Grad School Acceptance Rates

AdamRN2007 · Jul 28, 2005

In general most schools will require a competitive applicant to posess at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA in your undergraduate studies. You will also have to do equally as well in your core science courses, as well as all nursing courses. The GRE will also be required for most, if not all programs. Some programs will have minimum requirements of no less than a combined score of 1000.

Where you got your BSN generally won't matter, as long as the program is accredited, and you have passed the NCLEX. Experience in the NP field you want to go into is sometimes necessary. Some schools require you to have a certain number of hours in a particular field of nursing before you could even be considered for a seat.

GPA, and GRE test scores are not the only determining factors for entry into an NP program. If you think that your academic history is less than competitive, work on getting stand out letters of recommendation, writing a memerable essay, and leaving a positive lasting impression during your interview.

Everything will depend on the school that you are applying to. All school websites will have their own admission requirements under the program of which you are applying.
