<p>I believe poster “collegehelp” made a list of best schools by state.</p>
<p>If you want to do nursing/premed and stay in Illinois, check out Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington-Normal.
[Welcome</a> to Illinois Wesleyan University](<a href=“http://www2.iwu.edu/home.shtml]Welcome”>http://www2.iwu.edu/home.shtml)</p>
<p>IWU’s ACT midrange is 26-30, so it’s probably a low match.</p>
<p>Other schools I would look into that are in Chicago?</p>
<p>DePaul U: [Welcome</a> to DePaul University](<a href=“http://depaul.edu/]Welcome”>http://depaul.edu/)
It doesn’t look like they have a GPPA-esque program, but it would make a good safety. (ACT midrange 22-27). Also, GREAT campus, and in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Chicago. Sweet deal.</p>
<p>Loyola University Chicago: [Loyola</a> University Chicago- Schools & Centers](<a href=“http://www.luc.edu/academics/schools.shtml]Loyola”>Colleges and Schools: Academics: Loyola University Chicago)
LUC has a nursing school, and an ACT midrange of 23-28.</p>
<p>Illinois has lots and lots of state schools, too, and I know almost nothing about them.</p>
