I didn't see any threads for Seattle University, so I thought I would start one. What classes are you taking, current GPA, extracurriculars, etc? Any thoughts on the application process?
I guess I will start by saying that I am currently finishing 2 prerequisites. Currently my overall GPA is 3.3 and pre-req GPA is a 3.9. I'm starting a CNA program, so hopefully that goes well. My overall GPA is low, so I am worried about that.
I know! My friend who is wanting to apply next year met with an Su admissions counselor and was told that they received 500 applicants this year! Ah! That definitely scares me. I have a high pre-req gpa but pretty average/low overall gpa 3.2-3.3. I haven't ever worked as a Cna although I have my certificate, but I have tons of hours as a care-giver and volunteer. Honestly, I do not know what they are looking for so I am pretty nervous. I know they are very big on social justice, but their whole 'holistic' application approach means that they could be looking at who knows what! I live in Seattle as well.:)
Yikes! 500 applicants! That's more than UW got last year. Well, that just lowered my hopes a little. I have a 3.85 gpa but a 3.95 in my science so hopefully that helps. I've also worked as a LPN for over 6 years. Your volunteer hours will look really good I'm sure. A professor that teaches there said to include your views of a Jesuit education. They are also big on social justice which is easy to connect to nursing.
Wow, you have tons of great experience for nursing! You sound like a great candidate, I wish you the best of luck. Let me know if you get any updates/news and I will do the same.
Hey there! I also applied to SU this year, and I think the wait is going to be tough! You both mentioned you could see your application status online? I was wondering where you are seeing that at? Good luck!
Where else did you apply Brightbulb? How do you feel about your applications? I'm more stressed out now since I've turned them all in then I was when I was working on them!
