I had a 3.25 and was accepted into a direct entry program. I know for a fact that the grades I received in my science classes had a greater weighted placed on them, than art or gym. I did well (not excellent) in both the English and Math portions on the GRE, so that may have influenced the graduate committee. Plus don't forget to WOW them with your personal statement, mine was 680 words, which I believe made a great impact.

I am under the belief that if you graduate from a State Community college with a 2 year degree (LPN) you are guaranteed a slot in a State College, for further education (BSN). Salem state must take you as a transfer, if all your credits are from a 2 year State funded community college, grades at transferable and you complete paperwork by deadline. This policy may have changed, but you may want to talk to a college counselor.

i can't wait for classes to begin. even though vacation is canceled. i want to thank everyone who replied, especially salamandarn, your visual representation of what i can expect my first year was pretty informative, thanks...

Well, I am disappointed. My husband said, "you won't be going to Key West with me?" "just kidding." I won't be taking our annual vacation, will be out about a thousand in non-refundable airfare and deposits. I sure hope this program is worth it. I have NEVER fell behind when I've missed classes during our annual October's VACA. I am going into this program with 100%, I have never take grad level classes prior and wondered how the direct entry class prep. compares to past undergrad class prep?

Reservation is already booked,and is a non-refundable flight. I am so worried, my husband works very hard and deserves a yearly vacation, but will I be sacrificing my grade? Will professor accommodate circumstance?

I have been accepted into the 2010 Salem State College's Direct entry program, and My husband and I have reservation to go away for a week, in October. It is his only vacation time and it costs a small fortune. If any one has attended this program, will I miss a lot of class time and risk my grades, or are instructors willing to work with students in this kind of situation? I believe if flow-sheet is up to date I will be taking, Nur712 and 2 other classes.
