Good, you found us here!

U of MD has a great reputation, from what I have heard. They require 59 credits of pre req's and your GPA from your pre req's is one of the key things they look at, obviously. I have heard various things over the past years, but it sounds like the range for acceptance there runs about 3.5-3.7 as a cut off. However, they also require the NET now, which is a nursing pre entrance exam and I am told that they also look at the whole picture of the candidate. They are holding an upcoming information session on May 29th, which you can RSVP to by going to their web site.

I'm not familiar with Towson's program but you could do a forum search and find several older threads on both these schools.
