How many schools did you apply to?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I applied to 5 schools. Had to take the TEAS for one, the NET for another and the NLN for the rest. :specs:

So far, I've been wait listed for one, and accepted to another. Still waiting to hear from the rest, which includes my first choice!

One, just one. hunter college. With a not so stellar GPA at that.

Serious misstep, that one. Did not know it would be so competitive.

Specializes in A variety.

I applied to three and wish I had applied to a few more. I would be extremely happy in any of the three schools so I am just waiting on pins and needles to get a letter!! :uhoh3:

From what I know, all letters from schools around here go out sometime this month!

Just one hear as well. :chair: I know stupid stupid, but its the only one I had all the requirements for. I have done alot of praying this year! Plan to apply to another one too but their deadline is after I will hear from the one so hopefully I won't have to apply there. I should hear something around the end of this month. Man this is torture! Prayers are welcomed!

Good luck to everyone!

I applied to only one. I got in as a first choice applicant and I start in August for my ASN program.

I applied to 10 schools. I am a second degree student who has given up alot to go back to school. I wanted my BSN but know that it may not be possible in terms of the competition and killer gpa requirements. I got in to 3 schools and will most likely have to move. But hey--it's a testament that if you want it don't give up even if you don't have a perfect gpa.

Don't give up they're are schools out there with no waiting lists..etc. You just have to do lots of research and not give up.

last year , I applied to 2(thinking of commute times). Did not get into either. Learned my lesson and at my age(39) I cant keep re applying, so I have decided to go anywhere(Ct. is not that big of a state anyway). I applied to 7 schools. the furthest from my home is an hour and half commute. But I have taken all pre requsites and electives (community colleges are pretty close with requirements), so I wont have to commute all week.It is very very competetive and I didnt want to put my bets on one or two schools.My back up plans..applied to 2 respiratory programs and am looking into LPN programs, I want to be a an RN very badly, but I need to do something soon, my husband is killing himself working 2 jobs and we have 4 children. with LPN I can work on RN while working and bringing home some money. I even have a "Plan C"- got into a 4 year college as an undergraduate and they take my pre nursing courses as a transfer PLUS a bunch of my electives, so It will take longer to get my RN (BSN), but I needed that option. Good luck to all, never give up and keep posted as you all hear back from schools....

Specializes in LTC.

I applied to 3 schools. I hear back from them in April. I'm pretty sure I won't get in, my GPA isn't the bestest. So I'm thinking I'll take another year of pre-reqs make myself more marketable and apply to even more schoools! I don't care where they are, there's nothing here tying me down and I figure I can live off loans.
