I'm from Seattle, and I am applying to the University of Washington to be part of the 2015 cohort for their ABSN program. I wanted to know if there was anyone else here on the same journey. Yes?
I'm applying to a few other ABSN programs around the country, too:
Duke University
Johns Hopkins University
Oregon Health and Science University
New York University
MGHIP
MCPHS University
University of Rochester
University of Massachusetts - Amherst
Emory University
I know admission to UW and the other accelerated nursing programs are pretty competitive, and I hope to give myself a shot of getting in somewhere by increasing the places to which I apply. The schools I'd really love to attend most are OHSU, Johns Hopkins and MGH.
My undergraduate GPA is 3.91, and my nursing prerequisites GPA is 3.95. I only have A&P II and Microbiology remaining, which I'll do this fall semester, in three weeks. I'm volunteering at a Cancer Clinic, which I do one day a week, and I just started a full-time job at a hospital on Pill Hill a few weeks ago. I'm pretty nervous about embarking on a new chapter.
Any other folks out there? What other schools beside UW are you applying to? Have you completed your letter of motivation?
