Date: Mar 11 2009
Major: Nursing (This Major's Salary over time)
I applied to BC3 in 2008 for their 2009 nursing program and I was taking pre-nursing classes during the Fall of 2008. I had to take some classes such as chemistry and biology because it had been over four years since I took them in high school. In order to take the chemistry class, I had to take at least pre-algebra alongside chemistry. I was told that if I maintained at least a 2.5 GPA and had at least 12 credits, that I would be eligible for acceptance into the 2009 nursing program. I finished my Fall semester with a 4.0 GPA at all of my BC3 classes (chemistry, pre-algebra, and general psychology) and a 3.8 in the anatomy class I was taking at Penn State (I transferred this grade to BC3). My grades were outstanding and I was a dedicated student, yet I was DECLINED from the nursing program because I was told that my pre-algebra class DID NOT count as a credit course toward my GPA - which was a direct contradiction to what the DEAN OF NURSING told me in August 2008. The Dean of Nursing herself told me that I could take these classes and establish a new GPA with them and that everything would be fine.

To sum it up, I was given false information by the staff which caused me to waste my time and money on this joke of a school. I would not recommend BC3 to any student who is serious about their education.
