OU Nursing Admission

Published

Hi I am thinking about applying to OU Nursing Program, and I just wanted to know the average GPA's and scores of those who have been accepted to OU for the Traditional Nursing at all campuses i.e Tulsa and Lawton as well as OKC campus. Also what the program is like? What is the lowest GPA you've heard getting accepted. Anyone to talk to if you are struggling with GPA. Thank you!

Hello! OU's nursing program is decently hard to get into. The usual average admittance is usually 3.6 both science and overall GPA; though it varies every year. The lowest I have heard getting in is 3.3ish and will not be possible to get in under a 3.0.

I am in OU's program and I will agree it is hard to get into. However, it is hard to get into any nursing program these days. The GPA's are rising at every school. Truthfully it depends on what you bring to the table and which program you are trying to get into. The way they look at your GPA is different from the traditional program (BSN) vs. advance program (ABSN). You need a degree to apply for ABSN and they weigh your last 60 hours heavily. With the traditional program they look at your full record. Of course you want to have the highest GPA you can to gain admission. OU has 3 campuses Tulsa, Lawton and OKC. Apply for all of them if you are asked attend one you have 10 days to decide. Transferring is usually not possible. School also starts only every august for traditional and January for ABSN. Hopefully that helps. If you are interested in going there reach out to the admission counselor in OKC she is super helpful. If all else fails and you really want to go to nursing school apply to St. Gregory's or OCU. As long as you have a 3.0 you can attend their school. I will say the cost is about 40k a year. Best of luck with your application
