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.

Completion of BIO 141
Completion fo PSY 230

Provide high school transcript-
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
Show that you took and passed in high school or college with a C or better [not C-]. If you took some other science course in place of Chemistry for example it is likely that it will not count.

Ah, I see. I'll be finishing up the courses for Mason this semester so if I don't get in I'll try Mason (or switch majors if I don't get into Mason's).
Hi! Can I ask what courses you’ve completed for the mason core? I just wanna make sure after this semester, I’ve knocked out all the courses in case I don’t get in to NOVAs program this Spring.
What is Masoncore? I plan to get my RN thru nova and transfer to Mason to finish my BSN. Can I not do that without taking other Mason Core classes? I think I need to talk to a counselor but not sure where to start (if it matters, I have all pre-reqs and co-reqs completed with all As but one B in General Pharmacology.

sorry I just saw all the post I would recommend looking at GMU’s online nursing information just Google GMU nursing. They have a lot of information on there, and you can also sign up for an information session. Hope it helps anyone else who may be interested in transferring to Mason. It could be helpful to look into the Co-enrollment as well that looks interesting if any of us get accepted to Nova’s program. That way we can work on the RN and BSN at the same time. Good Luck everyone:)

We would also advise that for those that get accepted and meet the criteria they look into the MASON ADVANCE for nursing https://www.nvcc.edu/advance/

Hello! I was not 100% sure if this was towards me, but this is what I have/will have completed for each requirement.
What is the percentage of applicant who have A and B in pre req to be accepted in the program. Is this applicant has a little chance to accept in the program?
