MUSC Accelerated BSN

U.S.A. South Carolina

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!

For those of you who are curious, I asked Ms. Hudson what the stats were for Fall 2011 and this is her e-mail response to me below:

We had 361 applicants for the Fall start term and less than ten were accepted in priority decision. I don't yet know how many of those 361 applications actually got all of their materials in.

Best of luck!

So, hopefully they are not waiting on materials, as it strictly states on the website that all materials had to be recieved by the 15th of January. Well it's good to hear I guess that we won't be finding out until mid March now b/c I was starting to worry with tomorrow being the 15th and I haven't heard anything yet :) Well not sure if the numbers ease your mind, but at least you won't have to guess!! Good Luck to everyone....

Roughly, if you are considering they accepted 8? She wasn't specific, she said less than 10 already chosen. So that knocks the available seats to around 52. So yeah...Not that bad of odds....I guess :uhoh3:

Wow. I'm glad you posted that! I'm always looking for new ways to deliberate over my odds of getting in! ;)

With that in mind... what are everyone's stats like?

I have a 3.27 (but they've told me that they may be considering it a 3.51 because of a transcript issue) and my pre-req gpa is a 3.73 (but I'm currently enrolled in Micro and Stats). I have a good amount of volunteer experience, but not in a healthcare setting and I do not have a bachelor's degree already.

Sheesh! Sounds awful when I write it down. On the upside, I think I have a great essay, I lived and studied abroad for 7 years (so I think I have a fairly unique background) and my resume is relatively interesting.

Ay yi yi! How about you guys?

My gpa is only a 3.28 ( because I have several bad grades from 8 years ago that I can't go back and change ) Since I returned to school last year I have kept a 3.7- So I'm hoping the earlier grades will not hurt me too much?

I do have volunteer experience in a healthcare setting, and I feel really good about my references.

As far as the essay goes... I felt like I couldn't express much in 100 words. So, I'm not very confident about it.

Well, Ms. Hudson told me the admissions committee will meet to make final decisions the first Monday in March, and decisions are mailed about two weeks later.

I wonder if they'll meet this upcoming Monday, Feb. 28, or if they'll wait til March 7. I'm sure it'll be March 7, and we'll be notified around the third week in March, a month away.

The suspense is really killing me.

Thanks for the update!! The suspense is killing me too!!! Hopefully she means February 28th!!

I'm with you Emma, but I'm pretty sure the first Monday in March actually means March. Don't know how much longer I can take the suspense!

So, we will hear on March 21? Or letters are mailed March 21, meaning a few days after that?

The wait is no fun...
