Hello, I'm currently in MSU's accelerated program. My cohort's average GPA was 3.57, but I know many people in the program whose GPA was quite a bit below that. Even if your GPA is a little on the low side, I think you have a shot with all your CNA e...

I'm debating about whether I should apply. I'm starting an ABSN and my EFC is ~$8000. I'm under 24 and my parents' income is factored into it despite the fact they won't be paying a dime towards it. Does anyone know if I'd just be put behind everyon...

How are you all doing on your compliance? I only need 1 vaccine and I'm getting it done this week so I was just taking a closer look at the vaccine form and noticed that we need titers for MMR, chickenpox, and Hep B. The Hep B is suppose to be done b...

I accepted my admission. You might be able to ask State where you are on the waiting list. They accept people off the waitlist until orientation. I wouldn't give up hope yet as people may give up their seats in the program between now and then and pe...

I just finished up going through the application process for ABSN programs. I'm from MI but I ran into the same issue. While the schools had a lot of overlap in prerequisites, the majority of them had at least 1 prereq that the others didn't have and...

Thank you! It was merit based. I don't know how I got such a good scholarship but I'll take it. I know I had really excellent letters of recommendation, good GRE scores, and I've had a wide variety of experiences.

Anyone worried about how the Nassar scandal might affect the school? State was my top choice but between Nassar and them delaying sending out acceptances...

What cohort did you get in? I'm East Lansing.

I'm a recent graduate with a bachelor's in biology. I haven't had a real career but my jobs have included managerial positions and working as a lab tech. I have research experience and I've done a small amount of volunteering in a hospital.

I received 45K and I think that's the largest beside a full ride scholarship. They split up the scholarship evenly among the 5 semesters. They have information about the scholarships on their website.

Check your emails! I was accepted. Did either of you hear anything?

Hello, I'd like to apply for the upcoming cycle and am a little confused. Is the HPSP program separate from the VA Nursing Academic Partnership program? It looks like it is but the link from the VA's website is to the application for the academic par...

I got an email today saying that they haven't made any admissions decisions yet. They'll have decisions by the end of February.

I'm currently working as a substitute teacher while I wait to start a second-degree nursing program. I have a lot of respect for teachers as it's definitely not something I could do for the rest of my life. You should try to get as much exposure as p...

lcinic, on the admissions site it says student who applied for the January 1st deadline will hear back in early March. In the meantime, I'd just keep busy and the time will fly by! Good luck and I hope to see you in the fall!

I would look at ABSN programs in NY, NJ, and CT and see what pre-reqs they require, what the average GPA and pre-req GPA of their admitted students is, and what the cost would be. I've just finished up the ABSN/Direct-entry MSN admissions process and...

Hello, I tuned into the webinar and have already recieved my financial aid information. You don't have to put down your deposit to get your full financial aid info. After your FAFSA is verified, call the financial aid office and ask how to apply for ...

I also applied for the May cohort. I haven't heard anything yet but I looked at last year's thread and it looks like they started hearing back on January 12th. Hopefully that means we'll hear back soon! My GPA is around 3.8 but I don't have a lot of ...

Has anyone gotten into either GVSU's or Eastern Michigan's accelerated BSN without taking any of the prereqs at the school? Both schools give preference to students who took prereqs at their school. My bachelor's is in biology with a chemistry minor ...
