UNC-CH BSN May 2017

[Kheventing]

Hey! Anyone else on these forums that are awaiting a decision letter from Chapel Hill for their BSN program starting in May? I was waitlisted for last years program so I am cautiously optimistic on my chances. I was surprised that there hadn't been a forum started for this years program. It's getting down to the wire now and I am beginning to count the days!

I went to connect Carolina/InfoPorte, clicked on self service, and then update info. It was listed in the first box under general information.

Thanks! Just checked, and I see my PID too.

Do you think they only update the PID number for students that are accepted??!

[Carolina1027]

I'm also pretty surprised that there are no guys replying to this thread haha!

[brianar07]

If you dont mind me asking, what are yall's gpa for undergrad and prerequisites?

[Kheventing]

Person ID (PID) - Finance and Administration

Looks like it was generated when we made our guest accounts... so maybe it's not necessarily an indication of acceptance??

[Carolina1027]

Are all of you second degree students or are there any undergrads on this thread?

My transfer GPA from my AA was a 3.75. Did you guys have work experience as CNA's? I have a lab tech position so I'm hoping that'll still count quite a bit toward medical work experience.

I'm an undergrad. I got my Associates in science, my gpa was 3.58, so kind of worried about that hurting my chances. This is my second time applying. I got my CNA and work at a hospital. But I don't think having your CNA is a requirement but hopefully it helps.

[brianar07]

Your GPA is high! Why would it hurt your chances? How was your application the first time you applied. I have 6 months of CNA experience and volunteered several places over the years. One of which was Duke-Raleigh. I'm still nervous ��

[CNA2204]

I guess bc it could be higher. I know there's people that get in with high GPAs. The first time I applied I didn't have any CNA experience, and my gpa was lower (I retook some classes this past semester). I rewrote my essay bc they told me it could be improved. I also don't have too much volunteer experience, another worry. But it sounds like you've got a good chance since community service is big for them. I hope we find out by the end of this week at least.

I think having your CNA is a positive on your application, although it's not necessarily required. Someone in the nursing school told me that they really want to see you work for at least 6 months as a CNA. However, they accept any type of volunteer work, as long as you're consistently doing something. I just hope we all get in and hear something either today or tomorrow!
