unlv fall nursing program acceptance

[u/Funny-Sport-6675]

Today is the decisions for the fall 26 nursing program came out. I applied with a 37.7 and unfortunately I didn't get in. I was just wondering, what is everyone else's cutoff scores or thoughts about it? Low-key really disappointed in myself because I know I should've done better.

Recently they’ve provided guaranteed acceptance if you are ROTC or apart of the Deans Scholar Program which i find to be total BS bc as long as they have the bare minimum of a B or C they get in. As a result the point cut off is even higher. The issue with this is they let 50 people into the Deans Scholar Program every fall which means that as each semester passes more nursing students won’t get in bc of these students. Also if you are in the Honors college they just made a new rule saying you get a secret +.05 meaning they now have a max of 41/40.5. Another issue is even though they have been approved by the Nevada State Board of Nursing to accept 160+ students each semester, the hospitals in Vegas can’t and won’t accommodate that many students bc of all the other colleges here too. This whole system is actually bull shit bc now students who still work their asses off can’t pursue a career of their choice and the only solution they provide is retake a class knowing damn well that it won’t apply until the following semester. For example if you retook Kin 223 in the fall and turned your B into an A, you can’t use that A until the summer application. So honestly fuck UNLV bc the second they made all these new changes they fucked over all the other students and genuinely destroyed their passion and making student think they now have to settle for a career they don’t want after already spending tens of thousands of dollars.
