Hi! I am planning to apply to the UNLV program this fall, so I came across this thread. I was wondering if I might ask what your stats looked like applying, as you said you got into two other schools! I have a 3.5 right now in neuroscience but have no healthcare experience at the moment to supplement my application, and I am trying to get a general idea of what most applicants have in terms of experience. Thanks, and good luck with your admission!

I am a rising senior in neuroscience and decided this past year that I'd like to apply to a direct entry MSN program this fall. I have a 3.5 GPA currently and have a leadership position in an athletic club while working a full time job, but I have no hospital volunteering or hospital work experience. Is this going to be an application killer? I would really be happy to get into any program, and I plan to apply to numerous schools. Does anyone have any insight on schools with higher acceptance rates, or any general advice? My fear is that I will get rejected from all the schools I apply to. Thanks in advance!
