I am currently a senior in high school and this is the time when all the stress forms for college application. It has finally came, college application season. Throughout high school, I’ve been really excited for college and was really to go to college by the time I was a freshman (kinda crazy, I know). I’ve spent the past months really researching where I want to go to school. I am from California and really want to go out of state to pursue a degree and I have heard Baylor has an excellent nursing program. People, especially my parents, have told to stay in California, because it is the best place to get a nursing degree. I don’t want to stay here, because it is so impacted that I would have to be waitlisted 5 or 6 years until I can actually get a degree, out of state just makes more sense to me. When I came across Baylor, it really got my attention, the campus, the people, and obviously the nursing program, now I am just worried that I might not get in.
