Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

I could be wrong but isn't ACC pretty competitive because of the lack of instructors?

Round Rock (20 minutes north of Austin) is getting a nursing program within a year as well but it's where ACC's nursing program will be moved to, if I'm not mistaken.

I guess competitive is relative, ACC seems easier to get into than other schools to me- since they only take gpa, hesi score, and # of courses taken into consideration when applying and the additional points added after each time you apply seems to me anyone meeting the minimum guidelines will at some point get into the school.

Whether ACC is moving their RN program to RR haven't heard that before! Perhaps they will once Texas State opens their program? Would be a bummer for me since I live in SW Austin LOL...

Just under construction is the Hill Country University Center near Fredericksburg which will house ACC, Texas Tech, Angelo State, and Concordia. Whether any of them will offer nursing programs there I don't know.

The Round Rock Higher Education Center is Texas State University’s campus in Round Rock. Texas State University, Austin Community College (ACC), and Temple College at Taylor (TCAT) partner to offer full Associate, Bachelor’s, and Master’s programs at convenient times and close to where students live and work. The RRHEC sits on 101 acres in northwest Round Rock and is the site where Texas State University-San Marcos will continue to build and grow a university campus to meet the needs of the Central Texas community. The Avery Building currently houses all programs and student services. The second building will house a nursing program and will open in Fall 2010.

If I am going to move out of state it will definitely be for a BSN or MSN and not an ADN. I looked up state schools in TX and for out of state they all appear to be over 15,000 a semester. So 30,000 a year times 2 is 60,000. Way out of my price range.

I'll do a 12 month ABSN at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland for 50,000 or an 18 month MSN at University of San Francisco for 67,000 before I'll move to TX for the same thing.

If I move it has to be for cheaper tuition. I won't have trouble getting into an accelerated program at a private school in CA but I can't afford it.

Any other cheaper suggestions welcome? I know they are out there I just don't know how to find them.

What is the College Board? Is that an easy way to find out the cost of tuition? I swear some schools make it next to impossible to find out the tuition. For some Colorado schools I tried to figure it out on my own and I was way off. It was twice what I had tried to calculate. I don't know why some Universites make it near impossible to find out the cost.
