Definately a person who is career oriented or at the very least serious about their results and grades. This school pushes you and challenges you. You cannot breeze by or slide by without putting in some work and effort. This is one of my favorite aspects of the school as I want to be challenged and feel prepared for graduate school. My major (exercise science) paralells with nursing meaning I get exposure to so much more than just exercise science making me a more intelligent and marketable graduate applicant.
