<p>WidowMomto2, your daughter has great stats. Have you considered Penn? I know cost is an issue for you and sticker price at Penn is ridiculous. But I understand the Ivy’s can be very generous. If I were you I would look into the possibility of getting some aid there to see if your daughter should apply. It is direct admit. Also, with those stats she should get into Pitt which you probably know has one of the best nursing programs in the country and is also direct admit. Pitt nursing is very expensive for OOS but Pitt also gives many full tuition scholarships. Don’t know if your daughter’s stats would qualify but you may want to check it out. Finally, one that flies under the radar is Saint John Fisher College in Rochester, NY. They have a relatively new nursing school that was established by $$ donated by Wegman’s and the facilities are soooo nice. They are already building an addition to the nursing school building because the program is growing. It is 2+2 but I imagine your daughter would have zero chance of not getting into the program based on her academic success so far. Fisher is very generous with merit aid. Your daughter would get their top academic scholarship plus an extra scholarship they automatically give to OOS kids. In my personal opinion, Fisher would trump York. Good luck.</p>
