WGU prospective applicants

Published

Hey there! So I found WGU online and just recently talked to my enrollment counselor. WGU seems like a pretty great opportunity/school for me. It seems as if it will work for my lifestyle and educational goals. Everything that I have read about it seems to be positive. Any ideas, thoughts, concerns, anything regarding WGU and it's program/clinical sites? Thanks a bunch!

I too applied WGU and I'm waiting to hear back from them. I'm also applying to ADN & BSN traditional programs. I am hoping to get into WGU because of its flexibility. I know someone who is in her last term at WGU and she said she got into WGU easily because she had LVN experience (I don't have an LVN lic) She told me she would highly recommend I take an LVN program prior if possible because you'll find it much easier especially since its a lot of independent work/online. She said that her classmates at WGU with no prior experience struggled through the curriculum. On top of that, my WGU enrollment counselor told me they only except 12 people for the pre nursing portion to ultimately fill only 10 seats (2 candidates are cut/drop/fail the prenursing portion) I couldn't believe only 10 are accepted!!!!! So.... I'm applying to other programs as well including LA Harbor, LASW, LA County and maybe a few others. Good luck!!

I agree about the experience, I have none! I am applying but I haven't quite turned in everything yet and I didn't meet the deadline. I am going to begin a CNA program in a few weeks so I'm hoping it will definitely help me to earn experience. I am going to try then to apply to the community college that I am taking the CNA course at. WGU will keep all my paperwork on file so that way I can be eligible for the next openings.
