3. Questions about OCC Nursing Program

   rmtocc replied to rystle's topic in Michigan

   rmtocc replied to rystle's topic in Michigan

7. Is it possible to get into UM Ann Arbor?

   rmtocc replied to tmstar's topic in Michigan

   I say it doesnt hurt to apply and just see. The worst they can say is no...Just have a backup plan in place if you dont get in. But with a 4.0 I think your chances are better than you think. good luck!
