Hey! Honestly, I do not see what you are complaining about. Your undergrad GPA is 3.4 and your science pre-req GPA is 3.9. You have a practical healthcare experience and you logged in at least a 100 hours of volunteering. I say you are in a good standing, you have all the chances of getting in.
Due to some struggles with depression early in my college career, I completed my pre-requisites with a staggering 2.9 GPA. Luckily, the school I chose looked not only at my grades, but took my personal statement and my pre-admission interview into account, and I got in on the first try, to the only school I applied to. You got this!

So I am mostly worried about my not getting into a BSN program because of my cumulative GPA. I will graduate with a bachelors degree in Human Development (concentration of Pre-Health Promotion) this semester with a cumulative GPA of 3.4. I changed my major a few times and did not start trying in school until I became passionate about nursing and realized I wanted to attend nursing school. Over the past 4 semesters I have received all 4.0's, and my prerequisite GPA is between a 3.7-3.9 depending on the classes schools require.
I have over a year of experience working as a CNA (both at a hospital and in a nursing home) and will continue working in that position until I (hopefully) attend nursing school. I also volunteer weekly at a hospital, and have logged well over 100 hours.
I want to attend a pretty competitive nursing program (UC Denver - either accelerated or traditional is fine with me).
Will my other experiences help buffer my mediocre GPA?
Pls give me some hope haha.
