U South Carolina. Offers merit for higher grades, making it similar to in state VA costs for VT and UVa.

Some of these answers are just no. Emory, GT and NYU with a 3.5? Come on.

JMU is a crapshoot, you have to have Bs and above in your prereqs to apply with any chance. 120 get in, usually out of 200 applicants.

Look at Longwood direct entry nursing.

Longwood, Radford, George Mason

Emory has a strong nursing program. They also award FA.

Georgetown also has a strong nursing program as does NYU.

There have been special bonuses for Georgetown and NYU in the past where you get to attend tuition free if you commit to 3 yrs nursing locally. I don't know if any of these are still active, but it is worth investigating.

Emanuelle in Boston
SUNY schools - all four universities have Nursing
SUNY Plattsburgh and Purchase as well

Good schools and reasonably priced.

The NCLEX pass rates for all Virginia schools are available on line.

Longwood University has a very good track record. Radford is another option.

VCU

GMU. Don't go to Marymount - it's on the verge of bankruptcy.

Miami and Auburn both offer nursing programs. Not sure about GPA though.

What schools are good for nursing but offer a traditional college experience (ie: not commuter schools). DC is under 3.5 GPA. We are in NoVA.
