Its so weird hearing you guys talk about applying to nursing school. Is it common in other areas to have to take tests to get in? The school I go to has the top nursing school in the state and as long as you're direct admit to the program you don't have to take any of the tests you guys are talking about.
yeah I know that for both California (where i'm actually from) and Texas (where I go to school) there are relatively strict restrictions in terms of GPA and entrance exams for being accepted into nursing programs. For Baylor specifically, it's a 3.0 GPA and above 80 on the english and math sections the HESI. so not super extensive requirements but the GPA factor is usually what gets people due to the rigor of some of our science courses.
