WSSU 2020 ABSN

Published

Just wanted to see if anyone was applying to WSSU ABSN program? Wanted to see where folks were applying/possibly planning to move from, and what is your general work background?

I'm from Winston Salem, with both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Social Work. I've done some work as a social worker in the mental health, hospital case management setting and also on the insurance side of social work. Good luck to everyone on submitting applications!!!

Update: she sent it to the wrong email. I got accepted!! Now I’m in need of a place to live ASAP cause I’m not from the area.

I am interested in Applying to WSSU ABSN in 2020 (for 2021 admission). I am discouraged about my GPA. I currently have a 2.97 for my previous BS. I am on track to get a 3.4 or 3.5 with updating my pre-reqs (my previous degree is 11 years old). I'm worried this isn't enough and wondering if I should still apply? Has anyone been accepted with this GPA? I agree with many of you that it would be SOOOO helpful to also be able to apply with a resume as well! :(

@SPikett your undergrad GPA is fine as long as your prerequisites grades are As and Bs you should be fine look at your SAT or ACT scores and make sure those CB meet the requirements as well. Good Luck upon applying!!!

@queentutt28- Thanks!! That is encouraging. SAT meets requirements. I was seeing some of you all posting 3.6+ previous degree GPAs and I was like, "I had no idea what the hell was going on as a 19/20 yr old and its miracle I got a 2.9!"

@SPikett to be honest I think they really look at the prereq grades. But who knows. It very competitive I would say email the the director of the nursing program and/or the coordinator of the ABSN program. If you live locally or close by possibly even try and set up a meeting to have your transcripts and grades reviewed. Just to get feedback to see if there is anything that may help your chances of gain entry.

Thanks! I have met with Garrison twice now. LOL She probably hates me. I have been triple checking everything. I am discouraged making a C in A&P1 but my other pre req are looking higher so I'm just praying. I don't have any other options in my situation and area. So, unfortunately it is currently my only program I am applying to.

Hey the thread seems a little old but hopefully I can still get some answers. I’m think of applying but my reading saT critical reading is 400. Did anyone have a low critical reading score but a high gpa and got accepted? Also does the sat applies to second degree students?

Hey @Precilla Prempeh hope all is well. You should definitely apply. But before you do if I were you I would take the SAT over or the ACT.

The admissions criteria is straight forward and regardless if you have a high GPA if you don’t meet all qualifications of the minimum requirements your packet won’t be reviewed any further

Good luck with whatever decision you decide
