Nursing or Pre-Med?

Well, what she can do is this…

If she’s not in a Direct Admit program, then she can take the “premed” level bio, chem and ochem classes (which nursing schools will also accept, but not the other way around), and if she can figure out which way she wants to go by soph year, then she would continue on the desired path.

There’s a lot of overlap, as long as she takes the sciences for majors, rather than the lighter sciences for nursing students.

You mention getting a “free ride”. Is she a likely NMF? Does TCU give free rides for those who aren’t NMF?

Or do you mean “free tuition”?

My thing is I am reading on here that med schools don't really want to take nursing majors

There’s a few reasons for this, but often because the science classes are lighter…that’s why some in your D’s situation take the premed level sciences…to have that choice.

She isn’t really a “nursing major” for the first two years, unless the school has direct admit.

Does TCU have direct admit
