Thank You :)

Sorry for the spelling errors lol...my spell check wasn't working, fully aware of how that reflects as someone trying to get into a prestigious program [embarrassed].

Hello, I was hoping to get some insight on the possibilities of getting into the basic BSN program at UM Ann Arbor. I am very aware of how competitive it is and need a non-sugar-coated answere....here's the situation: I am finishing my 3rd semester at Mott Community College,[spring, summer, fall], and should finish with a 4.0...unless I royally mess up on finals. I am transferring to UM-Flint in winter....all of my classes have been focused on nursing prereq's and Gen Ed requirements for UMFlint. I was hoping I may have a possible chance to get into the UM Ann Arbor Basic BSN program as a sophmore transfer student if I kept my 4.0 [knowing very well it is going to be difficult to keep]. A huge hurdle that I am afraid will make it impossible to even be considered is the fact that I only have my GED , I'm 27 now, so that was quite some time ago...but I still feel silly for thinking a GED student, no matter how well they do in other colleges, would be considered for the program. I have a wonderful opportunity to focus on school almost entirely, due to a very supportive boyfriend who wants me to do my best , so I do not work, I have no children, and my factory job went to China a few yrs ago allowing me to have 3yrs of my school paid for through a gov. program! I'm getting financial aid for my prereq's, but if all goes as planned, they should pay for the 3yrs of nursing school. I know chances would be slim [if any chance at all], but it doesn't hurt to check it out and see if anyone has any input on the matter. I would love to get a great education at college that has one the top 5 nursing programs in the nation, to be trained with state of the equipment that can produce real life scenerios...their research facilities...it would just be amazing. I will find out more at their 'sophmore information session', but that won't be untill Jan. 7th. Any input would be greatly appreciated :). Thanks!! Tonya M.

Thank you both very much for your replies :). Sorry I didn't reply for so long . I was finally able to speak with the pre-nursing advisor at UM Flint, he said they do not use the chemistry and A & P sections. I have still decided to wait. There are a few classes you can take from the core nursing curriculum I would like to get out of the way to make the class load lighter while in the program....that is if I am accepted of course. Thanks again!!

I am new to this site, but I thought this would be the best place to ask this question. To pass the HESI A2 pre-enterence exam, is it an absolute necessity to have completed Chemistry and Biology? I have completed A&P I and a beginning algebra course, and am in the middle of my A&P II along with the intermediate algebra course (finishing Eng 102 as well). Will my current education be enough if I used the Evolve Reach Admission Assesment Exam Review by HESI, along with the McGraw-Hill's Nusing School Entrance Exams by Thomas Evangelist? I would love to apply for the fall sem. but am worried I need the other classes for a good score on the exam. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. :)
