If you decide to go to UTK and try to get into the nursing major, volunteering at the local hospital would strengthen your app along with a strong GPA. Also, try to volunteer as a research assistant at the School of Nursing. That would help demonstrate your interest in the nursing field along with networking with nursing faculty whom may be able to serve as a reference. If you are in-state for Tennessee, it is a difficult call. Do they wait list for the nursing program because if they do the waitlisted students would have a higher priority to get in. If you plan to try to transfer in then strive for the highest GPA possible don’t just set it at 3.2. If you are in-state then UTK then it may be more reasonable to get a 4 yr and then consider a 2nd bacholors in nursing rather than the private school route. As long as your do all the nursing requirements then a degree in psych or sociology could work since a BSN in biology or chemisty may be more difficult. Good luck!
