I will be graduating from the College of Nursing in May. What the College of Nursing fails to tell you is that if you do not get accepted into the nursing program before the start of the Fall semester you basically have a 0% chance of transferring into the program later. They accept 1-2 transfer students each YEAR and 60-80 apply each year for transfer. In the end people spend time taking classes or pursuing majors they want nothing to do with hoping for the college to accept them and when they don’t they end up having to rethink their college path and it can often times leave them behind a semester or two depending on how many times they choose to switch majors in the process.
I think May 1st? Is the deadline for letting MU know if you will be attending. That will be when the “accepted” applicants either show up or don’t and depending on where your daughter is on that list she may get accepted over the summer.
Unfortunately if her dream is nursing, I wouldn’t wait around for Marquette and if I (or anyone I knew was in the situation your daughter is in) I would suggest attending MSOE, Concordia or Alverno (although they are heavily theory based and not as much clinical). If nursing is your true passion is life there is no reason to wait around for Marquette to realize that you are going to be a great nurse and would be beneficial to the program. Enroll in the programs that want you now!
