I recently applied to the UAB ACNP Fall 2017. I have 7 years bedside experience ranging from Med-Surg, to Neuro ICU, and the last several years I've been in CVICU. I work at a world renowned facility, am involved in many councils, and have received many awards. My BSN GPA was 3.4, my GRE scores were ok at 307, and I spent a lot of time on my essay and reference choices. I am concerned about acceptance, however, because my undergrad grades from 15 years ago were pretty bad- my GPA was only 2.74. I know they only look at the last 60 hours (thank goodness!) but has anyone else with a similar background to my own have any feedback on acceptance? Thank you all in advance, I'm very nervous!
