Depends on the program. Ask them where you fall in a typical applicant pool.

You need to look at specific programs. Some of them don't even consider letters of recommendation, volunteer hours or health care experience. Also a lot of schools don't use the GRE for nursing programs so you will want to look into that as well.

Honestly, the only way you can know is to look at program guidelines. Other than that,asking a crystal ball would be as accurate as asking this forum.

It really depends on the program. Some programs look at GPA while others look at healthcare experience. It is best to look at the website for the statistics of the accepted students and if you can't find any then you should email the program.
