Though there is no waiting list, I think admittances are extremely competitive. Determining factor is weighted heavily on GPA. Here in Southern Alabama, every nursing school on average, accepts about 10-15 % of all applicants. I was told at University of Alabama that they normally receive about 500-600 applicants per semester, and only admits 50. I applied for their accelerated BSN program, of which only 12 are taken per semester.

That's very true. No waiting list doesn't necessarily mean every applicant is accepted. I can also mean they don't maintain a waiting list. Thus you would need to reapply for the next class.

My college doesn't have a waiting list but it usually takes a person more than 2 years to get accepted.

My daughter goes to Thomas Jefferson University's Geisinger campus in Danville, PA. There are no prereq's. Then gen eds. are done concurrently w/ the nursing classes. I was unsure about this program, but so far, so good. She is learning a ton of stuff and skills. I can't believe it. It is very intense. I do not believe they have a waiting list. It is a two year ADN program and they are done in two years. http://www.tju.edu Good luck to everyone. I know a lady w/ a very good GPA who has been waiting a year and a half for admission to our local community college. It is frustrating. She is a wonderful tech and would be a great nurse.

This is a list compiled by Johnson & Johnson.

i've checked out a few of those on the list above, and it turns out that some/most(?) only accept in-state applicants (or in-county residents), so it's not really going to help those of us who are spread out all over.
