I'm in a similar situation! I'm only applying to one program and eventho my grades are good & everything's in order I'm still nervous! But we don't have to take an entrance exam , we just have to have a certain act score! I will be retaking my ACT in January to get a higher score because it's been 5 years since I took my act! But I wish u luck and stay positive, u will get in

Hello,
My name is Rachel and I am a Junior at University of Central Missouri. I just recently applied for the nursing program at my school and I am so terrified I won't get in. I am applying late because I retook physiology and got B in it this time. I got a 'C' in anatomy and I'm not taking microbiology until this upcoming semester. I was wondering if I have a better chance at getting into the program because I am not a transfer? I have taken all of my pre - req's at this same university. Also my GPA is a 3.3, the required GPA is a 2.75. I'm scared I'm not going to get in because alot of people say at universities it's hard to get in unless you have a 3.5. One of my friends got in the program with a 3.4. This is just totally stressing me out because I've already taken 3 years to apply and if i don't get in I'll have to wait another year... I have never wanted something so bad and in my academics I work really hard (even though I don't have a 4.0...) I have nightmares that I'm not going to get in almost every night. I talked to my advisor before school got out, and may I add that MANY people have told me she's very straight forward and will tell people if she doesn't think they will get in. However, when I met with her she told me I was in the right direction for applying when I completed all the steps except the application. What do you guys think? Should I apply to more than one school? Only reason I haven't applied to others is because I'm not financially stable at all right now and it's $30 for each additional school so I can't afford that. And alot of the schools in the Kansas City area are very prestigious.
