Nursing School

<p>I know their nursing school is one of the best in the country. So, how many people do they accept each year? Is it about a 25% selection percentage?</p>

<p>Do you apply direct to the nursing school only or to the nursing school and to UNC-Chapel Hill?</p>

<p>And any other information you can give me about the nursing school would be great. Thanks!</p>

<p>My niece just started in the nursing program at UNC. Evidently, you apply to the nursing program during your sophomore year. It is hard to get into, she was accepted with a gpa around 3.7--think what helped her out was the volunteering she did for the last 2 years in a hospital, she also shadowed some nurse practitioners during the summer and worked in a pharmacy.</p>

<p>A friend's daughter was rejected the first time with a gpa over 3.8, but she had no hospital/medical experience and I think it really hurt her application (just my guess). She reapplied at the next round and with volunteer experience, she was accepted.</p>
