   My OSU undergrad GPA was also 3.3 (I didn't take my first degree very seriously ). Mount Carmel's SDAP faculty really look beyond grades in their application process. They want someone who is a good, well rounded fit. So, personality is a huge fact...

   bethh1970, Thank you so much for the advice! I'm going to make apt. appointments in all those areas to check them out and see what I like the best. Funny thing is, my nursing school required white uniforms, so I'm used to it. Luckily I saved my uni...

    I'm going to admit that I did the trick too; I couldn't help myself! It wouldn't let me go through and I ended up passing. So...take that information as you will, but the trick worked for me.
