I'd apply to both ABSN and Direct Entry narrow down the right schools and apply to whichever ones you feel will fit best. Either way you'll end up at your goal! Just don't apply to too many, applications are exhausting.
If you're not willing to travel outside that area for direct entry then an accelerated option would be best. Then I'd pursue your masters at one of the large universities in that area as well. Just depends on what exactly your goal is, because BSN, C...

As long as you meet the minimum gpa requirement then you shouldn't be worried. It's about marketing all of your skills, experience, and achievements to the school and conveying strength in character and commitment to the program. If you do that it wo...

I applied to many schools and got two rejections before being accepted to the rest of my schools! Talk to the University. Hunt them down! There's nothing wrong with that GPA. In fact it's excellent. Find a new way to highlight your enthusiasm, determ...
I'd recommend applying to both direct entry and accelerated programs! I did! Mostly direct entry though. Narrow down your best options of schools and start preparing your application materials right now. Don't await until august or whenever. And I'm ...
