I want to go to nursing school, and there is only one nursing school around me that offers a bachelor's degree. This is the school I want to go to, but they aren't listed on the ACT website to send my results to. So is it possible to get into med school with only an associate of applied science degree? (The schooling is 96 weeks)

  1. Nursing schools are not medical schools, which is why you got negative responses.  Odds are you can get into a nursing school with your degree.  Most nursing programs have prerequisite courses, but your degree may encompass those.  The only way to find out is to contact the school directly.  They can advise you on how to get your transcripts to them.


  2. No. Medical schools will not admit you or even consider you unless you have the required courses for that school and a bachelor's degree or 90 hours of school.  

  3. Suppose you were the director of admissions at a medical school.  You get about 5000 applications from people getting a four year degree, many majoring in biology or chemistry.  Then you get one application from someone with an associate degree, who probably has not taken organic chemistry for example.  What would you do?
