. Do you guys know if it's possible to get in with decent grades but good NET scores? Another question I had was that I have a few chem. classes that I took during Undergrad, and I know one of the science pre-req they want is Chemistry---do you know which one they take into consideration for the GPA. My Gen. Chem I grade was a C and Gen. Chem. II was an A....my luck, they probably count the Chem. I, right?
Congrats on making your first step to become a FNP. I also want to become a FNP.
Don't let your grades discourage from achieving your dreams. As for admissions, no one really knows how students get accepted. My friend got into the Oakland campus with zero volunteer experience, but decent GPA and she entered when the NET was not that important.
I suggest going to talk to the admissions counselor. She is very nice and she even sat down with me to figure out my GPA in all my pre-requisites too. I also have BS and she was able to help determine which Chem classes accounted to their program. I had one year of chemistry and one year of ogranic chemistry. (I think they just take the best) out of those classes, but you'll have to double check on that.
Good luck to you!
Good luck to everyone !
