UMSL has a certain number of spots for students already enrolled. After that, they rank you based on your overall and science GPAs. The students with the highest scores who have completed pre-reqs are accepted to fill those spots. Then, the remaining students are placed on a waitlist. I applied in Feb 2012, and have been accepted to the clinical program for Fall 2013. I am transferring from STLCC-FV. I'm not sure how long the wait lists are as far time-frame goes. Best advice I can give is go call the college of nursing and make an appointment to meet with a counselor. Brink a copy of your unofficial transcript, and they will go over where you currently stand, and any classes you may need to take to be eligible. The pre-reqs to become eligible for clinicals took me a while (5 semesters), and after completing them all, I have 61 credits...67 after my summer 2013 classes are done...but all well worth the hard work. I couldn't see myself taking any other path. :)
