1. Transcripts and grade point average.
2. Quality of clinical experience.
3. Evaluation of letters of recommendation from nursing supervisors and nursing school.
4. Personal interview.

Selection is also based upon academic achievement, evidence of sound physical and emotional health, good moral character, and motivation to undertake serious study.
