Accelerated nursing program at university of miami or florida atlantic university

Thanks for everyones input, brina8615-- I have a gpa of 3.6 on a 4.0 scale but my school uses a 4.33 scale so on that scale my actual school cGpa is a 3.68...From what I understand, at FAU they do not convert your transcript grades to fit to their schools grading system, rather, they just take your own institutional GPA from the school you come from and use that..my question is, since I come from a canadian school and my schools gpa system is based on the 4.33 scale, will they look at my gpa and convert it to a 4.0 scale(which is i presume what they use) or take my gpa for what it is during the admission review process....also do you happen to know what the lowest Cgpa or Prereq GPA was DURING your year of entrance into the program at FAU..bvincen3 said the lowest they have accepted is a 3.5 cgpa..my last question..sorry for bombarding you all at once...do you know how often they offer the HESI extrance exam to be written...being that I am in canada and plan on entering an accelerated program in MAY 2010 when should i ideally write it (with consideration particularly of application time for FAU) I cant stress enough how thankful I am for everyones help!.
