Nova Southeastern University Entry Level BSN Winter 2014

dfridm, BSN · Sep 23, 2013

Hey everyone, I applied to the winter 2014 Nova Nursing Program also, but still haven't heard back for an interview/Kaplan test. I took my prerequisites at Palm Beach State and have a 3.71 over all GPA, and a 3.77 science GPA. Personally, I'm worried I won't even get called in for an interview because I had withdrawn out of 2 science courses. I retook them the following semesters and earned an A in both of them however. Regardless, that was enough for Barry to not even look at my application. Now I'm a little shook that Nova might be doing the same thing. I'm applying to FAU also, and am taking their TEAS Sept. 30th. Starting to really freak that I might not get into any program with those withdrawals. I was mostly worried about my GPA so I didn't think withdrawals would be such a problem.

You have a great GPA @dfridm I think you have a really good chance of an interview! I don't see why withdrawing a class would affect you.

@kriistennicole, I hope you're right, thanks! I had a virtual chat today with two advisors who were answering questions for Nova to whoever wanted to ask. Quite a few people had stated that they already received notification for their interview/Kaplan test. When I asked if it was possible that I hadn't received a request for an interview due to my withdrawals situation, the advisor asked me to email her so that she could look up my information. I did so, and am waiting on a response from her. I didn't realize it at the time but withdrawals matter to these programs. I thought it was just our GPA's. I tried applying to Barry University first and as soon as they seen my 2 withdrawals, they didn't even look any further. Barry did not take into account my GPA, so I'm a little worried that the same thing is going to happen with Nova.

I have pre reqs in progress and recently applied for the ban entry level program at nsu. I am so disappointed because an advisor told me that my chances of being interviewed were very low since I had pre reqs in progress.. anybody in the same boat??

Glendys · Sep 24, 2013

we are in the same boat!! Im taking Micro, Sociology, A&P 2 and human growth & development this semester and the advisor told me that my application is going to remain pending. They are going to look at those who have completed 100% of the prereqs, and then, if needed, they will consider the ones with pre reqs in progress, like us.. I feel so sad because I really want to go to Nova! However, Im not up to wait until next fall to do my bachelor, so Ill probably apply somewhere else.. :/

Same here @glendys It's so disheartening :\ But we need to be positive. In earlier posts people were accepted with classes in progress for previous semesters.
