Nursing (BSN) Admits Fall 2026 - Class of 2030

The nursing decision threads from prior years have been a huge help to me, so I wanted to start one for this year’s applicants. I know a few of us have received Pitt acceptances already. Please feel free to add your list, application status, decisions, scholarships, and visit impressions.

Good luck!

Here is where we are so far:

Pitt (applied 8/16, app complete 8/19, admitted 9/22 + guaranteed admission to DNP or PhD)

Iowa (applied 8/16 and accepted 9/9 to the University – nursing supplement due 12/1)

Marquette (applied, pending)

Tennessee (applied, pending)

There are about 5-7 more nursing schools on my D’s “to do” list – BC, Case Western, Michigan, USF-CA, Creighton (?), U Miami (?), and TCU (?) – plus a couple of pre-nursing or non-nursing schools close to home – UIUC and UW-Madison.

The Pitt acceptance yesterday was huge. We visited last summer and she really liked it. She prefers an urban campus with nearby clinicals, which definitely describes Pitt. As a result, she was able to remove several schools that she knew she liked less.
