Oops, posted in the wrong thread.
DD received direct admit to Xavier nursing! She didn’t think she would get any direct admit based on modest academics but so far she’s heard from two.
@Finalthree that’s outstanding news! Congratulations on your daughter’s acceptance to Xavier. Initial acceptance is a big stress reliever. We’ve read great things about the school and nursing program. It’s also on our daughter’s list of applied to schools.
What were her stats
EJG1759. What were your daughters stats?

We got our first acceptance to ASU direct admit - we submitted and got the acceptance 10 days later. Very happy to have one secured that my D20 really wants to go to. What is the strategy regarding deposits - should we put a deposit down right away? She hasn’t even applied yet to the California state school as there is no benefit to applying early…we’ve been focusing on meeting early action deadlines.
@SA4465 congratulations on your daughter’s acceptance to ASU. There should not be a need to put down a deposit until you make a final decision to attend. You have until May 1st. Some schools do allow a deposit reimbursement if you decide not to attend (check due dates carefully). I recall our son’s deposit to Tulane was refundable. Many college deposits are not refundable. Make sure you read the details.
DD was accepted at Michigan St. She is finally coming around to understand that she only wants to go direct admit (can I have my application money back please :-0).
So today she applied to Xavier U in Cincinnati and Univ of San Francisco-(they emailed her and said if she got her app in by Nov 11 it would still consider it early action.)
First choice still U Cincinnati.
@mnjjacobs My D has very similar stats and received very generous merit from Xavier with direct admit. She has also decided to focus on DA only now that she has a few choices. It just takes off a level of stress that isn’t necessary.
@Finalthree that would be amazing, thanks for the encouragement. Her aunt and grandmother live in Cincinnati and going to school in that area would be great for many reasons! (we live outside of Philly)
@mnjjacobs MSU does have a program called Nurse Scholar that is basically a direct admit program. Look it up. They have a 3.4 GPA progression requirement, which isn’t too bad when compared to other programs that are listed as Direct Admit, like ASU. I’m not sure why it’s not on the list. I believe the EA deadline has passed, but they continue taking apps until 12/1 I believe.
