MGH BSN 2012

[ljw28]

Hi all! Anyone else out there apply for the MGH Accelerated BSN class starting in January of 2012? I've read that some people who were waitlisted for the cohort starting this month were offered spots in the Jan 2012 class, so I'm wondering how many people were offered and accepted that option... hopefully that doesn't cut down on the spots available too significantly. But, I also wonder if not as many people were aware they opened up this new class, so maybe fewer applicants?? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking :)

gglove317,

I got my BS in Biobehavioral Health at Penn State. My GPA was a 3.49 and I have ~4 years of experience working as an EMT and 200+ hours of shadowing an emergency room physician in a busy emergency department. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi,

I'm applying now to the BSN for May 2013. Any tips on applying?

I have a BA in two majors Art History and Jewish studies with a 3.7 GPA and just started my prerequisites. MGHIHP is my first choice, but I got a C in college my first semester. Do you think this will affect my chances of getting in? I also have done hardly any work in healthcare, I volunteered at a hospital about 4 years ago. Should I start doing some other interning or volunteer work in healthcare to up my chances? HELP! I'm nervous about getting in.

Also , what is the cohort program that you mentioned?

Thanks
