UW BSN 2018

[Hk2017]

Hi! I'm applying for the UW BSN for next fall. This is my second time applying to the program and I really want to get in! I thought I would start a discussion so we can all help each other out since the application comes out this month and the essay questions are already out!

A little about myself:

-When I applied for this fall my nursing prerequisite gpa was a 3.0 and I retook one class and I believe now it is a 3.2 which isn't that great but they accept anywhere from a 2.4-4.0 for this fall so I am not too worried about that.

-When I applied for this fall I only had 120 healthcare experience hours and when I apply for next year I'll have well over 1,500.

-I'm also doing a study abroad program in maternal and child health in December before the app is due and this year i managed to get a job at Mary Bridge Children's hospital and recently got hired at Seattle Children's. I also got certified in neonatal resuscitation.

Thanks all! I can't wait to hear back and get some advice!

Has anyone heard anything about moving off the waitlist? I know classes start next week, it's getting close to the start of the quarter. Do we assume nothing is happening if we do not hear anything?

Hey guys,

I went to this years' ABSN proctored essay and got in! I am applying to the BSN too but I may be able to give just a bit more info about the essay (without giving too much away). It was three math questions. Look up nursing dosage questions (ie: dosagehelp.com) online and know a few simple conversions (lbs to kg or mL to L). Then there is an essay where you are presented with three different scenarios for patients and you have to say which one you would choose and why, how you would grow personally/professionally and all that jazz from choosing the patient. Hope that helps!

Hi there, 

I am applying to ABSN and BSN this year. I have a question about the personal statement. did you write two different PS for each program or you used the same one? I already submit my ABSN application and preparing for the BSN application. I'm not sure if it will be a good idea to use the same PS but it is kinda had to write a different one since it is the same school.
