- Entry to most nursing schools is very competitive. You usually do your pre-requisites freshman and sophomore year and then apply to the nursing program that starts your junior year. Many people don't get in and then are left scrambling for their junior year. A direct entry program guarantees you entry into the nursing program when you are accepted as a freshman.
- The total cost of attendance at Baylor approaches $50,000 per year. So yes..Baylor is expensive. You would do two years at the Waco campus and then the actual nursing school is in downtown Dallas.
- EFC - Expected Family Contribution...it's how much the colleges expect your family to pay based on their income. It can be a little more complicated than that, but that is a good place to start. Go to the NPC on the UT website, enter the requested data and see how much UT would cost your family.
