St. Olaf is not direct admit, you apply as a sophomore to 40 spots, have two chances, just visited their booth this past Sunday at the CTCL college fair.
Clarification, SUNY Buffalo is not a direct admit nursing program.
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a backup plan if you canât get into a direct entry program? For example, a community college route that may be easier to get into?
Do you know if West Chester university of Pennsylvania is direct admit. I can confirm from their website.
^ West Chester univ of Pa is definitely a direct admit. Two of my d s were accepted to their nursing program ( both go elsewhere ) . Itâs pretty competitive now. There were many students from my d s hs senior class this past year who applied with decent stats and did not get in .
Rockford University (IL) appears to have direct entry. https://www.rockford.edu/academics/departments/nursing/earlydecision/

It appears that Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville (SIU-E) may have direct admit? Call it âFreshman Selectâ
http://www.siue.edu/nursing/undergraduate/index.shtml
UW-Madison has had a freshman direct entry option since 2012. Iâve read itâs very competitive though, as is the University of Minnesotaâs. http://www.son.wisc.edu/academics-bs-admission.htm
Would you be able to share what you consider decent scores (ACT and GPA) of the students who didnât get admitted to West Chester? Just looking for a benchmark. Thanks.
Any thoughts on Physics in High School, for one looking at nursing? My d is thinking of nursing, but really doesnât want to take Physics.
Nancy211005 - take a look at the recommended prerequisites for the nursing programs where she will be applying. I donât remember seeing physics on the lists, but they probably want you to take a full year of science each year of high school. Advanced bio or anatomy would be of more benefit than physics. Some people say that a basic understanding of physics is helpful to understand other sciences, but you donât usually need to take physics in nursing school.
@Charliesch , thank you. I will look at a few programs. One d is in nursing and the other wants to go. But, her gpa is low so I need to be creative.
I havenât seen physics listed as a prerequisite for entry. Typically, itâs a year of chemistry and a year of biology at a minimum. Physiology/anatomy and statistics are a plus.
@RyanG1207 Thank you!
univ of conn requires you to have physics in HS.
Interesting. UConn Nursing requires HS Physics. I havenât heard of this very much.
