What Is the Holistic Admissions Process?

The Holistic Admissions Review includes these three components:

Metrics (GPA and TEAS score) - 40%
Experiences (formal education, service and lived experiences) - 30%
Attributes (intellectual curiosity, training, certifications, teamwork and collaboration, beliefs and values) - 30%

The process prioritizes experience and attributes as well as metrics. The more information you provide about yourself, the better the reviewers can determine your level of preparedness for the rigor of the nursing program.
