What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing Nursing Q/A

There seems to be a lot of questions on how important GPA is to get into a program.

I decided to start a thread where people can see , and average them out. We can all speculate on the importance, but to see the numbers, sometimes helps.

I hope it helps some people. I hope we all achieve our goals.

I start in January an RN program, my GPA is 4.0

My first degree was a 3.1, I didn't care much about my GPA, just wanted a bachelors.

My Pre-reqs are are 3.8, I transferred over a few B from my prior degree so it knocked it down :(

Sciences : 4.0

Overall : 3.95

2 semesters in: 3.9

Many people got in with much lower.

My GPA was a 3.8 when I applied but got denied for having to many classes left (micro, both a&ps, nutrition were all done). Now I'm finishing up the easier ones like speech, literature, history. I'm applying to a different school now in hopes to start this coming January.

Specializes in School Nursing.

In my school, they only counted their pre-req classes in the GPA, which helped mine a lot. But GPA wasn't the only thing they looked at. There are several things they looked at-

1. Your grades (FIRST ATTEMPT) in AP I/II, Micro, & Statistics

2. GPA

3. TEAS

4. BS degree in another field

5. If pre-reqs were done at that university

I'm pretty sure I have these arranged in order of importance as far as their formula goes. My GPA in the AP's, Micro, and Stats was 4.0, and all on first try. My overall GPA for pre-reqs was 3.67-- or somewhere in there (can't remember exactly).

My school weighs all the things I mentioned above and sorts the applications, throwing out any that don't qualify (failing TEAS, GPA below required, incomplete, etc.). Then they sort the apps highest to lowest in order. They start accept everyone from the top down until they run out of spots.

I did not do well on my TEAS (as in I was lucky to make the cut off)- I ran out of time before finishing. I do not have a B.S. and didn't do my other classes at their college... leading me to believe that the heaviest weight went to the first attempt sciences and the GPA.

I was accepted to a BSN program with a science/program/pre-req GPA of 3.72 and an overall cumulative GPA of 3.65

GPA in high school- 3.5

GPA before nursing school- 3.2

GPA during nursing school- I pray to God it's higher than what I got right now!

GPA 2.8

Science 2.3

:( REALLY low,

But I got into a LVN program at a ROP school. So there is hope for those out there. Probably wont be able to get into a bridge program for awhile until I bring up my grades, but who knows!

I had a 3.425 in my previous degree and that's what I had when I got accepted to the program. I have a 4.0 in pre-reqs at the school where I'll be starting nursing courses next semester.

I got accepted into all the BSN programs I applied to. (2 private and one public) Start in Fall 2013.

Science-3.95

Overall-3.84 (AA)

I only applied to one BSN program & our university solely looks at cumulative GPA. I applied with a 3.47. I applied for spring semester & from what my advisor has told me, a 3.34 is usually the lowest to be accepted each year so I pray that I'm in the running!

Just got accepted for the fall ASN program with a GPA of 3.25.

Specializes in ICU.

GPA when accepted. 3.4
