Hi @‌ blue652 your previous thread back in June mentioned a pretty good SAT score & high GPA , 1390 ( cr + m ) ( ? )
I think what you’re thinking … you want some kind of way to narrow down your list of schools out of literally hundreds of programs since you can visit most of them. That make sense.
Cost will limited your choice.
I have one kid in nursing & another one applying right now as we speak, and we started looking at every possible programs In-State only & expanded our search to other privates…
but always start in-state & see what’s available.

OOS public ( cost the most )
Private ( merit will cut down only part of the cost , you + your parents still need to pay for the rest )
In-State Alaska ( cost less )
Hospital based programs ( cost less , they are partnered with a local college so you take college classes there)

this is just a randowm example of a cost of a private with merit aid.
I make up the cost , some schools I have looked at cost LESS than that & some are up to 60,000
cost $49,000 ( tuition & room) - $20,000 merit = 29,000 cost to you
so you need to asked your parents & see what they say.
Hope this helps you.
