Applying!

Published

I am in a pickle here. I am currently enrolled at the University of Minnesota and I am trying to transfer into the School of Nursing. The reason I am in a pickle is because I am not at all 100% that I can get into this school, but I am about 99% sure that I want to do nursing. Should I start applying to different schools around the area for their nursing schools or what? I am a good student so I could get in at other places, but the School of Nursing at the U is very hard to get into now and I would like very much to get in there.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!

I am in the same situation as you although a different location. Basically I have my top choice as to where I want to go, and while I am fairly certain of my chances there I can not be 100% certain as all programs are extremely competitive. When I was talking to an admission counselor, he basically said to apply to both of their program types (the accelerated Master's designed for students who already have a Bachelor's in another field as well as the traditional BSN program) as well as the other programs in the area.

I think UM is in Minneapolis, yes?? If so, then you are in a situation like me where you have a lot of options as to where to apply.

My advice to you would be to cast a broad net and see where the nibbles fall. :twocents:

Best wishes.

Make sure you want to go into nursing 100% before you start applying!

I wish you luck!
