<p>I am very nervous on whether or not I will get in to UDel. I beleive I would most likely get in as undecided but I am applying to the school of nursing and have heard its one of the most competitive majors at UDel next to chemical engineering.</p>
<p>Here's my info:
-Out of state
-White female
-GPA: 3.6
-SAT: 1910/2400 and 1250/1600
-Several community service based clubs
-Spent summer volunteering at hospital
-Rigorous Schedule</p>
<p>-also I have been accepted to UPitt's nursing program which is also considered competitive. </p>
<p>Please let me know what you think! also any info on the nursing program is welcome!</p>
<p>IMHO I believe you are at the very least competitive for admission to Nursing at UD, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to accurately predict acceptance due to the progressive competition for admission to UD, especially for the most competitive majors (Chemical Engineering and Nursing are the two most competive majors for OOS applicants). UD tends to have a freshman nursing class of around 135 including approximately 80-85 students being from OOS. So the class is very small. UD gets over 1500 applications for Nursing, accepts around 300 students to end up with a class of around 135. The OOS acceptance rate for Nursing is slightly below 20% - so it is very competitive.</p>
<p>UD does have an excellent BSN Program, with the curriculum being a research based design specifically formulated to address the changing face/function of the Nursing Discipline with an increased emphasis being placed on things like critical thinking/decision making; differential diagnosis; research; wellness, holistic and preventitive care; and the identification, establishment, and ongoing assessment of Nursing Evidence-Based Best Practices and Standards of Care. Besides providing excellent BSN Clinical Skills education the academic focus of the curriculum prepares one very well for subsequent Graduate School admission. Check out the Nursing Program website at UD which can provide you with a wealth of information about the Program (much too much information to list here). Our D graduated from UD with her BSN in 2010. She is now a certified CCRN (Critical Care Registered Nurse) and is in Grad School pursuing her MSN as a Family Nurse Practitioner. If you have any specific questions about the Nursing Program at UD I certainly would be willing to try and answer them. Best of luck to you.</p>
