Repetition of Prerequisites?

[chargersbaby]

I am so stressed! I need a 2.5 min GPA in my pre req's. I took Physiology this Spring and passed with a C, This summer I took Microbiology like an idiot and I was only 3.2% away from getting a B but needless to say I passed also with a C. I am enrolled to take Anatomy next semester so I MUST get a A in order to achieve the 2.5 GPA. My school (San Diego City College) says that they dont allow you to repeat a class for a better grade unless you received a D or F. Did anyone else experience this and how did you overcome? I dont want to give up and I have gone this far but sometimes I feel like I am not smart enough... I wish I could quit my full time job but right now I cant. I have 2 kids at home and a unemployed husband but I was hoping to quit when I started nursing school. To any National University Students out there, do you know of the GPA requirement? I know their website says overall GPA must be 2.75 but it doesnt list if you need a certain GPA for the pre req's. Any help is appreciated.

Have you talked to the dean of life and health sciences? At my school, you can actually retake a course that you received a C in as long as you petition to repeat it and if the dean allows it. At my school, you can do this once every 30 or so units.

First try what lightsnoise suggests if you really want to take it again at the same community college but if you can't petition, try taking a course at another community college.

I agree with mlok. Take it at another community college. I ended up with a "C" in Micro and I am apply for post grad programs which require an "A" or "B." So I am going to another jc this fall.

I can't remember National's specific GPA requirements, but I had to cross it off my list when I was applying to nursing school b/c my GPA was a 2.70 (they look at the last 60 units attempted as well as your pre-req GPA).
