I applied to penn state university park and I’m worried I won’t get into the nursing school. I have a 1330 SAT, my weighted gpa is 4.4, and my rank is in the top 10%. I’ve taken 2 years world language, 4 years English, 4 years math, and 4 years of science. I’ve taken biology, chemistry, psychology, physics, cpr, care and prevention of athletic injury, anatomy, and forensic science. My grades are all pretty good, what are my chances of getting in?

Are you instate and what about your ecs?

I’m out of state, and I have pretty good extracurriculars I think, I have sports and volunteer stuff

You will be competitive and have a great profile. I would just make sure you apply to several. Nursing programs can be finicky. And when you are done with your program, it won’t really matter where you went to school once you pass your board exams. Really. Good luck.

My daughter just got accepted to the nursing program UP campus with these stats:
OOS, 1450 SAT superscore, 4.0 unweighted, 4/159 class rank, no nursing related EC’s (decided late on nursing and the pandemic ruined her plans to shadow/volunteer); 3 sports, class treasurer for 4 years, certified lifeguard/CPR, 4AP classes (scored a 5 on AP bio exam, taking AP calc, chem and english this year). The waiting can be torture! Good luck!
