nursingbound2013

@ mamaji I'm a senior too :) I have 3.5 gpa with VCU but MCV averages all the gpa from the colleges you attend. I also i had classes at John tyler and reynolds community college so my combined gpa is 3.7. MCV put up new requirements too. You MUST HAVE MINIMUM OF "B" in ANATOMY,PHISOLOGY, AND MICROBIOLOGY. So that knocks me out from applying for next summer because I got a C in anatomy. MCV use to take the highest grade when you retook classes now they average them. So even if I got an A the second time around, an A and a C will average to a B and the person who got an A the lst time would get in over me. I also dont have time to retake anatomy since I trying to finish my science degree on time. So i'm planning to apply for reynolds LPN and RN program. I've been volunteering at local hospital for the past two years and I had pre-nursing internship in high school that was 5 weeks. So other accelerated nursing programs are Marymount(private school) and George Mason. I need something local, those are just too far away.lol

I ended up with 85 in micro lecture and 83 in the lab part. Mircolab/lec-B Stats-A Phisology lec-B Phis lab-A Anatomy-C Elective sci-A Nutruition-A Philosophy-A Bio 101 lec-B Bio 101 lab-A Life Span-B I think thats it for the pre-reqs. I am really debating whether to retake anatomy this summer(5 spots open at vcu) They said at orientation that they avg all the courses so, even if I got an A, A and C would still avg to be a B:scrying: and the person that did great the first time in the class would still get in over me:uhoh3:. My gpa did fall a little for VCU this spring semester from 3.6 to 3.5. But mcv avgs my john tyler and reynolds gpa with vcu's so it about 3.7. Im taking ite 115 and sdv 100 now at reynolds, so i can apply for their lpn and rn program. Those are the last two classes i need for them. So now i have some options, hopefully someone lets me in:nurse:

I went to orientation and they said the application should be up in July. I want to get my in early too. I really hope I get in this time around, i sick of the letdowns:sniff:

Were all of your references academic? I volunteer at Chippenham now, been there for a little over 2 years. Minmum ACT was 19, i scored 21,20,and 22. But I also got a C in anatomy but a B in phis lec and A in the lab(I took these at VCU, theres no a&p I-II) But the rest of my sci courses are A's and a few B's and no repeats or W. I've applied for the tradintl 3 times so now i'm aimming for acclerated.

my test scores for the ACT was 21,20,and 22. I really cant afford to keep taking all these tests,its expensive. A girl in my micro class applyed for the tradtnl program with ACT score of 21, but she also had an A in anatomy. I went to orientation, the lady never did answer the question, kinda annoying like its some "top secret society" instead of nursing school:uhoh3:

Hey, everybody!! I'm new to this site. I was wondering if anyone is applying for vcu's accelerated program this year for the summer of 2013? I'm currently a junior at VCU, finishing up a gen.science degree w/minor in psy. I'm taking micro this semester(my last prereq for the program) I think the only thing holding me back is my test scores. I've taken the sats(3x) and act(2x). I know they accept sat, act, or gre. But how closely are they really gonna look at those test scores?? My gpa is 3.7 now and im hoping to pull off a least 3.8 this semester. Anyone else having trouble with test/classes?
