Hello. Asking on behalf of my husband with very low GPA who is looking at the NYU ABSN program due to no GPA requirement.
He has a Bachelor's in Biology with 2.6 GPA, EMT-B certification (but never worked as one), 2 years experience as a pharmacy tech, 3 years experience as patient care tech at a hospital, two recommendation letters from registers nurses, one of whom is the director of nursing at the hospital. He has all A's in the prerequisites except Chemistry where he got a B, and two prerequisites which are currently ongoing.
Obviously NYU is bound to be very competitive, however, given their holistic approach I was thinking maybe he has a chance with the extensive work experience and great letters of recommendation. I do not work in the healthcare field and have no idea what to expect.
Appreciate anyone with insights.
