Apply to them all, chances are only one will accept you, its beyond competitive to get into nursing school, it will increase your odds.

I do agree with the above statement. You don't need to apply to 10 schools. You're just wasting money on application fees. Applying to 4-5 schools is a good number.

Remember, the admitted applicant does not necessarily have good grades, plenty of health-related experience, or lots of research experience. Not everyone who is admitted has a GPA of 3.8 or higher. There are other factors that may influence the admissions committee decision to accept/reject you.
