Your best source of information would most likely come directly from the school of nursing itself. They may or may not keep stats in the same way that the university does, but they will be able to describe their admission criteria and the typical accepted student profile. Also, there are factors that tend to be more intangible. For example, like universities in general, nursing schools attempt to create a class of diverse students. This will mean that male applicants have a clear advantage, minorities (especially those with bilingual abilities) may have an advantage, and even geographical diversity may be a role. It can be strategically benificial to apply to schools a great distance from home because the applicant stands out by not being a local student.
