I know this is still a little early, but I wanted to go ahead and make the thread so all prospective students could prepare. My credentials aren't nearly as good as a lot of people who have applied, but I felt like it was worth a shot since MUSC is m...

I would go the CC route if you have already taken all of their pre-reqs. I took pre-reqs at a university and applied to the local BSN program and was rejected purely because my GPA (3.1) was too low (everyone else had a 3.7 and above that was accepte...

I plan to do an RN-BSN program online for a year, but even though the classes are all online it is through a brick and mortar medical school in my city. Do you still get to attend the graduation ceremony with the accelerated BSN nursing students?

@carusomk: I have a 3.1 GPA and over 100 hours of volunteer and work experience. I don't have a degree of any sort. They told me I scored perfectly on every part of the application but that my GPA just wasn't high enough compared to the competition. ...

My letter wasn't in the mail and I couldn't take the wait so I called in and found out I didn't get accepted Apparently I scored perfectly on every aspect of the application but my science and cumulative GPA just wasn't high enough compared to every...

I tried calling and they wouldn't tell me cbeard

Oh my goodness! Congratulations Sarah!

Thanks! Good luck to you also :) I think everything happens for a reason so where ever we are meant to be we will end up

I only applied to MUSC and Trident because a lot of the other schools had requirements that I don't meet.

Thanks for calling y'all! I've called so much that I don't want to keep bothering them. I'm also too nervous to hear over the phone in case it's bad news. I'm volunteering with Hospice for the first time today so I won't be able to check the mail unt...

Whenever I called they said they wouldn't say anything over the phone so I'm guessing they don't want the phone lines tied up. I heard some people in old threads say that if you call and ask for Shelly drake after letters have been mailed out she wil...

Good question Randib. I'm not sure

By the way I'm surprised they only accepted 1 person out of state from priority and I know who that is! They were in my micro class this semester. How lucky to be the only one accepted for priority!

38 in state and 26 out of state already accepted makes 64. That means they can only accept like 16 more unless they make the cohort larger I think

I just called and they said the board met at the end of last week and letters should be in the mail next week!

What does not offered mean? Does that mean they haven't made a decision either way for those applications?

What classes/entrance exams do you have left? I'm currently taking Microbiology and finish up with that on tuesday (it was an accelerated class). When will you begin submitting applications? I've already submitted applications to my programs. How man...

I agree with applying and seeing what happens. I have a similar problem and just got accepted into an ADN program. I'm still waiting to hear back from the BSN program. I would really like to do the BSN program because my ultimate goal is to get my ba...

I heard back from Trident and got accepted for Spring 2016! So at least I have there if MUSC says no :)

Trep, I know you were replying to someone else but I just want to say that you put me at ease because I have the same problems with low GPA. I do have patient care experience, though, so I'm hoping that will help in some way. I applied to Trident and...

I had to write a 100 word maximum essay for my application. Advice from my english professor at the time was to jump right to the point. Leave out things like "I've always wanted to be a nurse because....blah blah blah" and things like "I would be a ...

If you can get into a BSN program, go that route. If you can't, then do the ADN program and then bridge to a BSN.

If you can handle what it would take to do, I would say volunteer with Hospice. I'm volunteering right now and it was fairly easy to get into. It definitely gives you a first hand experience of working with patients and healthcare employees. It's a d...

Does anyone know if we find out in March or closer to April? Ahhh January went by so slowly. I'm going crazy not knowing if I got accepted or not and March/April seems so far away! Phew! Deep breaths :)

I know this is still super early but I need someone to talk to. I've been steadily working on pre-reqs. I'm really discouraged about MUSC. I've heard it is super competitive. I know that I've really goofed up in school, and I've only recently been di...
