[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  Friend was NMSF, 1590, top 5%, tons of rigor including AP Stat and BC Calc.  Applied nursing to UVA and UNC from oos.  Thought scores were good enough so didn't try elsewhere.  Ended up at state university but not even in nursing program.
Now....mistake was only having two reaches.  And nursing makes everything unsafe. [/quote]

This 1000%

Nursing is hard anywhere.  But if you want to have better odds, you need 3-4 Targets and Safety schools that have direct admit nursing as well.  If you are 75%+ at a Safety, and nursing admit rate is at least 20%+ you have a much better chance (don't know anywhere you'd get nursing admit over 50%)

In reality, if you only apply to T30 schools and a safety, odds are good you are attending your safety.  But if you find 3-4 good target schools as well, you will most likely will get into one of them (ideally you should get into 50%)

The same year as this girl, another girl from hs with a great test score (though not 1590 great) and slightly lower rank applied to NYU, U of Miami, Clemson and Case Western nursing.  Got in all of them for nursing.  [/quote]
