We are the Advisors and Counselors at the Medical Education Campus with Northern Virginia Community College. We will attempt to answer your questions about the upcoming Spring 2021 Nursing admissions process.
All course work must be final by the program deadline of September 20, 2020. Course work that
Ends after the deadline of September 20, 2020, will not count
has not transferred AND posted to your NOVA account from an external school Including other VCCS schools, will not count.
For example, you submit your GMU transcript on September 20, 2020, and your transfer credit post-September 31, your applicants would have been rejected.
Common reasons applications don't make it past the initial review for eligibility
The student did not take a course listed as an entry requirement
The student took a course listed as an entry requirement but never transferred the credit to NOVA via the official transfer credit process.
The student had a C- or did not take a required high school level course
The student never provided their high school transcript with their application.
We are still waiting on the final word for the ATI TEAS exam. Check our website for an update on July 17.

If your high school was in a different country you will need a course by course evaluation by either www.ece.org or www.ierf.org.
All students regardless of the level of education are required to provide their high school transcripts
not doing so will automatically flag your application and lead to a rejection

What application has a better chance of being accepted? Having both A”s in Bio 141/Pysch 230 and 3/4 coreqs? Or having An A/B in bio 141 and Pysch but have all 4 coreqs completed?
Hey guys! Im applying to the Spring 21 term but needed a bit of an input, I have 2 B's in human anatomy 141 and 142 (I had already taken 142 before it wasn't a pre req anymore) and an A in PSYCH 230, Im debating if I should retake BIO 141 again so I can get an A and better my chances but Im not sure if a B would still be competitive. I am paying out of pocket and I don't want to spend any unnecessary money LOL I am also in the NOVA area which I know is a bit of an advantage. I also have a B in BIO 150

I would definitely recommend taking bio 141 again for an A as well as knock out the other co reqs to make yourself more competitive.
Hey y’all! Quick question! What’s a better application! Having A”s in bio 141/Pysch230 and 3/4 coreqs completed? Or having an A/B in those 2 courses but all 4 coreqs completed?? THANK YOU!

Please be aware that if you retake a course at NOVA the most recent grade will count This means that if you take the course and get a lower grade that is the grade that will now be counted towards your GPA.
What application is more strong. All 4 coreqs completed but An A in Pysch230 and a B in bio 141, or both A”s in bio 141/Pysch230 but 3/4 Coreqs completed
For those with all 4 co-reqs completed…have you thought ahead to what you will do for Spring semester if you do not get into the program? I have As in PSY and BIO 141 and currently 3 co-reqs completed. I am hoping this will be enough to get me in, but I'm not hopeful. I am taking the 4th co-req now in the Fall so I don’t want to sit out a semester without any classes to take. Can we start taking BSN level classes at NOVA that will transfer to say, GMU?
