I am a student at Frontier. Yes, your GPA will be competitive, Frontier requires a 3.0 or higher. They use a point system to rank potential applicants, and require at least 1 year of nursing experience. The admissions process is fairly straightforward-you submit your application and fee, and give stamped, self-addressed letters of recommendation to 3 people to fill out, sign, and return. The GRE is waived if your GPA is greater than 3.0, and you must send have official transcripts sent to the admissions office. There are two essays required with your application- to determine the strength of your writing. Once you have everything turned in, they will email or call you to set up a phone interview.

After the phone interview, the amount of time you wait varies depending on which class you are applying for and how close to the deadline your phone interview takes place. The person conducting the interview can usually give you an idea when you might hear something, or you can call the main office. When you are notified it is by an email. I think Frontier is a great school. Do a search on here for Frontier school and you will see countless threads on this topic. Include the CNM forum in your search, as many Frontier students are members of that board and post there. I can tell you that it is a tough program and you will receive a great education. You will also feel part of a family. Good Luck in your search. :)

Thanks alot for the reply. What other factors are considered on the points system for applicants?

I believe the neatness of your application, years of experience, strength of essays, GPA and phone interview are part of the point system. There may be more points that are considered, but I think that is most of them.
