Have most on this forum made A's in Bio 141 and Psy 230? I am just wondering how competitive I am. I was able to maintain all A's in the prerequisite courses. I just finished Bio 142 and Math 154 this semester, but I do not think they will count. Best of luck to everyone.

I have As for both BIO 141 and PSY 230, and I have completed 2/4 co-reqs. Took BIO 142 last fall and am transferring a humanities elective from another institution. Planning to take BIO 150 and CST this Summer so that if I don’t get in, they’ll boost my application for the Spring.

good luck to you too!!

That's awesome. I think you have a great chance. I also transferred in humanities electives (forgot about those). Honestly, I think quite a few people have made great grades in the two most important classes, I wonder how they have determined who will make the cut. I know most people must be super anxious about finding out. Best of luck to you ?

I got A’s in PSY 230 & BIO 141. Plus I’ve completed all the co-reqs as well!

Yeah. I actually had planned on going to a nursing school in Florida (which requires more prerequisites), but because of covid-19, it made more sense for my husband and I to stay here and finish school. I just finished my associates in general studies at nova in December, so I happened to have everything completed.

I am sorry you had to change your plans as a result of Covid-19. I am, however really happy for you as you sound like an ideal candidate with awesome chances. Potentially a nice silver lining to your plans getting shifted a bit when you are accepted. ?

I doubt I'll get in, I didn't have any co-reqs completed by application time, although I just finished CST and BIO142 (with both As but they won't count), and I have all As in the pre-reqs but GPA doesn't help either. There's always Spring 2021.

That was such a sweet thing to say. I really appreciate it! He’s active duty navy and we were going to move closer to family, but it just makes sense to stay here and finish school. I wish you the best of luck! ?
