So Nervous! BC: What do you think my chances are? Direct-Entry

[thisAdventure]

Hey everyone!

I'm new to the board but very happy to be here. I am graduating in May with a BA in Languages (German, French, Spanish, Japanese) and intend to start applying to Direct Entry Nursing Programs at: Simmons, MGH-IHP, and Boston College.

I have been dreaming of going to BC for a while and am beyond myself with worry and doubt, so much so that I almost think I should stop while I'm behind! So, I'm just looking for honest opinions concerning my chances...here we go:

GPA: 3.74; Dean's List; ODK Member

Pre-reqs: Stats A; Anthro A; Psych B

I have great recommendations and a good essay but have not yet taken the GRE's but my practice test suggests that I'll be getting (in October) a score somewhere around 1000-1150. Not amazing but I'm trying, I'm lousy with those standardized tests.

I have been volunteering with different hospitals for about 7 years now and am an EMT and a CPR Instructor. I also spent the summer working at a Clinic in Africa.

So here's the clincher...besides the possible GRE score. I need to take Micro Bio, Anat and Phys and Orgo over the summer before the program if accepted. ..Is this unheard of and will they think my application is a joke?

I'm so nervous and want nothing more than to get a chance to go next year so I am humbly asking your opinion.

THanks for any advice!
