Here is the Freshman admit stats for the last couple of years. Hopefully by this summer, the 2018 data will be available.

GPA/SAT look within range but with around a 7% acceptance rate, it will be a tough admit. Make sure she applied widely and has 1-2 safety schools on the list.
EC’s are not considered but it would be to her benefit to consider volunteering to get a feel for a Nursing career.

Hi- 4.08 weighted. She was able to volunteer last summer in the maternity ward of our local hospital (put in 40 hours). Not sure on safety school, she doesn’t like the city so no to USF, Point Loma too small and restrictive, UCs would be a far reach. Fullerton, not interested.
She might want to consider Arizona State as a possible safety school and they offer a direct admit program. When it comes to applying to Nursing programs in California, it is especially important to cast a wide net.
okay-thank you
