Congrats- what an amazing array of choices so far!!
Where is she leaning?
Honestly, getting into Decker / Binghamton is such a tremendous feat sheâll probably get into the rest!
Any idea when weâll hear from UMA?!

@OceanAir - Thank you, we are very grateful. She also got great merit scholarships from most of her schools. Decker/Binghamton and Simmons DA BSN cost the same as UMass A due to merit scholarships. She likes both of these.
DD is looking at the status portal for UMA every dayâŠnot sure when they will release the results though! Itâs out of habit, at this time since the choices she already has are great! she got into 12/15 nursing programs. seems like we might see some rejections in the remaining 3/15!
Good point but my understanding of Auburn is that applying to upper division nursing is not super competitive.
Daughter was accepted to Honors College at South Carolina and was told that she was automatically in for nursing and would not need to apply later, so from her point of view, it is a DA.

Well ⊠Daughter accepted to nursing program at Purdue today.
OOS, 4.0 unweighted/4.5 weighted, 34 ACT, ranked 21 out of 345. We were elated she made it into the direct admit nursing program! ⊠but sigh, no merit scholarship. Nothing. Not one cent 
Being OOS that just makes this financially out of reach (or at least not a smart financial decision). Thought for sure sheâd at least get the lowest merit award with her stats.
Very disappointed.
Are you sure that merit awards arenât coming separately at a later time? Some schools do it that way.
Yes, merit awards are stated in the acceptance letter if granted. We were sure sheâd get one which is why she even applied. Guess there were just a ton of high stat applicants for her major.
We were just hopeful this was the school
Sorry to hear that @momoftwo74
I see you posted:
Waiting on: Florida Atlantic (sometime in February is our best guess)
Accepted:
Purdue
Univ of South Alabama (DA)
Clemson (DA)
Missouri State
Univ of Arkansas
How do you rank the choices you have so far?

Well I think Clemson would be her ideal choice. Sheâd love to live in a warmer state (being from MO). But we are still waiting on merit award from them. We know sheâs getting something, just not sure of amount to see if it makes it a smart financial choice. We still have to tour though. We were waiting to see if she got in before visiting.
But she also really loved Missouri State when we toured. Besides being in MO (Lol), itâs probably the perfect city and campus for her. And itâs in state so very very affordable. The big con is it isnât direct admit, so you have that added stressor of having to try and get accepted later.
(But itâs closer to home which is a PLUS for me!)
I was thinking Univ of South Alabama would be a great mix ⊠closer than Clemson but warmer climate near water. Beautiful nursing facilities and in state tuition rates with her stats. But we toured and she just wasnât feeling it.

Im getting a little antsy. 
I know that patience is a virtue so I guess im not very virtuous.
My daughter is cool as a cucumber??
Come on already with the Cal State schools! March seems like it will never get here!
So this is where we are at right now.

Thatâs a great list! Are there multiple affordable options? Does your daughter have any favorites?
@Livvyxoxo At this point, these schools are in the runningâŠ
SDSU would be number 1 but the likelihood of admission due to impaction is laughable. Even with a 4.0 at the community college with 90units of dual enrollment, her chances are slim at SDSU. We are crossing out fingers and toes. (Fullerton is also crazy competitive. Im thinking we would make that work if she was admitted)

Daughter is kind of an old soul. She isnât really excited about any particular college at this moment. Maybe thats because she doesnât want to be disappointed. U of San Fran was her number one choice in the beginning but its not in the running due to affordability. Sheâs the kind of kid that would be quietly disappointed and knows logically why its not in the cards. Same with Duquesne although we will go back to them in March and ask for a price match and if they can bring it down enough, I think she would jump on that. She is open to UNM although I wouldnât say excited about it. She was VERY excited about PLU but being on the waitlist, she lost her mojo for that school. Im hoping that if she gets in and a visit up there, would get her excited again. She talks about York a little.
I know nothing about Regis or Westminster as they dont have a strong online presence. Westminster stands out to me as a possibility.
As a parent, Im seriously conflicted. PLU is not in the safest area, nor is York in PA, nor is UNM. Those 3 schools come in as the most affordable.

Itâs awesome that you have so many schools that are affordable, although I can understand different pros and cons to each. I can understand the impatience of waiting until March for other schools- I was deferred from a school EA last year and the wait was painful!
Will you be trying to visit/revisit any of the affordable schools?
