Competition: Frontier Vs UCSF

[HeartsOpenWide, RN]

Does anyone know which is more competetive? I hear that unless you speak spanish as a second language...good luck getting in. How about frontier?

I am sure I will apply to both and I have mixed feelings about which one is better. I like UCSF because it is only about 5 hours from my how so doing their DL would not be so bad, plus when you graduate you have your CNM and your womens health pract. At frontier, also a DL program, I would imagine you would get more holistic learning which attracts me, I am already graduating from a holistic certified nursing program (BSN), but they do not let you get your CNM and women's health when you graudate; they do have both programs but do not allow you to take them at the same time last time I checked.

My last choice is UC of Philidelphia because it is so far away and I do not want to pay out of state tuition (frontier is out of state but their tuition is reasonable last time I checked) Can any one tell me about Philidelphia?

You can get your WHCNP along with your CNM at Frontier, it's a post masters certification after you finish your CNM portion.
