<p>You def have a chance to go to UCI, but since you’re going to go into nursing, i thought i’d offer a bit of advice</p>

<p>IDK if there is a program like this, but for the University of Pittsburgh, you can go to nursing school through a hospital like Children’s or Mercy. You get done in like 22 months and the best part is it’s a FREE program as long as you stay with the hosptial for two years. One kid in my physics class is doing that and will be done a full two years earlier than a girl going to Carlow for nursing. Plus, he’ll graduate debt free. ALso, these programs tend to be far easier to get into…</p>

<p>just my two cents</p>

<p>Sadly, your gpa is low for UCI and getting one of the nursing program spots is very competitive. Your leadership is good. Study hard this summer to dramatically improve your SATs. Consider taking the ACT with Writing in Sept to give yourself the best chance for admission. Good luck.</p>

<p>thank you for replying!!! :smiley: okay I will try to work harder to improve my SATS (-:</p>

<p>study those SAT’s. to be on the safe side, aim for 2000 or higher for UCI, or at least a 29 on the ACT. (yea, i’m in your shoes too for UCI.)</p>
