Wow, Congratulations!!! Thanks for the advice...Looks like since you had so much success with the prereqs and getting into to TCU, I'll take your advice :) Thanks and CONGRATS!!! again!!!!!!

Hi Premedturnednursing, If you don't mind sharing, what classes did you have to take(and/or retake) for prereqs at TCC? I'm planning on applying to the TCU accelerated BSN program for summer '10 entry. I have BA in psychology already and was initially a nursing major in 1998; so I already have the A&P I&II and micro. Though I bet I need to retake them since it's been so long. I'm a bit stressed because if I DO have to retake some prereqs then I might not be able to apply to the TCU program till Nov '10 for '11 entry. ALso, were there any 'surprise' prereq classes you had to take? I'm looking at the program prereq list, and gosh, a religion and speech class, too? I don't think I have either of those in my undergrad degree.

Hello! I'm looking into applying to the TCU accelerated BSN program, but I'm confused about the prereqs listed on their website ( http://www.nursing.tcu.edu/docs/ABTForms/ABT%20BSN%20Prereq_NotesR2-2008.pdf ). I have a BA in psychology. I actually took A&P I&II and Microbiology back in 1998. It's been over 10 years. The TCU prereq page says they prefer the classes have been taken within 10 years. Is there anyone else out there who was in my situation and ended up retaking them? Honestly, I think retaking them to raise the grades would be a good idea, anyway. I would want to go with the prereq grades and not overall gpa application option. So, if I have to retake A&P, I need to choose a community college to do that at. It appears that at Northlake college, a biology class is a prereq to taking A&P I that I didn't have to take originally. I wonder if I could get approval for that to be waived since I'm retaking A&P. Over at Tarrant County College, I don't see any such bio pre-req for A&P. Can anyone out there who is currently in (or has graduated from) the TCU program recommend which of these two community colleges is better for getting the TCU accelerated BSN program prereqs? Also, if you can give me any other pointers or anecdotes for how you went about getting your prereqs, I'd greatly appreciate that!! :)
