UMB traditional nursing program

Hi everyone! I plan on applying to UMB trad nursing program as a transfer student and was wondering if anyone got in with similar stats as me?

3.4 GPA, mostly A’s and few B’s in my pre reqs. I work at a medical spa so have some medical experience. 2 letters of recs from NPs. Plan to write an awesome essay.

Feeling super nervous considering how competitive the program is.

Please let me know any thoughts!

Private bathrooms

Is it true that I will need to provide my own toilet paper and hand soap if I have a private bathroom? Also, are shower curtains really not provided? What else should I pack so I’m prepared for the school year?

What do you wish you knew before starting college?

For current students and recent graduates, what is something you wish you had known before your freshman year?

It could be about choosing classes, professors, managing your workload, making friends, dorm life, clubs, budgeting, internships, or balancing academics with having a social life. I’d also appreciate any advice on common freshman mistakes and underrated opportunities students should take advantage of early.
