pre nursing schools and such

Yes, don't limit yourself to one program because there is no guarantee of your acceptance.

I am currently planning on applying to 6 different programs (2 Direct-entry MSN, 2 BSN, 2 ASN); I'd like to leave a range of options open.

Oh okay, see I am somewhat confused because right now I'm doing the traditional college route I'm a freshman in college so I plan to finish my pre reqs next fall then apply for nursing schools in the spring for fall 2017 admission but I'm only applying to BSN programs should I apply to MSN or ASN programs as well?

If you're doing the prereqs, I don't believe that you can apply to MSN programs.

But I would recommend both BSN and ASN programs. ASN tends to be a bit quicker and cheaper. Check if your area hires ASN grads first, though.

If you are a traditional college freshman you should not be applying to MSN programs. I am because I'm a non-traditional student returning to school after having a prior degree and work experience in another field.

You will want to apply to colleges that have nursing programs - BSN if you are able to be accepted to and afford a 4 year college degree. ASN if you want a community college program.

I'm assuming you are doing pre-reqs at a community college and will be applying as a transfer student to 4-year universities? If you are able to do this that is an excellent approach to getting your BSN and being able to sit for the RN license.

I would encourage you to meet with a transfer adviser at your school as (assuming you are at CC) many CC's have transfer arrangement with the local universities which increase your chances of being accepted into the university and its BSN program.
