Are You Admitting the Right Students – or Just the Right Scores?

GPA. Standardized admission test scores. Prerequisite checkboxes.

For years, these have been the primary data points nursing programs use to make one of their most important decisions – who gets admitted. These academic metrics can be useful, but they don’t tell the whole story.

The truth? Many of the applicants most likely to succeed in nursing school – emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally – are overlooked because the admissions process lacks the right tools to see their full potential. Meanwhile, academically strong applicants who are ill-prepared for the psychological demands of nursing school are admitted – and often struggle.

The results are all too familiar:

• Rising attrition rates
• Burnout among faculty and students
• Lost tuition and time

Level Assessments gives programs a better way. Our holistic admissions assessment goes beyond GPA and test scores, identifying both cognitive and beyond-cognitive attributes that predict student success. Programs that use Level Assessments make more confident admissions decisions – admitting applicants who are truly ready to thrive.

What if your strongest student next year is an applicant you would have otherwise missed?
