3. Problem with Low overall GPA

   Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

   luv_u_so_much, you mentioned about schools that look at the last 60 units - I hope that's how they will evaluate my overall GPA! I already completed a total of 71 credits hours/units here in the US. Im keeping my hopes high!!! that they will not incl...

   Thank you Shorty11

5. Problem with Low overall GPA

   Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with you. Using pre reqs as basis would give me better chances because mine is at 3.8 but my overall is only 3.17 ; (

6. Problem with Low overall GPA

   Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

   DadStudentPerhaps, I have read a lot of posts from students saying they got a 4.0 GPA. But wonder how many classes have they taken so far. It would be unfair if a student will get accepted due to high GPA than one with low GPA but has taken more clas...

7. Problem with Low overall GPA

   Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Heathermaizey, I tried to look for forum and this website is the only one so far I could see people talk about their application. The school has a website- its actually a university. The admission information is general- like applicant should have a ...

8. Problem with Low overall GPA

   Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Heathermaizey, I already asked the school but their answers were too general. I tried posing this question to find out if there are applicants/students who had the same problem/experience that they could share.

9. Problem with Low overall GPA

   Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

   DadStudentPerhaps, I am hoping that the school will do the same thing- just look at my pre req GPA instead of my cumulative or overall GPA. It's just sad how my past grades are haunting me ; ( Actually, the school where I am applying right now has 3 ...

10. Problem with Low overall GPA

    Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for your kind and encouraging words StephenAndrews. I am still keeping my fingers crossed that overall GPA will not be their sole basis.

11. Problem with Low overall GPA

    Aspiringnurse13 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing

    StephenAndrews, I know GPA is a huge factor. My pre req GPA is around 3.7, however my overall GPA will be pulled if they will include my grades from the other country where I am from. If it is just based on US grades it is around 3.17. I am hoping th...

    Thank you RunBabyRun for your advice. I don't intend to keep anything, I just am preparing for the worst

    Hi Suey816, If I may ask what was the reason they said why you didn't get accepted? is it overall GPA or pre req GPA?

    Lacie1221, Hello. It seems that we may have the same issue. Right now I am applying at NIU. Admissions was asking for my transcript from 20 yrs ago from another country. I am wondering what happened to your application and they ever gave you a specia...
