...if so where did you take them? I am not interested in taking all my pre-reqs online (maybe just one or two) and I heard that CUNY science courses can be super difficult to get into especially as a non-matriculated student. I would love to know what some other options are, if you don't mind sharing. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your response! Based on your experiences I will defintely look into City Tech. I'm just trying to avoid the hassle I have read a lot of people go through with Hunter for example. The transfer student route seems to be the best way to go.

Thanks a lot! You have been super helpful.

Thank you for your repsonse. It is really encouraging to read that you have been successful. Just some follow up questions: is it possible to apply as a transfer student even if I have graduated with a bachelors degree already? and how would you rate City Tech? Also thanks for the SUNY online tip!

Hi guys, I just recently graduated college with a degree not related to nursing so I need to take some pre-requisites in order to apply to nursing school. I plan on taking these courses at a CUNY. Based on what I have read about this route, it is better to apply to CUNY as a matriculated student rather than a non-degree student because it gives you better chance of getting the classes you want. Has anyone done this? Can you tell me how you went about doing this and how it worked out? Did you transfer out after? etc. Also, did you apply as a freshman applicant or a graduate applicant? As you can tell I need a bit of guidance with this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for this, awesome resource!

Hi all, I am a senior about to finish up my undergraduate education in NYC, with plans of hopefully getting into Columbia's EPT program (that is my top choice, I definitely have other schools in mind). I know I will need to complete pre-reqs beforehand. I recently visited the school for an informational interview and was advised to consider applying this year (end of 2015). She urged me to take two sciences this summer (Anatomy & Physiology I and Microbiology) along with taking the GRE to avoid the increase in applicants for next year. I had planned on talking my time with pre-reqs (I have four to complete Anatomy & Physiology I and II, Microbiology and Nutrition) and applying at the end of 2016. However, I am taking this adviser's suggestion very seriously and considering taking Anatomy & Physiology I and Microbiology this summer at a CUNY school. With this in mind, my question is: Has anyone taken pre-req summer courses at any CUNY? What was your experience like? How did you ensure that you secured a seat in those highly competitive pre-health courses? Many of the discussions surrounding this are about people who took pre-reqs at CUNYs to enroll in a CUNY nursing school, but what about those of you who went to a City College and applied to a nursing school outside the CUNY system? Many of the deadlines are in March and April but I know it is important to be prepared much earlier so I would love to see your advise and learn about your experiences. Thank you for all your answers in advance!
