<p>Thanks … just wonder how competitive it is getting in. My D has about a 3.2 GPA with several AP and Honors classes … suspect she’ll get between 1100-1200 on Mat/Verb SAT</p>

<p>You can look into Villanova Nursing School located just outside Philadelphia. Her stats may be on the low side but it is worth a look.</p>

<p>Consider the quality of the program more than being able to enter it as a freshman. Be sure the grads pass their licensing board exams when finished. Consider the schools’ reputations among those hiring the grads- area hosptals and clinics. If the best BSN prograqms require admission after completing some undergrad work don’t dismiss them if your D’s stats look as if she’ll be competitive.</p>
