Villanova BSN Express May 2017

Published

Hello!

I am planning on applying to Villanova's BSN Express program that begins in May 2017.

Is there anyone else out there who is also applying to this program or who has applied and/or attended this program in the past? I would love to get some insite about the program from any current/former students.

I would also like to hear from anyone who has worked with Villanova students. Do they seem to be well-prepared for the demands of the nursing profession?

Thanks!! 😊

My grades were okay i have a bs in biology with a 3.08 gpa. I dont think I'm going to get in but i still want to try

How about your grades? How was the interview?

You'll do fine. I think they look at the whole person. They look closely at your science GPA. I knew someone who got accepted with a cumulative GPA 3.08 and 3.4 in prerequisites.

I have a cumulative GPA 3.5 and 3.6 in Prerequisites. My interview went very well, she insisted that I apply for the Helen Fuld Grant which simply meant that I would be accepted.

Has your status on the website been changed?

No it hasn't changed yet but I assume it'll be updated when classes resumes after fall break.

Thank you very much for your perspective, bli5!! Villanova is definitely one of my top choices. One of my main concerns though is if I will be able to afford a place to live on a limited salary. How do you or anyone else in the program manage to make that work, or do you have any suggestions on affordable places to live?

Sorry for the late response on this. Loans will be the way to go. They'll also help connect you with other students in the program that are looking for roommates if you're interested.

Bli5, did anyone in your class receive the Helene Fuld Trust scholarship or any others?

Yes, quite a few. If I remember correctly the deadline to apply for Helene Fuld was sometime in February.

Ok great! Do you know the amount they provide? I've been trying to find other scholarships too.
