Hi and welcome!

All you need is an ACT 28 (or SAT equivalent 1250??) to be assured of admittance into the Honors College. So, good luck!!! :)

*Also, does anyone know how competitive the nursing college is and also if anyone has heard any info or knows about the nursing program? Im also interested in finding out about the nearby hospitals that are available for internships. *

If you get good grades, then you shouldn’t worry. This is how pre-nursing/pre-med/etc works…many kids declare that they’re pre-X as frosh, but then after a couple of semesters, some see that they’re not cut out for the chemistry/Ochem/etc classes and change majors. (these are typically kids who had lowish ACTs and/or weren’t academically-focused.) Those who have strong grades continue on and are usually successful. :)

If you can score an ACT 28 (or more), you very likely have what it takes to get the grades needed to succeed in nursing. The ACT is a very good predictor for pre-health majors.

There is a medical center (hospital) right across the street from the new Nursing building… :)
