Hi Ensunada, I did all of the prereqs for both programs, except biochem which I did through Mankato after I found out I got in. I actually moved to Mankato, but there are 5 people in the program who commute from Minneapolis. I will probably end up commuting the last semester. Good luck!

I would make absolutely sure that Metro State's program in accredited before you start. They have been working on getting this program together for a while. They accepted a class, and then pushed back their start date by a year, I think! I'm not sure they have it together over there. I applied to the U of M program last year and was put on the wait list. I have an ok GPA from my undergrad, and a 4.0 in my prerequisite work. I have 5 years of a successful career behind me. It is a very competitive program. I am currently in the accelerate BSN program at Minnesota State, Mankato. It is also competitive (16 people), but less so that the U's program. It is 15 months long, and so far I'm loving it. Good Luck!

Hi All, I also tested out of the course. I was able to do it at MCTC, and it was really easy! If you are looking for jobs, most want you to have the class. I just needed my certification for accelerated nursing programs. I was just accepted to the accelerated BSN program at Mankato!

Hi Everyone, I have my interview for the MN program at the U of M later this week. I was looking for some advice on preparing for it from anyone who may have been accepted into the program in the past. Also, any advice from others interviewing this year would be helpful. Thanks!
