<p>How difficult is it to get into Michigan's Nursing School? Is it a highly competitive school, or somewhat easier to get into than applying regular to LSA?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i was wondering that too...</p>
<p>how easy would it be to get in if u were a guy? with the intent of transferring to lsa after a semester?</p>
<p>because in michigans old point system, they gave 5 extra points for guys applying to nursing.</p>
<p>There is a shortage of nurses in the State of Michigan and the Nursing Schools takes it very seriously. They make it clear that they do not look kindly on people who apply to the Nursing school and don't intend to be nurses. I don't know how they follow through with this, but it may be harder to transfer credits earned, or they may deny people transfer to LSA, I just know they make you swear up and down that you are not doing what you apparently are saying you'd like to do.</p>
<p>Nursing has its own criteria for admission. Demonstrated interest in charity and volunteer work and essays that clearly show a passion for serving those in need is a must. And transfering into LSA from Nursing or Kinesiology is not easy.</p>
<p>School of Nursing is highly competitive, but not impossible to get into. It is only highly competitive because people do not want to TEACH nursing, so even though there is a high demand for them, no one wants to teach.</p>
<p>I just recently got accepted and I applied there because I was interested in the medical field. I remember going there for a college visit and talking to an admissions counselor and she said that if i was at least 90% sure I wanted to be a nurse, I should apply to the School of Nursing. She said it was EXTREMELY hard to transfer into nursing because I brought up the idea of going to LSA for a year and then transffering in sophmore year if I decided that is what i wanted to do. But she discouraged me from it. That is because each class only has 120 students in it. So the only spots open for sophmores and juniors who want to transfer are if people drop. And then you'd be competing for EVEN FEWER spots with people within UMich that want to get in and from people from outside schools!</p>
<p>So, I would encourage you to apply to Nursing IF you think that is what you want. Because it is a lot harder to get into (at least at UM) if you decide sophmore or junior year. Hope that helped!</p>
<p>The intent of transferring out of one of U-M's smaller schools after a semester is probably going to be apparent and will not help your candidacy. </p>
<p>U-M has no interest in having one college become a method of back-door entry into another. So if you apply to one of U-M's smaller schools, but don't look like the kind of candidate who has a true interest and preparation for the fields it offers, you'll be a poor prospect.</p>
