    a 4.0 GPA does not help

    PacoUSA replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A school that has a lottery to pick its nursing class is NOT in my book a school that deserves someone like you. Apply to other schools that will embrace your hard work in your prereqs and your...

    I know that the decisions for the 1 years are made first and acceptance to that admission is time sensitive, right? I think I can answer this question based on my experience last year. When I got my...

    When to take Pharmacology

    PacoUSA replied to Ele_123's topic in General Students
