Bad news for my TESC degree

[cooperalex2004]

Unfortunately Excelsior's nursing programs are only for RNs. I'm not one.



A private health sciences university in California. (I dare not say more, this is the interwebz.) :leaving:

I'm looking at TESC's in-house 2nd degree BSN program also. But a cross-country move....It's not like this school won't accept me, it's just that 1) I don't qualify for the accelerated program and 2) how can you just sweep aside a degree like that? :confused:

There was no question about my degree from TESC (BA in COMM) when applying for my masters, in fact they approved me for admission before December graduation just by looking at my unofficial transcript (and still ordered the official transcript at the correct time). I think what scares people off is seeing the transcript which reads "GPA N/A" if you don't have any credits from TESC. Mine had a GPA so I don't know if that would have changed their mind or not. I was surprised when they didn't want transcripts from CLEP, DSST, ACE, or my CC, they saw the degree was done and from a regionally accredited college and that was it (once I filled out some essays for the program). I'd try to find another school to apply with and see how it goes, sounds like a really odd situation. It's always up to the school to weed out candidates, but when they are doing it over your degree that is really odd.
