Experience-heavy: A 2,000-hour patient care minimum is at or above the national 75th percentile. Plan on a year or more of full-time work before you apply.
Stricter prerequisite grades: A minimum of B in prerequisites is tougher than the typical C. Recheck your transcript before you invest in the application.
