Well I'm a guy so I had an advantageApr 20 2011Nursing
Well I'm a guy so I had an advantage applying to the nursing program here. The people in the school of nursing have nothing to do with the application process; it is entirely controlled by an office somewhere. However the dean of the nursing school told us that they accept students largely on their date of application and diversity. You can do what's called early application and if accepted you have to go here you can't defer and I've asked everybody and pretty much everyone who did it got in so that might be your golden ticket. Good Luck!
SAT: 1340 Male
