Simmons Online FNP 2017

Published

Hello everyone! I decided to start this thread for anyone else applying to Nursing@Simmons FNP program! I am thinking of applying for the March 2017 cohort! I was just wondering if anyone would be able to provide information on how competitive it was to get admission? Nursing was my second degree and I had a 3.47 GPA however in my first degree, I got a 2.97 ( I wasnt a very good student then) but I got my life together during nursing school. Do you think this would negatively impact me? Thanks for the help!

I got into the March 2017 PT cohort. I have no idea how many students they admit each cohort but they do take 5 cohorts a year so your odds are probably good. I can't remember my exact GPA but I'm somewhere around a 3.5 in total (that's with 2 rounds of undergrad). I only have a year work experience and they didn't mind too. If there is a particular reason why your GPA wasn't great the first time around, they do allow you to submit a statement as to why that happened, which I feel is very generous. Good luck!

my nursing GPA was 3.4, and my cumulative from way back in the day was 2.6. I was told my reference letters were very strong and my goal statements. I start in Jan for bio refresher and then May for nursing. Good Luck

Hey all, Im currently in the process of finishing my application for May cohort as well. i just wanted to know your opinion in this college, have you done other researches about other schools? Ive been looking a lot all over the place for a good online FNP, and it looks like simmons is a good option but I also wanted to hear from others to make sure I am not making a mistake
