   Kent State ABSN - Spring 2020

   Eka11191 replied to Eka11191's topic in Ohio

   there’s a lot of affordable apartments in the neighboring areas! definitely look into places like Stow, Streetsboro, Cuyahoga Falls, and of course Kent too, but sometimes the rent can be high in Kent though

   Kent State ABSN - Spring 2020

   Eka11191 replied to Eka11191's topic in Ohio

   I grew up about 5 miles down the road from Kent in a neighboring city called Tallmadge. Kent is a pretty cool area, you’ll like it! Can’t wait to meet everyone in our cohort! will you be able to make it to the orientation in November coming from out of state?

   Kent State ABSN - Spring 2020

   Eka11191 posted a topic in Ohio

   Hey guys! I just applied to Kent State for their Spring 2020 cohort of their Accelerated BSNprogram. I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone else out there has applied? From what my email confirmation states, we won’t hear back with decisions until early October. the anticipation is killing me! Here are my stats: Overall GPA: 3.6 Science GPA: 4.0 I haven’t finished all the core sciences yet, I’m taking A&P2 in the fall, so I dont get the 1 bonus point. I do however have all 4 of the “blue” courses done which at .5 bonus points each gives me 2 bonus. So total points for me is 9.6/11. I’m hoping this makes me competitive! Please let me know what your guys stats are!!

   Kent State University ABSN question...

   Eka11191 replied to Madsieb's topic in Ohio

   it is to my understanding that Kent State does not factor in a master's degree, previous healthcare experience, volunteering, etc. They only go by the cumulative GPA and the science GPA, and extra points for whether you have completed the prereqs + extra "blue" courses at the time of application. I was told that even in progress "blue" courses give the extra point at the time of application, whereas the main science prereqs have to be completed in order to get the extra point. So if you're looking to up your points, register for some of the "blue" courses for fall (assuming you're applying for spring?) before you apply so they'll be considered in progress.

    Kent State ABSN

    Eka11191 posted a topic in Ohio

    Hello all! I am looking at applying for the Kent State ABSN program for Spring 2020 start. Unfortunately I just missed the last info session, I was wondering if anyone could explain or provide insight on the stats they are looking for entry? How many students do they admit for the daytime cohort usually? I’ve looked over the website and the gpa they have listed seems low. I have a pretty high gpa (3.8) and I’m taking my science prerequisites now (4.0 so far). I also heard they have some sort of points system? Can someone explain that? Thanks in advance!

    TAMU Second Degree BSN stats

    Eka11191 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello all, I'm incredibly new to this forum. I've been looking into the second degree BSN program at Texas A&M University. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies that I received in 2014, and I've since been working admin in an outpatient plastic surgery center. Working in a medical office has really made me realize that I want to become a nurse! Since I have a BA, I know I'm going to have several science prereqs to take before I even get close to applying. At this point, I'm thinking I may Apply in the next 2-3 years. My total GPA from my undergrad was 3.8. I'm just looking for general info on the stats/gpa of people who've been accepted into the TAMU second degree program, info on competitiveness, and any other relevant information (like, did any of you have a BA as well? Or a degree in something totally non-science related? I'm worried that not having a science background will hurt my chances...). thanks in advance!
