview. They provide a lot of important information about on the website and if you have any other specific questions you can always contact the Admissions department at the Worcester campus -- and they are always very helpful. Good luck!

Thank you so much mdela for answering. Was your 3.2 gpa overall or just science classes?

Hey Lisa14 -- 3.2 was my overall GPA. I don't know exactly what my gpa for my science courses were but I feel that they do a good job picking students who are not all about studying 24/7 but have different life/health care/volunteer experiences to offer as well. My advice would be to just apply and see what happens. The folks at the admissions office are super nice and are always happy to answer any questions. If you have time, make an appointment with Admissions and bring your questions. Like I said before, I went there with my questions and I truly feel that it served as an informal interview because a week after that meeting, I received an email asking if I had applied yet. Once I applied I received a letter in the mail within 1-2 weeks saying I was accepted. So if you can visit or at least exchange emails with someone with questions, there is a better chance they will remember you. Again, good luck!

Hey guys, i have been reading you're guy post for a while. I am applying to MCPHS ABSN program in Boston. But i am having a little problem, my application was suppose to open up on Sept 1st but it has yet not opened so everytime i try to finish my app it tells me to " Choose a program" but there is no option to pick from because they don't have any nursing programs on there. If anyone can please advice me on what to do would be great.

Also can i just know the stats of anyone that got in if you don't mind sharing. I currently have a 3.2 finished all of my science pre reqs except chem ll and im in progress of finishing chem l but have yet to finish english and math. I'm a certified nurse assistant, and have pretty strong recommendation letter and i think i have a solid personal statement. is this good enough or should i wait. i am little worried about not getting in. : /
