Hey everyone. I thought I'd see if anyone else on here is applying to NAU's accelerated BSN program this application cycle. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who is!

kierstm 6 Posts Oct 21, 2018 I'm applying for 2019! I'm super nervous. What are everyone's stats like? I'm a 4.0 with a 90 overall on the Kaplan and an 85 on science.

ama397 13 Posts Dec 20, 2018 Hey Fellow Prospective Students!I am applying as well for this cycle. I got my first undergrad degree from NAU and I absolutely adore Flagstaff. I am really hoping I get in - my GPA is a 3.86, I scored a 90% on the Kaplan, and an 80% in science which I am a tad worried about!

Got 100%You can't really study for the reading and writing portions, but there are typical questions like: which sentence has a punctuational mistake, which sentence can be removed from the paragraph, which word is misspelled, which statement best supports the authors viewpoint, etc... Science is 20 patho and physiology questions, nothing to hard. YouTube and these forums offer great insight into what questions will be asked. Just have a general knowledge of what systems do what in healthy and unhealthy conditions. No anatomy other than what the three fluid compartments are (know alternate names of these compartments).I finished like 40 minutes early. I took the gre and this was way easier. Double check your work on the reading and writing in particular, since I corrected 7 wrong answers ( it tells you which were corrected to the right answer at the end). Good luck!

Klcorb 20 Posts Feb 1, 2019 I applied!! My prereq gpa isn’t amazing, it’s a 3.59. The micro class I took was a 400 level class so I only got a B in it. I also got another B and two A- ?. But I did get a 92 overall on the Kaplan and a 95 on the science section so maybe that might help overshadow the gpa.If the rest of the applicants look like you all then my chances aren’t so great lol. Guess I’ll start using this time to work on plan B.
