Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of any accelerated bsn AND/OR direct entry masters programs who only looked at the last thirty credits of coursework and/or the prerequisite classes in determining admission gpa?

(preferrably direct entry masters, as my gre is pretty good) My last thirty credits have been really good but I really, realy screwed up in the first two years of college and I took a lot of credits during those years....)

Unfortunately when it comes to looking at 'x' number of units, the magic number I've found is 60 semester/quarter units. I wouldn't count yourself out of the running from schools that look at cumulative GPA, you can always explain your poor performance in your first years via personal statement.

Good luck! ;)

are you looking anywhere in the country? and how bad is bad for the other grades? My undergrad gpa was not that great 2.7 and I did good in the pre-reqs (3.5) and I got into a direct entry masters here in IL. My overall was not even 3.0 with all combined, my GRE was good and I had good work experience. And also that essay matters.

Good luck!
