KU Nursing Program

Hi!

I'm a freshman at KU and I will be applying to nursing school this fall. I have a lot of volunteer work, my CNA, and an exec member of the pre-nursing club. However, I am nervous that my GPA will be between a 3.69-3.75 when I apply. What do you think my chances are of getting into KUMC Nursing program?

You have absolutely nothing to be nervous about with a GPA ending in 3.69-3.75, you're fine. Make sure you take a look at the prerequisites or speak to a counselor about them , I think you have to have them done prior to applying for the Nursing programs.

I had a 3.69 when I applied to the KUMC nursing program for fall 2016. I was placed on the wait list and was not offered a spot. I was also an intern at KU Med the summer before, had my CNA, was in the University Honors program etc. So they are very competitive, but that does not mean you won't get accepted.

I ended up applying to basically every nursing school in the KC area, for fall 2017 and I was fortunate to be accepted into all of them the second time around. I am doing the community college nursing partnership with KU and JCCC, so my bachelors will come from KU but with less loans, less driving (Plus who can beat a KU bachelors degree for basically half price??). That is something I would encourage you to look into. As well as applying to multiple schools.

Best of luck to you!
