Where else did you apply in MA? I still have two pre-reqs that need to be completed, so I'll do those this fall and then apply again. Curry was the only school I applied to, but I guess I should broaden my scope.

I was rejected Trying to stay positive tho.

I got my letter and unfortunately did not get in Good luck to the rest of you....maybe I'll see you next year!

I wish the mail would come already!

I'm from the town just west of Boston -- called Newton. I'm originally from Colorado but came here by way of NYC (and spent 2 yrs in San Fran). I like Boston so far. It reminds me of an East Coast version of SF in many ways.

I'm from a journalism background. It sounds like you guys have competitive backgrounds. I am nervous about my undergrad gpa, but oh well. Two more weeks of waiting!

Did you guys have all your pre-reqs done? I had one left, but my human development course didn't transfer, so now I have two!

I applied, too! So nervous. Oh well....a month of waiting to go!

Well, the program I was in only used a Pass/Fail system. So it's a wash. I called Curry today and the adviser said the selections committee looks at the entire package.

Hello everybody. I'm new here, and I'd greatly appreciate any advice you have for me on this subject. I am applying to both MSN and ABSN programs in Massachusetts. The problem is that my gpa is 2.8 from undergrad. I'm wondering how rigid schools are about the gpa, especially the MSN programs because that is my first choice. Basically my first two years in undergrad were horrible because of a couple issues in my personal life. The last two years I had above a 3.25 every semester. There's a definite "shift" in my grades, but the last two years only pulled the cumulative gpa up to a 2.8. Fast forward: I was accepted into and completed a master's of journalism at Columbia University, have worked as journalist for some prestigious outlets and have taken the prereqs for nursing schools - got As and mostly Bs, science gpa is a 3.2. Will I have a chance getting into a program even though my undergrad gpa is blemished?
