Nursing Students School Programs

Hi there! Has anyone here tried transferring into Ohio state university's nursing program from another college? I am a pre-nursing student currently at another school and am wondering what my chances are of getting accepted into OSU BSN program from another school. I have a good GPA and my essays were pretty good but i wasn't sure if they wouldn't accept me just because I am applying from another school. Any thoughts?

Hi there -

for OSU, literally only your prerequisites and essays matter. I don't think they even take into consideration your current school. They decide who gets in based on an algorithm: your prerequisite GPA + your essays get graded on a scale of 1-10. They put these numbers into some magical formula and it spits out a list of the students in order, the top 166 are granted admission from a pool of typically over 500.

One thing to keep in mind is when transferring to OSU a lot of classes won't count for transfer credit (unless you're coming from C state) so you'll end up with a bunch of extra credits to retake.

Good luck!!
