I'm recently working on my application to get into Loma Linda University LVN-BSN program. However, I'm really concern about my overall GPA expect my LVN program. I really want to get into this school. Is there anyone that had around a 3.0 and got in. If so, did you have a really good essay and recommendation letter?

Maybe this reply is too late?

I haven't met too many in the LVN-BSN program but I do know that there are many different options for those that have lower GPAs in the traditional BSN programs. There are a few in my class that had GPAs that are similar to yours. This school doesn't look at GPA solely. This explains why the pass rate isn't as high as other neighboring schools. This school understands that great nurses aren't always the 4.0 GPA type... they come in many forms and from many walks of life. They also look at the two extrance exams, religios afficiation, and heavily on the personal interview. A good recommendation doesn't hurt either!

Good Luck.
