MUSC Accelerated BSN

Does anyone know if this is a good program? I'm thinking about applying for it for Fall '08, but I don't know anyone who has gone to the school. I would love to know anything from quality of faculty to design of the program to how difficult it is to get accepted. Do most people who start the program graduate? Does anyone work during the program? Really anything would be very appreciated!

I'm curious to see how the new 3 out of 4 science requirement will change the applicant pool as well. When I emailed them this past February about the program, they said that most people didn't qualify for the priority admissions because they didn't have the 3 out of 4 science classes finished at the time of application. If that holds true for this cycle, then that may eliminate several applicants in general. I am also curious to know how they are weighing the applications because last cycle 50% was grades and 35% was SAT/ACT scores. I wonder what has taken the place of that 35% for this cycle.

I haven't heard anything about how many applicants there were. How did you find out about how many applied for priority? I'm almost afraid to email them to ask about any of it because I don't want to annoy anyone, but I'm eager to find out if I got in.

I emailed last week, she was very friendly, she said they had 14 priority but had not processed the other applicants yet. They all seem very friendly but I do not want to email again...lol. But was wondering if any one had asked and heard otherwise. I am so anxious to find out!!

CONGRATULATIONS BECKY! Well done. I am playing the waiting game. I have been out of school for a long time and only recently went back to school so we'll see how they see me as an applicant. The school staff is really friendly and willing to help. I know last semester they took a while to send the letters out to many students. Not sure how this semester will be. Fingers crossed.

I was told by an admissions counselor on Tuesday that they will be sending out notifications by November 1st. They aren't even looking at the applications until Oct 4th in an effort to give more time for outstanding info to come in.

I applied to MUSC nursing program for Spring 2011 and I am so anxious to see if I got in. I thought that we would hear back from them at least a month after the deadline. So now they aren't sending out notifications until November 1st?

I figure if they are holding the meeting on October 4th then it should not take until Nov 1st to notify us, at least that is my hope. Maybe they just say Nov 1st so they don't get flooded with phone calls and emails inquiring about application statuses. Good luck to all :)

I agree. She did say we would hear "by Nov.1st" so I'm sure it will be sooner. I'm so anxious!

Does anyone know how many applicants there were for Spring 2011?

I'm really hoping you will all hear very, very soon!! I can appreciate how difficult it can be to wait. The time for priority to hear back was "by Sept. 30th". I heard on the 21st. Hopefully you will hear by mid October!! Keeping you all in mind as you continue to wait. Best wishes!!

I was told that around 260 applied which is a lot less then applied for fall 2010. 14 people have already been accepted for priority?
