What was your GPA when you got accepted?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Next year in February I will be applying for nursing school for Fall '14. I'm just curious to know what some of the GPA's were when you were accepted. Thanks in advance.

I had a 4.0 in sciences, and 3.7 overall.

My GPA is a 3.85 and my school goes by points. Its also just a small community college that only accepts 50 students so although my GPA is good I'm not sure how competitive it is to get in...

Specializes in ortho, hospice volunteer, psych,.

4.00...

4.0 for my GE classes and 3.7 in my sciences.

Is anyone else here feeling a little discouraged by all these 4.0s?? lol

Yes, I am waiting to see some 3.5-3.6.

3.4, I graduate with an ADN next month and my gpa is finally 4.0!

3.87 , but I've heard of people getting in with 3.5's :)

Specializes in Hospitalist Medicine.

Just got my letter today!

I had a 4.0 GPA in pre-reqs and a 3.8 cumulative GPA when I submitted my application. Of course, after the end of the semester, my GPA will probably be 3.6 (Stats & Chem are HARD!)

I only applied to accelerated second-degree programs, and got into two of them (still waiting on the 3rd school) with an overall GPA of 3.4-3.5.

My GPA from my first undergraduate degree was 3.2-3.3; my GPA for nursing prerequisites (and a few random classes over the last few years) is a 4.0.

So, not EVERY accepted applicant has 4.0 overall GPA. ;)

Specializes in LTC, Rural, OB.

My science GPA was around a 3.5 and my overall was close to a 3.0 (from a previous degree) but my school goes by the points system with GPA, TEAS score and core classes completed being the deciding factor.

My gpa (science, pre-req, previous degree, overall) was about 3.5-3.6 when I got accepted! When I first came on this forum, I was very discouraged by the high gpas, but don't fret. There are schools that look at your overall application and not just your grades. Volunteer experience, personal statements and letters of recs really do make a difference!
