Nursing students in NYC + CUNY: BMCC

Published

Does anyone have any thoughts about CUNY: BMCC and how difficult it is to get into the nursing program there? I am considering going to a private school after finishing my pre-reqs because I understand the competition with CUNY may be a problem....

I'm starting at BMCC this fall. Math for health science and physiology are my two first pre-requisite classes. Your postings are really helpful. Thank you

I am taking my pre-reqs at BMCC as we speak and to be honest, I went there for just that...my pre-courses. BMCC is really competitive when it comes to their nursing program and I am just to old, to keep up with that. After I got my GED, I went to BMCC to get my Associates in Liberal Arts because I was such idiot. I then graduated from Brooklyn College, and now I want to be a nurse, so I came back to BMCC because of the professors. If you don't digest anything from this response, please believe this: The professors at BMCC take good care of you. Alot of them (the professors) understand that there are some students with children and more than one job, and 9 times out of 10, they will work with you...that is why, I went back there to do my pre-courses. I am trying to get into any BSN program, but I want to leave New York because..BMCC is an awesome school, but I don't think Jesus or his mother could get in... Some peeps get in, but they are the cream of the crop..

I am not saying this to discourage you...I think you should apply, if you can bring it...if you know what I mean. In my sitaution I have to work full time, and a 3.9, or 4.0 GPA is out of the question. I'm applying to private schools because CUNY has a waiting list...

Peace and good luck to you. And please don't take this as another person trying to shoot you down so that they can get in, my GPA is low and I am stuck because, when it comes to math...you know the rest.:uhoh3:

At the moment Im taking my pre-reqs at Hunter, but wont be applying there. I heard their program is SUPER competitive. I just applied to BCC, KBCC, QBCC and Laguardia for the ADN program. Im waiting to here from them now. Im done with all my pre-reqs so we shall see. Anyone attend the program at Laguardia?

I'm a Laguardia nursing grad. Slots are more limited, because we only have morning classes. 3.8 was the cutoff for Spring 07. Good luck!
