U of Maryland

[NursePru]

Hello all. I'm currently finishing up my prereqs. I'm applying to UMaryland in the fall. UMD is definately my first choice because I am looking for a second bachelors program and an affordable school. I noticed a couple of you are going there or are alumni. I know its competitive to get in, but I'm just curious as to how competitive. My GPA is a 4.0 so far for my prereqs. and I did well with my first bachelors (3.38). I'm just worried about waiting lists and such. So I guess my question is...what are there standards? What are they looking for overall? I went to an information session and they gave me the min. GPA requirements. I just wanted to get some info. from anyone who has been through the application process with them.

Good luck to everyone who is getting ready to begin their nursing programs!

Do you remember how long it toook you to complete the pre-reqs. A year maybe?!?

You should call UMB about which courses they let you CLEP. I'm not sure about chem and bio. It took me a year and a half to finish all the pre-reqs. You can do it faster than that. It took me that long because I did it while working full-time.
