I have a 3.96 overall GPA, 85% score on TEAS and I'm from the LA area. My overall goal is to get my BSN.
I applied to 5 schools(ADN route) last Summer for Spring 2021, didn't get in. I reapplied for Fall 2021 to 7 schools and got in to two so far, no other responses yet. One is a hour drive minimum from home(I'd have to relocate), the other is 5 minutes away (they have way less opportunity for BSN collaborative programs). I'm really hoping that a school closer to my home with more opportunity for the BSN collaboratives will accept me, but for now I'm really having trouble deciding. I really appreciate the opportunities that I have, especially after not getting in last semester and knowing how competitive nursing is in Los Angeles. I just have a lot of concerns such as having to move, and not being able to get into a collaborative program. What is my next option as a back-up plan if the collaborative doesn't work out?
Also, the school that is far hasn't given ANY info about their program yet, and the one that's close expects all tests and requirements done very soon. I know it's wrong to take two spots, but I don't want to let go until I have enough info to make a educated decision about what I'm letting go of, or until a school I prefer over these two accepts me. Hopefully that makes sense. I've just kind of had all of this on my mind and it feels good to even just type it. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.
