The local CC is about a mile away so I only applied at one. The next closest nursing school is about 35/40 miles..... no thank you. We get points for grades in core pre-req classes, prior degrees, CNA work experience, and a written essay. Got in the first time because I made sure to get As in the classes that counted.
I applied "officially" to three schools and was accepted at two. Really, there are many variables that come into play when deciding how many schools to send applications to: geography, financial considerations, your individual candidate attractiveness, etc. I have learned over the years to never put all my eggs in one basket.

I am thinking about applying to 3 nursing programs next year in case one or the other doesn't accept me. I was wondering if anybody has applied to multiple programs at a time or more than one program in general before they were accepted into a program? I am also casting my net out wide because the first three programs I am considering have different NCLEX pass rates, GPA requirements, and Teas score requirements that could change the out come of my application. What is your experience applying for and being accepted into your nursing program?
