What programs am I actually competitive for?

Please forgive my newbie-ness, but I'm really unsure of where I should apply to with a realistic chance of getting in. I would appreciate any and all feedback!

Stats:

I have a bachelor's in business, which I barely squeaked by and finished with a 2.57 overall. I have a 4.0 in anatomy, physio, micro and human development, and I'm about to take statistics and nutrition. Combined GRE score is 1180, still waiting for essay score. Not much clinical experience at all but I'm applying to a Clinical Care Extender program.

Can anyone tell me what schools/programs I would actually be competitive for applying to? HELP, deadlines are approaching quickly!

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'd look into specific schools. Most of them lay out their prerequisite courses (which extend past Micro, Anatomy, Physio, Human Development, Stats, and Nutrition) and how they grade applicants (whether they give extra points for volunteer, paid hospital work, a second language, etc..)

I take it you're looking for an ABSN program since you already have a bachelor's?

Hi bluechick! Yes I'm considering ABSN or direct-entry master's programs, not really quite sure which path to take just yet, but I know that deadlines are coming quickly so I feel like I need to get my butt in gear to find out all I can and getting insight from everyone on this list.

Are you a student or post-school? With all the comments from people having difficulty finding jobs as new grads, I'm not opposed to going to a traditional 21 or 24 month program either. What's your experience with this?

Thanks for your input! :)

I have similar credentials.. would love some insight on schools!
