<p>I'm applying to Penn State, Uconn, Northeastern, University of Maryland, UMich, UMass Amherst, Pitt, University of Delaware, and SUNY Stony Brook as a nursing major. Maybe even a few more (both less and more competitive).</p>
<p>I'm unsure of where I stand because applying as a nursing major is much different than applying as undecided, or basically any other major. I've been told that I need to apply to somewhere between 12-15 schools because it's very competitive and I might not get into the schools that I'm expecting to get into. </p>
<p>To be honest, the one I really really care about is Penn State. But, I want to be accepted to University Park. </p>

<p>My overall average right now is 89 unweighted. 93 weighted. </p>
<p>I'm taking the ACT in October. My projected score is around a 29 or 30. </p>
<p>I definitely slacked off in 10th grade. I had a very tough personal year, and I'm pretty sure my guidance counselor is addressing that in my recommendation and saying how I improved tremendously.
I'm planning on writing some kick ass essays too. </p>

<p>I'm an IB Diploma Candidate if you know what that means. It's the equivalent of all AP classes I guess, plus a class called Theory of Knowledge, 150 hours of community service, and a 4000 word paper called the Extended Essay. </p>
<p>Honestly, I'm just trying to find out where I stand because it's very confusing. I can't really go by the normal "average stats" of the colleges because it's different applying as a nursing major. I would really really appreciate if you would let me know what you think! Clearly, nothing is set in stone. But just an idea of where I'm at would be amazing.</p>
