Incoming GPA for ADN programs?

Hello all. I'm in the process of applying to ADN programs at several western mass. community colleges. However, I'm a little concerned about my prerequisite GPA. My science GPA is around a 3.45, and my other, non-science prereqs are around a 3.5 (I would have a 3.6 if you didn't include the Cs and Ds I got in some of the courses years ago - however, the programs I'm applying to require a C+ in the prereqs and won't look at a grade lower than that or use it in their GPA calculation). Is a 3.45 GPA something to be concerned about?

Also, I received a B in A&P I. Do you think I should retake the class and apply later than sooner (in December rather than in September)? Thanks!

i was accepted into a adn program last spring... my gpa was i think with just sciences like a 3.6... our school is very competitive though. like a lot of people are posting it just depends on how many people apply and how many people your school accepts. i wish you luck, it is the best thing i have ever done!

I got into my ADN program with a 3.3 but I know other people who were accepted with lower GPAs. I think you have a really great chance of getting into many programs! Good luck!!:D
