hi all! i literally didnt even know had an ABSN program. i looked at the program pre reqs and it says

B.A. or B.S. degree

GPA of 3.0 or higher

Personal Statement (500 words - Why you want to become a nurse)

Please note: Applicants with under a 3.0 GPA can apply to this program. Students may be considered for an admissions interview at the discretion of the Nursing program.

If you are considered, a Program Director will contact you.

i have a 2.97 but have a lot of upper level science classes. only pre req im taking rn is ap2..my statement is really unique. i have 3 letter of recs too. do you guys reccomend i apply? or its too late?

You can apply but not for Spring. Spring admissions are closed. They also mentioned that if your prereqs are not complete, they won't look at your application. So, I would say finish up AP 2 then apply. You can try for Summer or Fall. Good luck on your quest.

@special-k sure. I was told that Spring 2020 Semester is closed and they are no longer taking applications. Applications that didn't make it on time can be either moved to the Summer or Fall Semester - you would need to tell admissions which semester.

For the people who did apply in time for Spring 2020, they told us decisions will be given no later than November 15th. You will be informed by phone and email. Once you hear from them, three things that will happen: you will either get accepted, deferred to the next semester, or you will get denied. They did not tell us how many spots will be open for the Summer or Fall 2020 but we do know only 32 will be admitted for Spring.

As far as scheduling goes, you will have 2 days of classes during the week and 1 day of clinical. Classes will be all day and clinical will be 5 hours starting at 7am.

Hope this helps! I'll be more than happy to answer any other questions.

@special-kthey just announced that they are having a Summer semester this Saturday so it's probably still new. I'm sure they will put it in the system later on. Mercy College just started this new ABSN program 7 weeks ago so they are constantly making changes.

I would just submit your application asap. Admissions told everyone the earlier the better! And you can always call their office and request for your application to be placed in the Summer. You can call ————. He is the admissions staff in charge of all acclerated nursing applications. Good luck!
