Hi Kball359, Did you end up appyling to Marian? I am about to graduate with my Bachelors. I applied for Fall 2012 semester. I am nervous because I don't graduate until August 4th, and the program starts August 6th. I find out this week. Anyway, what I wanted to tell you was that I have been deciding to go to Marian now for almost a year. I am very happy with the way the advisors communicate. I also went to an open house not long ago that they had, at the clinical site. I really enjoyed what I heard from them. I know it will be tough, but I only graduated with around a 2.94 and I know their minimum is a 2.8. If you really want to be a nurse, you will do good in your studies, knowing you have to to get accepted. I think Marian is a great program, with an amazing pass rate, and time is money for me. That is why I am choosing Marian, bc I can be done in 16 months. As long as your GPA is 2.8 or higher I would say you will be fine!
