I am considering the following schools for their post back programs, and was wondering if there are any alums on here with words of advice about the programs, in terms of acceptance rates, cohort, advising, tuition, etc.
NYU
The CUNY schools (mostly Queens, Stony Brook and City College, though I have heard mixed things about Hunter)
University of Vermont
University of Connecticut
Boston University
UPenn
Fordham
New York Medical College
Goucher College
Hofsta
Tufts
Mount Holyoke
Manhattanville
I am 27 years old. I graduated with a BA in Psychology in 2009. I had a 3.3 GPA and had received around 1210 on the SAT's in high school. I have been working since in the field, working with adolescents in group homes initially, and now developmentally disabled adults with medically and behaviorally intensive needs. I have two years of experience as an Assistant Program Coordinator of two homes at once, often acting as Program Coordinator for up to a month at a time, and have been the medical point person in every home I have worked in in the 4ish years I have worked for this company. I have been an EMT since I was 17 years old (I am a member of a volunteer ambulance association, though I haven't clocked any hours in some time due to lack of time between school and work), and before that I was in EMT Explorers, and was secretary and vice president of the post in college.
For the past years I have been taking some science prerequisites:
Fall:
Chemistry 111: A
Anatomy and Physiology 1: a-
Nutrition for Nursing Practice: A (I took this because I am also applying to accelerated second degree in nursing programs as a safety net)
Currently I am taking:
Chemistry 112 (Principals of Organic and Biochemistry) and have an A-
Microbiology: last I had officially heard I had a B, but in calculating my current grades it looks more like A- or A.
I'm also taking an online Algebra class, but I have a D in that. I think online and math do not go well for me, so I am considering withdrawing from that class if I can't pull it up within the next couple of weeks, so as not to affect my chances, and taking it in on campus over the summer.
I think, and I hope, considering this, that I am a strong candidate for many post bac programs on this list, however, any insight anyone with experience has to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jenna
