Hey Everyone! I actually got accepted for FALL 2019 cohort and deferred for a year! I was raised in Hilton Head, and lived in Charleston a couple years ago! It is an amazing school, hospital, and town! I look forward to meeting everyone.

Hey!! I applied as well! I believe my undergrad is around a 3.45 and my science is a 3.8. My BS is Health Education and Behavior. I do not have any more classes to take at this time. I have been a surgical technician for 4 years, and a veterinary surgical technician for 3 years. I am currently an ophthalmic technician and oculoplastic surgical technician. I am also a very non-traditional applier. I am an Army Veteran, and single mommy of 4. I did things backwards. I had children then put myself through school while working full time (speaking of tired but rewarding)!

That's me. I was a surgical and specialty/emergency vet tech for years and a surgical tech in the army for 2 years. I have about 75 volunteer hours in hospice and therapeutic horseback riding. But no degree. :-/ i have a 3.7 but had two re takes from 10 years ago so probably only a 3.4?

I have no degree either. I'll have just 70 credit hours! That makes me nervous

I'm sorry. None of those responses were showing :-/

She works there so in state. I'm in state also

How large is a typical cohort at musc?

Nailed it!

I got into George Washington University but my husband is an active duty marine and we have 3 children so we are trying to remain close. Thank you! We are currently stationed in SC

I applied last week also! I had a couple re-takes so my GPA isn't as competitive as I'd like but I was a surgical tech in the Army and worked in the Veterinary field for years doing specialty surgery and emergency care.

People place a lot of emphasis on GPA and having prior experience, but I have found more times than not, a couple years off and a slightly lower GPA can be ovelooked when a person brings diversity to their program; Someone who has life experience over one who just graduated. Just my opinion. Be positive! I'm sure you bring some amazing things to GWU and I look forward to meeting you next fall! -Andrea

Yaaaaaaaaah! Add me on Facebook. We should start a page!

But for the VBSN program

I am accepted for Fall 2015.

I think a lot buy danskos but they are pricey. Some just love white leather Nikes. It is all preference. I'd go to a uniform shop and maybe try some on! :)

I may be wrong but i think they recommend all white closed toe and back shoes. I am not a student yet but that seems to be usual for nursing school

Hey Natalie. I got accepted for the Fall 2015 Veterans-BSN program already. I am not sure when you hear back for the Fall ABSN program. I believe they are on rolling admissions, but I am not sure?

Awesome. Let me know. Feel free to message me! I'd love to meet someone before classes start.

Did you apply for fall or spring?

That's awesome! Keep me posted!

No. George Washington University now has a Veterans to BSN program starting this Spring. I applied and got accepted into the Fall 2015 Cohort for the VBSN program! :) Let me know if you have any questions!

Awesome! Congrats! Did you find out today? ?

I actually applied to the veterans to bsn program for fall 2015 instead. Anyone heard anything yet? Good luck. I'll stay in touch just in case I end up there next fall. I won't hear got awhile now but look forward to hearing about you guys!

They say 5 weeks but mine was completed and verified in 24 hours. So don't stress. I then heard GWU received it the next day.

All things aside... focusing on the competitiveness of the program will just get draining. Putting your best foot forward and applying are all you can do! I know waiting is challenging, but one thing I have learned in life is that dwelling on negatives serves as rather exhausting! Put in your application, and keep working hard! Don't give up! I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for peace as you embark on the application journey.
