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.
Sure! Im currently finishing off my senior year at Michigan State I have a 3.3 overall GPA and will be getting my BA in human biology and minor in Spanish. I worked as a PCT in a brain injury rehab center for a year, did 6 weeks of volunteering in Oaxaca, Mexico last summer, have my CNA(amongst other little health care stuff). Of the classes I've completed for my prereqs i have 3.7 average. I think the issue in my app might be at the amount of perquisites I'm still needing. If i did get in this round i would be taking dev. psych, micro lab, intro soc, and health care ethics this summer. I also did not have physio and anat labs done because those arn't even offered at MSU, but i was trying to get an override because I have taken so many other science labs( they never got back to me on that). Hopefully they'll let me know what i was lacking!
