 Recommendations

• Required for admission consideration are three recommendations from individuals who have at least a master's degree in a healthcare field that can comment on your potential success as a graduate student and as an advanced practice nurse in the area for which you are applying.
• The recommendation form is part of the NursingCAS School application
• Please select three qualified recommenders (based on the criteria above) and complete the NursingCAS Reference section with the requested information selecting the option of electronic reference (paper references sent directly to the School will not be accepted).
• Once you have entered identification information of recommenders into the NursingCAS Reference section, an email will be sent directly to each  recommender (provided you selected the electronic reference option and included the correct email address).  Please make sure to inform your recommenders that the reference form will be sent to them via email and that they should make sure to check their junk or spam email box if they do not see it within 24 hours of your online submission of their identification information (including email address).
• The recommenders complete the electronic recommendation form through the NursingCAS application, once completed they will submit the recommendation form and it will be uploaded to your application.
• The recommendation section may be completed prior to submission of your application to ensure all recommendations are received by the application deadline.

Applicants whose GPA from an accredited baccalaureate program in nursing is 3.25 or higher do not need to take the GRE. Previously received GRE scores will not be considered if the applicant's GPA meets the 3.25 minimum criteria for GRE waiver.

All international applicants must submit a foreign evaluation of transcripts directly to NursingCAS (do not send foreign transcripts to NursingCAS as they will only accept an official foreign evaluation). For additional information and a list of approved evaluation agencies, please refer to the NursingCAS FAQs section titled Foreign Transcripts/Coursework.
