Hello! I have lurked many many threads on this site but this will be my first post! I decided to pursue a career in nursing about 6 months ago and I couldn't be more excited Because of this excitement, I would like to start nursing school as soon as possible. However, I am worried that my lack of completed prereqs will hold me back. I recently graduated with a Bachelors in Nutrition in May, but my degree did not require me to take A&P, micro, or psychology (intro and lifespan development). I want to apply to UTMB for the fall of 2017 and they only require 40 out of 60 prereqs to be completed. Right now I believe I have 42 hours completed. So my question is, how much is it going to hurt my application that I don't have these prereqs finished? I assume they prefer applicants who have completed all of their courses, and I plan to have mine finished by the time school starts in the fall. My plan is to try and kick butt on the TEAS and the personal statement to make up for the classes. I graduated with a 3.55 GPA and have been working as a medical scribe for the last 5 months. If anyone has been in my position I would love to know your opinion on whether you think I should go ahead and apply for the fall of 2017 or if you think it would be better to wait. Thanks!
