I’ve recently decided that I want to go into nursing. I am currently a junior in highschool.
Right now my unweighted gpa is 3.56
My SAT score is 1220
What colleges would you recommend and what should I do before I start to apply?
take a couple classes such as AP bio, AP chem, AP stats, psychology, anatomy, etc. it’s also a good idea to volunteer at the hospital, i did it the summer before my senior year. it’s harder to find direct admit nursing programs on the west coast so if you live on the east coast you’re in luck hahaha
I applied to CSUF, SDSU, UCLA, UCI.
To be honest I think your stats are low for the CA programs. EI’s for admitted freshmen at CSUF and SDSU are about 4550 SAT and 1100 ACT. Not sure where you are located but in CA we have the path of Assoc degree of nursing ADN RN and then transfer to a CSU BSN program.
Thank you for your help! I am interning at a clinic this summer so hopefully that will help. Could I still get into nursing programs if I don’t take AP bio or AP chem? I have taken general bio and chemistry and AP psychology.
