   I agree with some of the other posters on here. You need at least a 3.5 minimum thats how competitive it is. So many people are wanting to get into nursing. Schools will say their minimum GPA to apply to their program is a 2.75 or 3.0, but in reality...

    mariposabella replied to kellygirl101's topic in South Carolina

    They are very vague when it comes to sooner start dates. Bottom line is you might get bumped up a semester, but thats still a long time to wait. See if you can get in some where else sooner.
