It's Monday-Wednesday. Not sure of the hours

AGNP. See you in August!

Hi Shantel - I don't believe they offer the classes in the summer. The setup is that there is a weekly lecture but you do not have to attend - you can print the power points and watch the lecture from your computer at home. You have to go to campus for the tests. For Pharm there were 5 tests and for Path there are 4. It probably doesn't make sense for you since you are already accepted into a graduate program (unless you delayed starting and decided to take those classes first). It's more for people who want to start graduate coursework but haven't decided on a track or school yet.

Yes, I will be transferring 3 Pharm plus 3 Patho.

I applied March 15 and received an acceptance letter April 11! My GPA is about a 3.4-3.5 and I've been a nurse for 12 years. I took graduate Pharm and Patho (as a coursework-only student ... they call it CWO) at UMD Baltimore to get a jumpstart on the program and to lighten the full-time load. This was recommended to me by a GWU APRN student who was doing clinical hours at the hospital where I work. I'm glad I took her advice because it probably helped me get in (since there's nothing spectacular about my GPA or application!) I think a lot of nurses look to this site for advice and to gauge how competitive programs are so I wanted to share my stats and "strategy." I will add that the application was lengthy - not hard, just long and time consuming so you would want to start it a good month or two before the deadline. Good luck to all
