Hey all,

I need help maybe reconfirmation. I am so nervous about applying to accelerated BSN programs. I live in SouthEast Michigan near Royal Oak area.

Here is a little background of me:

I have a Bachelors in Public Health minor in Science (2.65 GPA)

I have a LPN ( 3.2 GPA)

I have worked in the healthcare field for more than 10 years. I currently work as a Clinical Research Coordinator (Oncology and GI).

I recently retook:

A&P 1 (3.7 GPA)

& A&P II (3.8 GPA)

Dev. Psychology (4.0 GPA)

BUS101 (elective to boost gpa 4.0)

Fall 2016 I will be taking:

Micro

Chem

Nutrition and

Ethics

I hope to apply to U of D Mercy Accelerated program for 2017 ASAP. I went to a orientation and the Director said they do not only go by GPA, they take other applicants in consideration. She also said the undergrad BS Degree has to be a min. GPA of 2.5 to apply.

Anyone in the same boat with a low Undergrad Bachelor GPA but high Pre-Req GPA?

Anyone applying for 2017 Cohorts? For people applying or accepted, Stats please?

I hope to hear from you. Thanks.

Hello! I have applied for the August 2018 corhort. I had an interview in March. Just waiting to hear back! They say they usually give out acceptance letters in May!

They just ask basic interview questions like why do you want to be a nurse, etc. They also give you scenarios and expect good responses. Good luck!

I also applied. I still unfortunately have not heard back for an interview. If you both don't mind, could you possible share your stats with me. I emailed asking about the application process and I was told their looking at applications in alphabetical order, so if you also don't mind me asking what your last name first initial is. Mine is S so perhaps they haven't gotten to my app yet, but im getting pretty nervous. thanks :)

My last initial is B. I don't know if they're doing it in alphabetical order because it took them two weeks for them to tell me I have an interview. They usually if you get the interview, you're basically in. Just be patient. I was informed they are not mailing letters until May or June

I have a lot of experience in the hospital and I was a research assistant for my mentor that was getting her Ph.d... so if you don't have a strong gpa, everything else have to stand out Like essay, resume, LOR, etc. they don't only look at GPA
