About me:
Profoundly deaf student in one of the top schools in California along with being the only deaf kid in my entire district growing up.

Highly interested in Medical field - decided to take nursing route

SDSU nursing and UCI Nursing are a Low Reach/Reach based on ACT score. CSULB Nursing is no safety but more of a Match along with Univ of Arizona. I think Barrett’s Honor’s college for ASU is a slight Reach.

I think the rest of the CA/AZ schools are correct. I suggest you retake the ACT and aim for a 30 or higher to be a more competitive applicant.

Good Luck.

Took the last one in June, possibly got a 30 or a 31 then.

4

Repost when you get your ACT score.

Out of curiosity, do you sign? Speak? Both? Because bi-literacy is a definite plus in any field. Many of my family and community members are Deaf and many of them say that being able to communicate with Deaf and hearing people has helped them a ton in their respective fields. I know ASL, so I can definitely attest to that.
Good luck!

I can speak and sign. I’ve been told my speech is extraordinary for someone with my hearing loss.
