My D22 was admitted to the DA BSN programs at both IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) and Clarion University. Both of these schools are PA public universities and would be under $40,000 (closer to $30,000) for an OOS student. D22 has an 89 UW, 91 W GPA and 1030 SAT (submitted). Both of those schools are test-optional. She also was admitted to Alvernia University, to which she applied test optional. Alvernia is private, but offered her a $23,000/year scholarship, bringing COA to less than $30,000. You could contact admissions at these schools to find out if they are still accepting applications to their nursing programs. Pennsylvania has over 50 direct entry nursing programs, many of which aren’t very competitive, so you or he may want to contact multiple other schools.
Michigan State is offering a direct admissions program for nursing that can be applied to through February 1. He would probably get some merit, which would likely bring it down to a little less than $40,000.
thank you all!

Just called FAU I was told by end of March, so crazy…
Good grief. I imagine my daughter will make a decision before the end of March. We are in Missouri, and she has been second guessing being so far from home, so FAU wasn’t tops on her list any longer. And I also know she is anxious to make a final decision so she can start planning on housing, etc.
Here in California, state schools don’t come out until March. (UCs and Cal States)
So we have settled into not making a decision until March which is a drag. So we feel you! 
DD waiting on:
UVa
UNC (not DA)
Emory (not DA)
Accepted:
Clemson
University of South Carolina
Auburn
Auburn and South Carolina are not direct admit.
