Ehem! 2.9. Why?

My school accepts 64 students a semester 3 times each year. The first 32 is by gpa, the second 32 is based on lottery and a minimum of 2.8 gpa.

3.8 (school based admissions solely on GPA and ACT score)

Had a 4.0 in all my pre-reqs. If you include all my courses from my previous degree (in music) it was around a 3.8.

Around 75 are accepted each semester. When I applied I heard that there were around 300 applicants. Not sure how accurate that is.

I have a previous B.A. degree from 1992, I think I had about a 3.4 for that. I got all A's in prereq's except a B in chemistry, so that was pretty good and I'm assuming they looked at that more than my stuff from eons ago. My ACT scores are from like 1989 and I can't even remember what they were. I have had a few leadership positions in community organizations, and have done work that demonstrates my desire to help people which I was able to add to my info, don't know if that was any help.
I'm not even sure how my school decides who it will accept. They accept 80 students each Fall.

My BSN program is online through the University of Phoenix. I don't believe there is a cap on the number of admissions they take given that it is online.
