GPA Requirements
A competitive GPA is a crucial factor in the admission process for the Accelerated Nursing Program. While specific GPA requirements may vary, most applicants are expected to have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. However, meeting the minimum GPA requirement does not guarantee admission, as the program is highly competitive. Admissions committees also consider other factors such as prerequisite grades and relevant work experience.
Test Scores
In addition to GPA requirements, applicants may be required to submit standardized test scores, such as the GRE or TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills). These tests assess an applicant’s aptitude and readiness for the rigors of nursing education. High scores on these tests can strengthen an application and demonstrate academic proficiency.
Letters of Recommendation
Most nursing programs, including Eastern University’s Accelerated Nursing Program, require applicants to submit letters of recommendation. These letters should come from individuals who can speak to the applicant’s academic abilities, work ethic, and character. It is important to choose recommenders who know you well and can provide a comprehensive assessment of your potential as a nursing student.
