I applied to the nursing school RD. BC is my top choice but I know there are some weak spots on my application, especially it is not very nursing centered.
GPA: 4.45/5 weighted, school doesn’t rank but guessing top 20% of 450 students at public HS in MA
ACT: 32/33 superscore (35 english, 36 reading, 28 math, 33 science)
Taken mostly highest level classes in everything except math, AP Lang and APUSH junior year which were the only 2 offered, only ~20 kids took both.
Senior year courses: AP psych, french, and lit, honors calculus, accelerated (highest level) anatomy & physiology, band, personal finance instead of the 1/2 year study I could have
My grades haven’t been that great because I got diagnosed with ADHD senior year (wrote about it in additional info).
Rec letters: 1 from APUSH teacher, 1 from french teacher which was one of my better subjects, 1from guidance counselor who knows me decently well
Essays: worked forever on my common app essay so hopefully pretty good, it’s about how i chose to do many activities instead of be really good at one because i’m passionate about them all. supplement was decent but didn’t spend as much time on it, but its about how i won a character scholarship at dance and how much my character will add to bc
ECs: dance for 15 years 10 hrs a week, touring production of the nutcracker & other ballets for 7 years, volunteer assistant dance teacher, competitive horseback riding for 9 years, worked at my barn’s camp and during the year, flute for 9 years, in highest school band all 4 years, private lessons, outside group, president of french club, nhs, worked as a personal assistant in the summer
I wasn’t someone who was set on being a nurse so I don’t have any hospital volunteering or programs or anything like that. I’m hoping the written parts of my application shows that I have the characteristics of a nurse? I know everything is subjective but if anyone has any idea on my chances that would be so helpful.
