[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going through the nursing admit process right now with my DD. We are willing to pay tuition for a private or public school within reason (under $50k/year). We have gone to many college fairs and she has asked the question "if you are not direct admit how many students get in as sophomores into the program" their answer hovers around 10-15%. So while she has the stats to come into a more selective school and keeps her GPA up she may not get into a nursing program and could then be on a five year plan with a different major. She wants a full college experience (dorms, clubs, sports - not SEC level though) and so we are targeting Direct Admit programs only. It gives her a chance to enjoy her first year classes (as long as she maintains the minimum nursing GPA) and not be stressed out a year later with an application process. I will admit it was a little disheartening to hear that the school she has always wanted to go to is not direct admit for her chosen major. sure she could go to a community college and transfer in (provided she gets accepted into the nursing program) but that is not the college experience we want for her. (both my husband and I went that route. We worked really hard and saved our money to give our kids a four year college experience if that is what they want). [/quote] Some schools do not allow Nursing transfers past Year one. University of Delaware is Direct Admit Nursing if you get in. Which is why a lot of DMV kids go there. Pretty close and once in you are in and they give good merit aid if a good GPA[/quote]
