<p>I am applying to the school of nursing at UVA. When i visited UVA, the admissions officer said that volunteering at a hospital/shadowing a nurse was key to be competitive for the nursing school (because it shows genuine interest) But... it is a more recent decision & I honestly have not been able to shadow a nurse or volunteer since I made the decision. Will showing interest in my essays be good enough? Or should i not even bother applying? </p>
<p>Thanks so much1!</p>
