Early Admissions

[ikenna]

Is anyone familiar with a nursing early admissions policy? I was recently on the web site of a school I want to apply to and its states the following

Applications for admission to all College of Nursing Programs are holistically reviewed With consideration given according to the following admission criteriaThe College of Nursing offers early admission for applicants that meet the Following requirements.

3.5 prerequisite GPA

All prerequisite courses taken at WSU

No repeated courses

Does this mean that if a student meets all of the above requirements, he or she is guaranteed admissions to the nursing program?

That is a somewhat ambiguous message. I would think it means that if you meet that criteria, you were invited to apply for the next term? I've not seen that yet on any school that I've been looking into. Good luck!

Thanks Kensington. I guess I should also add that the minimum prerequisite GPA to apply to the nursing program is a 2.5. What I wrote above was something extra that the school had on its web page. Those requirements enabled you to be granted early admissions. I am unsure of what early admissions means. The school also grants priority consideration to people that complete all prerequisites at that university.

I applied early admission to UIC (University of Illinois). Basically, if you had the requested GPA, which was normally higher than for "regular" applicants and had met a few of their other requirements (most of pre reqs done, high science GPA, etc), you could apply earlier than the regular applicant pool and get a decision much sooner. I got a decision 4 months earlier. The advantage is that you get to apply in a much smaller applicant pool that increases your odds of getting in. At least that's how it was at my school.
