My daughter is studying nursing in a community college and wanna transfer to UNC-Chapel Hill. Does anyone know what is the minmum does she has to get?? The School website shows that student should have at least 3.0 but some people said it's not enough?! Also, does she must has many curriculum activity for applying the university?
I have no idea for the school of nursing, their requirements may be much tougher due to demand. But some of the other departments at UNC are extremely easy to transfer into. Most I know just met the minimum GPA requirements and that's all they needed (the SAT scores/extra curr. didn't matter at that point)
This process can be really complicated. I recommend calling the admissions office at either the community college or the college and asking to speak to a counselor. They will have all the information you need. Both systems have put a lot of work and effort in the past 5 years to make transfers from community colleges to 4-year schools a lot easier.

+1 on this. Nobody on this board is qualified to provide advice in the area you're asking...all would be speculative (and even the advice of the counselors would be somewhat speculative...but closer to the mark).

You must have the minimum because they use that as a gauge for success and, statistically, they have found those that perform at lower levels may not succeed to the standards they uphold. With that stated, the reason that they often accept students with higher grade point averages is due to the idea they receive more applications than they do school positions and, from that pool, the top group filling the positions will have usually have a higher GPA. However, if in one semester they are short of applicants, you may find them choosing students closer to that minimum GPA (I doubt they would accept any below that, but I do not know for certain). This is hardly the case from what they have told me.
But GPA can also be compensated by a good history of volunteerism. It can be volunteer work of any kind ranging from community involvement to hospital staffing to charity work.
Nonetheless, you want to call up the school of nursing to find out the details. They also hold orientation nights, so be sure to check the website or ask an administrator at the school of nursing for those dates too.
The last day to apply for January 2010 is August 17. For May of 2010, I think it's the last day of this year, or thereabouts. Then, you must wait until the following January 2011 entrance with a deadline, probably, in August 2010.

I do know that it will be easier for her to be accepted if she is living in the state. 80% of the student population is from NC due to state requirements. I think they do have a tough academic bar.

Perhaps SHE should contact someone within the School of Nursing and ask the question herself. It is also possible for HER to call the transfer admissions counselor as well and ask if there is an articulation agreement in place with her community college, assuming she is at a cc in NC. In addition, she should look at the N-CLEX pass rates.
My neice just finished dual enrollment in high school. She wants to go into nursing. She is now entering UNCC as a sophomore. Luckily, her mother was on top of things when she was in high school and knew that she wanted to go to UNCC. The course requirements for the community college and for UNCC for nursing were completely different. If my sister hadn't been in contact with an UNCC counselor for the last two years, it would have been a complete waste of time for my neice.
I went to orientation with her at UNCC. They are very strict in getting into the nursing program. At UNCC, it is on a point system. They only accept 50 students a semester. They are graded on their GPA, volunteer or work time in the field(hands on patient experience) and they MUST have completed 30 hours of their nursing requirements at UNCC. This last part, I don't agree with. They said that one girl with a 3.9 gpa that transferred in didn't get into the program because she didn't get enough points!! I would much rather have a nurse working on me with a 3.9 gpa than a 3.4. Political!!
I know these are different schools, but they are very strict about these programs and they are very hard to get into.
Just information I found to be interesting to share.
