It’s difficult to say because nursing is a tougher admit than other majors. Are you applying test optional for UNH and Fairfield? I think Merrimack might be a match, and maybe Fairfield. UNH is probably a reach. Are you instate?

I am out of state for UNH and Fairfield, yet in-state for Merrimack. I applied with my test scores for all of my schools. @taverngirl

I’m not confident you’ve got a safety on there. What about UMass Dartmouth or UMaine?

I applied and got accepted to Umaine, Regis, and Loyola New Orleans so far. @taverngirl

@sydneymignosa Oh, that’s great! I thought the schools on that list were the only ones to which you had applied. I think you have a decent shot at Merrimack (I know a couple of people there and they both love it) and Fairfield. Not sure on UNH – it’s pretty competitive for nursing. I’m not familiar with the other schools, but I wish you the best! What’s your top choice?

My top choice is fairfield! Early Action decisions come out this thursday. Thank you for your help, it means a lot!! @taverngirl
