Great! </p>
<p>If the OP needs aid and has “need”, then maybe she should apply to those schools…but she should first try the NPCs with her family’s info.</p>
<p>I did notice that York asks for stats, so perhaps there are better pkgs for better stats…I didn’t check the others.</p>
<p>I agree with above posters about looking at in state college options. Nursing is a rigorous program and you will not have much time to socialize with others outside of your major. I am familiar with the current state of nursing programs at The University of New England, Maine and also Westminister College, Salt Lake City.</p>
<p>Agreed. When cost is a huge factor, in-state options will likely save you the most money. Though I must admit, I didn’t take my own advice. When I was looking at schools I tried to stay close to home and save money and ended up disliking my first year and transferring out of state. For me, that was one of the best decisions I ever made. If there is a school you think you will really love but it happens to be out of state, I would go for it. Not sure what your feelings are about PA, but I have quite a few friends that went to the [PA</a> College of Health Sciences](<a href=“http://www.pacollege.edu/academics/programs/nursing/]PA”>Associate Degree in Nursing - PA College of Health Sciences) and really enjoyed it. They have fantastic jobs now too. Best of luck on your college search!</p>
<p>Currently a sophomore. Last quarter a 3.1 unweighted gpa, but my grades are better this quarter. I refuse to go to my state school. I hate this state and everyone I know who went to the school hates it.</p>
<p>What state is this? And do you only have ONE state school???</p>
<p>Why are people saying that URochester doesn’t have an undergraduate nursing program? The link BeanTownGirl posted above shows that’s absolutely untrue:</p>

<p>It’s set up kind of like an accelerated second BSN program. Students complete the prereqs and a BA or BS in another major first, and then they spend the last year getting the BSN.</p>
<p>OP, this may sound silly but I know a couple of people who have done this - if you are really, reall committed to attending a small LAC but also want to be a nurse, you could go to an LAC, make sure you take all of the prerequisites, and then attend a 1-year accelerated second BSN program after college (or attend one of the newish 3-year entry-to-practice programs, in which you earn an RN and an MSN at the same time and are licensed to practice as an NP).</p>
<p>Colleges that fulfill pretty much all of your requirements:</p>
<p>-Villanova University has a traditional nursing major, and is a medium-sized college in a suburban college town area with traditional architecture.
-Hartwick College, a small LAC in Oneonta, NY, has a nursing major. It’s definitely cold there!
-Seton Hall University in South Orange, NY, has a regular four-year BSN program. It also has that old-school architecture.
-Utica College is a small LAC in Utica, NY, with a traditional nursing major.</p>
<p>Colleges/universities that fulfill half or more:</p>
<p>-Chatham University, a small women’s college in Pittsburgh, has nursing programs and also some of the architecture you’re looking for. It is very small, though.
-Gettysburg College, a small LAC in PA, has a nursing articulation agreement with JHU - you spend four years at Gettysburg completing your BA and then 13-17 months at JHU completing their accelerated BSN program. So it’ll take you 5-5.5 years to finish.
-Georgetown has the architecture, but it’s not very cold in DC and DC is a pretty big city, not a small college town. Still, it has a traditional BSN program.
-UPenn has an undergraduate nursing program and that gorgeous traditional architecture, but it IS in a very large city.
-Pitt - ditto above, except probably more of a mix of traditional and modern architecture.
-SUNY Stony Brook has a great nursing program, is in the Northeast in a pretty cold area, and is a great university. It does have more modern architecture, though, and is a larger place.
-Emory University has traditional architecture, a medium-size, it’s in suburban Atlanta…but it’s not cold at all!</p>
<p>Also…I know undergraduate nursing majors and while they are very busy, they also have fun and definitely have friends outside of their majors.</p>
<p>nice save, juillet.</p>
<p>U Conn is my state school. I really don’t like Connecticut though and I rather not stay in state.</p>
<p>Are my stats that I mentioned before good enough to get into ucla, u mich, or upenn? I also will have 3 years varsity cheerleading, 4 years in pole vaulting, 1 year varsity gymnastics (only did gymnastics freshman year), and 3 years in varsity cheerleading competition squad. I’ll also be on the school newspaper for 4 years, and I coach girls in cheerleading (5 years of coaching by senior year.) and I’ll be volunteering at the hospital this summer.</p>
