In response to your question about retaking a class, I haven't retaken one but I would assume as long as you show you improved and did better this time around then that's what really matters! Good luck with A&P part 2!

Hi fellow applicant! Thank you for starting this page. I found the previous year posts very helpful as well so I'm glad you got the ball rolling for this year's applicants :) You sound like a great candidate for the program!! Especially with the CNA experience, that's going to really help. I graduated from VCU in May 2015 with a degree in psychology and have been working as a medical assistant since then. VCU is my top choice for nursing school so I am really hoping to get in. Fingers crossed! I will probably also apply to UVA's accelerated nursing program which is the masters degree clinical nurse leader, but VCU being my alma mater is still my top choice! I graduated with a 3.84 GPA from VCU and have taken Microbiology and A&P part 1 and 2 at my local community college since I didn't take those in undergrad. My SAT and ACT scores weren't that stellar, but will suffice I hope! I have been gaining quality experience in the medical field working as a medical assistant and volunteering at a local free clinic. So far, I've submitted most parts of the application except the essays! Still working on those. Eek! Here's hoping we all get into the program and grow to become future nurses together! :)
