<p>to be honest, your Sat scores might be marginal for an out of state student. you should take the ACT and retake the SAT since the school takes the best score in each subject in the test and makes a composite score…</p>

<p>i thought it would be easier for OOS because they want the money</p>

<p>No, FSU takes 90% instate and 10% out of state, give or take. It is much harder to get in for OOS. And in the state of FL and esp at FSU, nursing is VERY HARD TO GET INTO. You are not accepted into the nursing school as a freshman. It is a limited access program that you apply to once you have been at FSU taking classes. It is very competitive You apply in fall of sophomore year for acceptance into the major as a junior AND you are competing not just with other FSU students but with sophmore students at colleges and universities across the state. Those who are sophomores at FSU apply to 4-6 schools total to get accepted into the nursing major, and many leave to compete their education elsewhere after two years. Many only apply to FSU, don’t get accepted, and spend junior year getting their GPA up so they can apply to OTHER U’s for the following year, now a year behind.

Admission Requirements to Major Program of Studies
The Florida State University College of Nursing admits students for the Fall semester only and requires a special application with a deadline of February 1. Prior to submitting an application, half of the prerequisite courses must be completed, including three (3) of the science courses. All prerequisites must be completed with a “C” or higher prior to enrollment. The College of Nursing admits students based on the quality of the applicant’s previous academic achievement and the number of students who can be accommodated in the program. Students will be admitted only during the fall semester. Students will be selected based on the following criteria: 1) Completion of liberal studies and attainment of junior standing or completion of an AA degree from a Florida public community college or state university (with minimum acceptable cumulative GPA of 3.0); 2) satisfaction of CLAST requirements; 3) completion of required prerequisites with a minimum 3.0 average in prerequisite sciences, and minimum of 2.0 in each prerequisite; 4) achieve benchmark score of 75 or higher on the HESI-A2 examination. Availability of faculty and clinical resources will determine the number of students to be admitted. Students not accepted at the time of initial application may apply for the following fall. If admitted to the upper-level major, Nursing students are required to submit results of a health examination, immunization record, proof of student malpractice insurance, and a two-year certification in CPR, and criminal background check.

<p>This is from the nursing dept:

We receive many applications (this is applications to the major and not to FSU) and admission is extremely competitive. All students are required to have a minimum overall and science prerequisite GPA of 3.0; however, the average GPA of accepted students is generally 3.5 or higher.</p>

<p>The College of Nursing Committee on Admissions, Progression, and Graduation may also look at the college algebra grade, the advanced science and math courses, and honors work in choosing the right candidates for admission into the program.

<p>I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my D knows many friends at FSU who did not get into FSU nursing after two years at FSU.</p>

<p>I think that unless you apply for summer, you don’t have a strong chance of getting into FSU. And if you apply for summer, you may be deferred until May.</p>
