I see a lot of out of state applications going to UVA. Are people really considering paying $250K for a BSN? By D will be doing all of this next year, and while she wants a ‘real’ college experience (sports, etc.), that price tag is scary!
@RMA123, yes, my UNH portal was updated. Admitted, but not to nursing. 3.6 GPA, 30 ACT, 4 AP’s, varsity athlete, hospital volunteer. Counselor said 3.75 was the GPA cut-off for nursing this year – so much for the “holistic” review : (
Ugggh. Well it is important a school values us beyond the GPA. I’ll just wait and see what happens. Good luck to you.
UVa meets 100% of the financial need of all US students. If you are admitted, it will be affordable. However, they typically include work study jobs in addition to a full set of federal Stafford loans in the financial aid.
This is unlike most public universities, which provide little need based aid to out of state students.
UVa is also now further increasing financial aid to in-state students.
@Charliesch Thanks! Good info…off to do the NPC…

@Lauremal Congrats! How did you rule out the others to Westchester and U Del?
@vamom4 Kudos to your daughter. Sorry about Villanova but lots of great choices for her still. Which PITT campus did she get into. I don’t know if CWRU is worth an extra 50K when her other choices are really good. Let us know how you decide
@marime32 Good luck on UVA and Clemson. Where is DD leaning towards now?
@bigmacbeth That price tag is scary UVA or not. Hope NPC calculating made it clearer either way!
@eric4532 Impressive acceptances. Congratulations to you. Please keep us updated. Where do you want to go?
@readthetealeaves thanks! I was actually hoping that this thread could help me make a decision. Although I did not receive any word on financial aid from Rutgers I am leaning towards them.
@eric4532 Are you leaning toward Rutgers Newark or Rutgers New Brunswick?
@readthetealeaves financially, Newark would be better because I would commute. I also did a pre-med program there and I was content with the campus. My sister goes to the New Brunswick campus and she loves it. Personally, while i do also love the campus, I feel that it too big.
