@nursingmajor2 congrats on a great HS career! Just looking at this topic because my D22 doesn’t have a clue on what major and I’m looking for any tidbits I can find, lol. I live in TX but am from CA originally (I’m a mom). I would say don’t bother to apply to UCLA as they get over a million applications a cycle and there’s no merit aid as an OOS. You would be paying $60K+ as someone else mentioned. For real. My friend in Arizona, her D19’s dream school was UC Santa Cruz. I told her don’t let her apply because if she gets in, she’s going to want to go. So the girl gets in, and yes first year was $60K+. Pandemic starts in 2nd semester as freshman and screwed everything. Now she’s looking to transfer to ASU.
Have you looked at U of Arkansas? A friend’s daughter is going there in the fall, also wants to get in the nursing program, and was admitted into some honors program there. She chose that over TA&M.
My D19 attends ASU. She is in Barrett, the Honors College there, and I am in a mom’s FB group. I hear of quite a few students getting into the ASU nursing program “auto admit” that would be preferable, right, so you don’t have to worry about transferring in a few years. Check out ASU, I understand the nursing program is good but don’t know anybody in it. ASU offers auto merit based on stats, there’s a calculator you can search for. I feel like ASU’s in-state tuition is really affordable and they offer a decent discount w/ the auto merit to OOS students. There are a LOT of OOS students, and a lot of Texas ones. It would be a lot easier if my daughter got in to UT but she wasn’t in the top 6% and didn’t get in and didn’t want to do the CAP. Best of luck!
