Yeah that's what I was afraid of, and I'm sure you're probably right about that. Well... I'll find out on Monday for sure! Ugh.

So... I was 100% convinced that I should do an ABSN because it could be faster, but then I started looking into ADN programs. I saw that they about 1.5 years to complete, but since I have already taken a lot of the prerequisites for an ABSN (like A&P, chem, statistics, and developmental psych, which are also classes that are part of an ADN program), then it would probably only take me half the time to complete, or probably even less (as long as they didn't make me retake the classes, which would be weird...). Therefore, I could become a nurse sooner, it would be much cheaper, and then I could work on doing an RN-BSN a little while later and, hopefully, eventually BSN - FNP. Can anyone give me advice? What would you do? I really am not sure.

Thanks so much for your help! What do you think made your application stand out? Why do you think you were chosen over other people with better GPAs?

Thanks! That makes me feel better since our GPAs are similar and I also have a 4.0 in prereqs so far from my community college. I'm so nervous about this!

Hi Devin! I'm going to be apply for the 2019 cohort, but I'm curious what your GPA was when you applied? What about other people you know? I only have a 3.4 cumulative (not including prereqs). I attended one 4 year school and two different community colleges, but I graduated my university with a 3.62. I so far have all A's in prereqs. Do you think I have a good shot of getting accepted? I also work as a CNA.... I'm freaking out about it!

Actually, I calculated my cumulative GPA wrong. I just did it right, and my cumulative GPA is higher than I though! 3.42 (not including my prerequisites which I have A's in so far). That's not bad, right?

Hey Milly, I am going to be applying to WSSU's ABSN next year, and I was wondering if you got accepted? My GPA is similar to yours which is why I'm wondering!

I just found out that I'm not able to apply to NC A&T's program because I failed a stats class like 7 years ago. I'm crushed. That was my #1 choice. Ugh, so now I'm looking at other options. NC does not have much to choose from, so now I'm kind of freaking out. I graduated from my university with a 3.65 GPA (however, taking into account the two community college I attended, I only have a 3.3 cumulative GPA. That doesn't include my prerequisites that I'm currently taking, though). I am also currently working as a CNA. Do you think I should have a good chance of getting in? I have no backup plan as of now.

Have you found out if you got accepted? What was your GPA? I'm going to be applying in April! I have a 3.65 GPA and all A's in prereqs so far...do you think I have a good shot of getting in?

Hey! I haven't applied for 2018, but I'm applying for next year and I am just wondering what everyone's GPA's were? I graduated from my university with a 3.65, but including the community college I went to, my cumulative GPA is a 3.3.... So far have all A's in the prereqs though. I'm nervous about getting in!

I would love to go to Stony Brook, but I just kind of thought I wouldn't be able to get it. Plus I'm not sure if my husband would be able to find work out there. I feel like my GPA isn't good enough for Stony Brook's ABSN. :/

I'm currently living in NYC, and I absolutely hate it here. My husband and I want to leave ASAP. I'm currently doing my pre-reqs at the community college because I was thinking of transferring to a school here, but I really don't want to anymore. I read a bit about Louisiana College, which looks like a good school and it looks like a good price. The only thing is is that it has more pre-reqs than I really wanted to do.... Also, if you're wondering why I don't just stay here and go to a public school since it would be cheaper: the public schools here in NYC are SUPER competitive (because they're cheap and there's free tuition here now), and they require a ton of pre-reqs so I wasn't even going to apply. So I will most likely go the private route. My undergrad GPA is a 3.65, and my current GPA for pre-reqs is a 4.0. Please help! My neighbor punched me in the chest today; I HAVE to get out of this terrible city!!!

Thanks for your replies! Were you able to find a job pretty quickly once you graduated?

Thanks! Do you mind telling me what your stats were like? GPA and experience? So are you now attending CMSV? How do you like it?
