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.
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.
