With the time to apply nearing and end....
I just remembered my first semester in college when I was 17. Due to immaturity, I was left with 2 B's in my honors classes and 2 F's (in unimportant classes).
This unfortunately leaves me with the following stats.
GPA: 3.31 (BSN 4.0) - if it weren't for the first semester with the F's my cum GPA would be 3.45
GRE: 1290 (610 verbal, 680 quant, 4.5 analytical)
Experience: 1.5 years in teaching hospital STICU - 2 yrs at the time the program will start
Certs: CCRN, TNCC, PALS, BLS, ACLS
Charge Nurse/Preceptor
Lots of unit projects
Shadowed CRNA for 3 days.
I considered just not sending the transcript with the F's - but I'm assuming that universities have a way of finding out previous schools. I never did forward this first school's transcripts to any of the other schools I went to so there aren't any transfer credits - but I don't want to risk it for CRNA school. Does anyone know if universities have a way of checking what your previous institutions were?
Any thoughts? Should I take more classes to bring my GPA up? Can I try to get my record expunged?
Please look at my stats & concerns.

It wasn't the instructor's fault, or because your car died or you had a bad hair day on the day of exams, etc. It was because you didn't study enough, or partied too much at first and didn't have your priorities lined out when you started, you know, things you obviously learned how to change because your grades are great in your BSN! bottom line, DON'T HIDE THE GRADES. Someone, somewhere will find out and it's better just to let them know up front.
