Thank you all for your replies! What I mean by schools in my zone is that i most likely couldn't get into UPenn whether it be the school or the nursing program. What schools do i have a pretty good chance of getting into to?

Hello all! I'm starting my college application process. I'm slated to take the SAT on April 1st. I've registered for my senior year courses and i am now selecting schools that i want to show interest in. I'm interested in the medical field. I've looked into Pharmacy and now starting to looking into nursing. I have 6 schools so far that i'm applying (University of the Sciences, Northeastern U, UConn, Texas Tech, U of New Mexico and Rutgers) to and i want to some some schools that have good nursing programs. My Gpa should be ~3.0-3.25 by the end of my Junior Year. I've taken AP Classes including AP Physics (Mechanics) AP English and AP Gov't. I will be taking AP Chemistry senior year hopefully along with AP English and Allied Health (I get to make rotations in a hospital or a pharmacy 3x a week). I'm just wondering what schools should i be looking that that are withing my zone? What kind of pre-reqs are needed for nursing? How many years does it take to get your degree (BSN AND RN is needed to practice?) What kind of role do men play in nursing?(I don't think i worded that correctly) What kind of salaries will i be looking at? Thank You, Tyrius
