NKing11

I have to agree with others on this North Dakota hires new grads like crazy. I'm sure many other small rural areas in various states as well. Graduated May 2012, licensed in CT had no luck in any of new england. Started applying to North Dakota and within 3 weeks had 5 phone interviews and 3 job offers. Depending on where you're from it will definitely be a culture shock and the pay in the midwest is definitely not up to par with the coasts but gaining the experience to open new doors is priceless.

Hi, I applied last semester to the program with 21 points, I start in the fall. I had no prior degree, did 7 classes, 3.8 GPA, 91% NLN and 30+ hours community service. The lowest points accepted at that admission time (starting sep'10) was 20. To determine if you get in it's really crucial who is applying around the same time as you and how many points they have. They take the 55 highest so if you're in with a group of all 20's and up chances are you won't get admitted this time around, but if the average is around 17 or so you're more likely. The semester before this one the cut off was an 18. Either way, it would really benefit you to take 3 more classes for those three more points. As it stands right now based off of your qualifications you have a 16. Unless your GPA gets rounded up from a 3.4 (depending on if it's 3.45 or higher) then you'll earn another point giving you 17. Hope that helped a little.
