  6. Curry Accel BSN- April 1st deadline

    PennyS replied to weluv3's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I wonder how many they place on the waitlist? I am starting to think that due to its small cohort, Curry is the most competitive Accel program in the area. I know someone who was rejected at Curry...

  14. Question about Prereq's

    PennyS posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    If you took Chem., where did you take it? I am frustrated by the differences in prereq. requirements among the various schools -i.e. UMass Boston: no Chem.; Curry: just says Chem., Simmons & MGH:...

    PennyS posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Am I missing something or do they not require recommendations? Also, if this is true, would it be frowned upon to submit one

    PennyS replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks! I am all about following directions so if they don't want them, then I won't include any.
