How to boost my application?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Hey guys, so long story short I went into college with good study habits but a bad state of mental health, which has made college more challenging. I've since gotten help, but my grades are still less than stellar. I'm very passionate about mental health, but I entered college as a science major because I couldn't see myself studying anything else. I've recently decided that after I graduate with my BS, i'd like to pursue medicine, get my BSN, and then hopefully go on to a NP-DNP program.

Due to personal reasons, i'd prefer to take as little gap years as possible. I'm currently a junior in colllege, which means i'd be applying this summer to a BSN program so that I could start the fall after I graduate. However, i'm very nervous that my gpa isn't high enough. I still haven't taken some of the prereqs (missing Micro, A&P i'm currently taking, and Stats), but from the classes I have taken it's not that good. I currently have a 3.17 cGPA and a 2.75 sGPA. Assuming I ace all my courses i'd probably graduate with ~3.4 cGPA and ~3.2 sGPA. I was wondering if those scores where competitive enough to get me in anywhere? I have some ec's (over 100 hours of volunteer work at a hospital, worked as a tutor for a bit, part of some clubs on campus) and I hope to do research next semester to boost up my ap. I'm also a minority and bilingual.

I'd really be thankful for any advice,

Thank you!
