Hi, everyone! So, I'm hoping to apply next year for WSSU's ABSN program, and was wondering if anyone who is in the program (or graduated from it) could answer a few questions...
1. How expensive was the program?
2. What snags did you run into while getting your application together? (From WSSU admissions issues to College Board, I want to know!)
3. Is it feasible to live 45 minutes from campus with my parents for the thirteen-month program?
4. What was your collegiate GPA, prerequisite GPA, and Critical Reading SAT score?
Any and all information is super helpful! Thank you!

Hello! I am a student in the current 2019 cohort.
1. Tuition for an in-state student is about $16,000 for the entire program.
2. I personally didn't run into any snags...the application process was very simple. They will require you to submit an application to the program, and if you are accepted you will then have to submit an application to the university. It's basically a formality, but it is a two step process.
3. Absolutely! We have students in our group who live an hour away. It can be tiring when we start clinical days at 6 am, or annoying when we are only on campus for a few hours, but very doable. Also- they advertise it as "13 months", but its actually 14. You will start in the first week of January and take your last final in the first week of March in the following year.
4. My GPA from my first bachelors degree was a 3.0, and my prereq GPA was about a 3.4. I don't remember what my SAT scores were.
Hope that helps! Feel free to ask any other questions you have. Good luck!

Hi everyone! I have a quick question. Are you allowed to apply to the program with classes still in process? Or must they be completed at the time of applying?
