Hi there!! I’m currently a nursing student at UD and I am 99.9% sure you would get in! It’s an amazing program and I highly recommend checking it out.

Oh awesome! Thanks for replying! I visited the campus last month and I really enjoyed it, but it was a last minute trip and the nursing building was closed:( I will definitely apply.

Do you have ACT or SAT scores?

Haven’t taken ACT. SAT comes out on Thursday. My PSAT was bad, only a 1250, but I am already enrolled in SAT classes. @wisteria100

Add U Miami (Florida) and Penn State^^

Any updates on what your SAT score was? From what you have listed can I assume your weighted GPA is approx 4.0? If that is the case and your SAT came back less than 1350-ish IMO your match/safety schools are Delaware, Miami, and Penn State . UVA and Nova are more stretch schools. You may want to consider Pitt also if you are considering schools in PA.

Thank you!! No, I take the SAT in June. I am however Senior Class President, which UVA LOVES to see. @slngbld

13

My SAT is a 1360^^ is this okay? @slngbld

Are you also applying to other state schools with nursing in VA? So many great options in addition to the terrific schools listed in your post.

I am applying to JMU as a safety, but I was not a fan of ODU or VCU. @KatMT

Keep in mind I am an instate legacy and the admit rate for the overall school is 50% for instate legacies, but nursing is 16% apparently :frowning:
