Hi, I'm new to this forum and I aplogize if I am revisiting something that has been covered.....but I am wondering if someone can give me suggestions of nursing schools with short waiting lists.
I am a pre-nursing student right now. I have taken most of the common pre-reqs as well as many classes required for a BSN. I have a 4.0 on required courses so GPA is not an issue. I have recently applied to a local program, however, and did not get in. (due to a low score on 2 portions of the PSB pre-entrance exam, which I can't take the exam again for 12 months). I have the convenience of being able to locate pretty much anywhere in the U.S. due to the flexibility of my husbands job, so location is not really an issue either. Does anyone know of a good nursing program, Associates or Bachelors, that does not have impossible admission requirements and is preferrably econimically priced?
I'm planning to apply to as many places as possible for next year so that I can start SOMEWHERE by August. Thanks so much for any information that anyone can offer!
Anyone know about Michigan Schools? I was planning on applying to MSU and no one told me there was a big wait.
MSU does not use a waiting list. The evaluate everyone who has met the minimum requirements then people who have the highest gpa, interview well, and score well in the other areas get in. If you do not get in, you have to apply all over again for the next application period. That is how most of the universities in Michigan do their application process.
Rivier College in Nashua, NH (20 min from Boston). They have a rolling admission policy so the first ones who get their completed application in that are qualified get in! www.rivier.edu is thier website.
If you like the heat, you might want to look at El Centro in Dallas, Texas. They rank applicants based on GPA, and it sounds like you wouldn't have a problem there. It is a 2 year program, so the tuition is cheap. There is an entrance test (NET), but you just have to pass with a 50% -- it is not used to rank you. The test covers reading and basic math. They accept 100 people twice a year.
