Any new UNR Orvis Information?

Published

I'm applying to the UNR Orvis School of Nursing in the fall for admittance in spring '14. I've heard some conflicting info and would like to know the forums point of view. I've heard that they might increase the amount of students accepted and that the GPA cut off is 3.86. If anyone knows anything about this or would like to share any other helpful information, I would really appreciate the input. I feel like applying to nursing school has consumed my life! And the feeling is probably accurate. Thank you!

I've heard it's definitely extremely competitive, but I'm not sure to which extent. Good luck!

Good luck with your application. I felt the same way when I was in your shoes. The latest cut off is not 3.86. UNR actually changed the requirements so acceptance is not all GPA based anymore. What gets you in is your interview, GPA and essay (which is done right after the interview). Don't think about the "3.86", this is not the case anymore. Also, be careful because you cannot repeat classes over and over again because those wont be counted anymore. If you need specific info, you can PM me, I'd be happy to answer some questions you may have :)

Yes, my friend who is in the nursing program told me that they will be accepting 54(?) students for Spring 2014. Definitely more. I can't remember the exact number.

To answer your question about the GPA, I got an interview with a 3.54. I'm also a Nevada high school graduate. They take priority over nevada graduates and students with a bachelor's degree.

Good luck! Getting in is a lot of work. I'm still trying to get in myself.

This is definitely a racist school. They flat out discriminate especially against Hispanic. They made me cry so much.
