hi all! i'm new here, i've been lurking for a few days, but this is my first post. i have a question. i've just confirmed my offer of admission to mohawk college's pre-health program (beginning january 2011.) i didn't complete high school, so this is my only route to gaining admission into the mohawk/mcmaster bscn program. i'm just wondering if anyone has an idea of the level of difficulty i'm going to have gaining entry to the bscn program? i'm planning on taking a high school chemistry course to brush up as well. does anyone know how many mature applicants mohawk accepts from their pre-health program, and what the average grades they want to see are? they mention 75% on their website, but i'm sure with such a competitive program it is higher than that. is there anyone on this site who has entered the program from pre-health? do you have any advice for me? sorry for so many questions, it's just i really want this!! i've wanted to be a nurse for a long, long time! ____________________________________________________________________________________________ hi!, i am a graduate of the pre-health science program, and gained entry into the mohawk-mcmaster bscn program! personally, it was not as difficult to achieve a high average. my overall average was 89%, and i was on the deans honour roll for both semesters. that aside, the average changes for entry into the bscn program every year based upon the number of students who apply. but typically there are only 60-65 seats available to mohawk prehealth students, and with the actual number of pre-health students the average sometimes exceeds 75%. that being said, the program coordinator ********, is an excellent person to address these questions. another great person is ***** the admissions officer of the bscn program at momac. i graduated the prehealth in april 2010, and there was great competition to get it, and not many people got into the program. it seems the program is becoming very popular and as a result the admission average starts at 75%. again, it depends on the number of people applying to the program. i honestly think the prehealth program has many great instructors and the whole college has been renovated over the past year! the atmosphere is very competitive as you will have friends applying to the same program! the pressure is really on once you start. good luck! and here are the numbers for people you should contact about averages and such: good luck! and contact me if you have any additional questions about the program!
