NJCU FastTrack BSN Program Admission Requirements

Published

I'm getting ready to apply to the 2011 FastTrack BSN Program at New Jersey City University. I was wondering what standards people had that were accepted to the program in the past. I know it says 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 Scale (preferred but NOT required) Have people been accepted to this program with a lower GPA? If so, what was it? And what else did you have to excel on in order to get into the program?

Yeah i think 300 based upon what my friends told me. Other boards on this site also say that there were about 300 as well. Who knows!!

Good thing I am busy this summer or else i would sit around and obsess until July!

I think we will be finding out by the middle of July. It sucks waiting but there's not much to do at this point. I don't really know what selection criteria is most important to the school... We are all in the same boat waiting.

Has anyone called this week for another update? We're past the 4 week mark now! As far as selection criteria, I know they strongly consider your pre-requisite grades, HESI score and recommendations.

Hey

I took the test on May 17th 2011 for the Fall Jersey City campus. I scored an 84.86% on a class average that is 80. I'm playing this waiting game which is nerve wrecking. My gpa is 2.7 when I was at another university. I know its bad...but my science prerequisites at a community college are A's and B's with a 3.5 gpa. So I'm not sure what they are going to look at. I recently called the Secretary up and she says they are in the decision making process. Has anyone been accepted with less than a 3.0? Recommendation letters are from my boss, chemist, and collegue. Any opinion? Give it to me straight.

How were you able to take the HESI 4 weeks after the deadline of May 20?

I think we will all find out soon enough. I am sure the committee wants to make their decisions so they can go on vacation in July!

I'm currently in Bloomfield college also awaiting test scores there as well. I really want to know if I'm in or out. But I also want them to really thoroughly look at my application. Not just skim through and look at only major points of my application. I'm sure they are pretty tired looking through applications right about now. Seriously, good luck to everyone!

Nothing yet. Last week the secretary told me the same thing. Maybe they still need to finish up by the end of this week. Plus do they send out the letters via snail mail? Or email? Do they still do interviews? My guess is another week just to send them out via snail mail.
