Nursing Students Pre-Nursing
Published Apr 18, 2013
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.

Is anyone else here feeling a little discouraged by all these 4.0s?? lol
ALL THE TIME! Sometimes schools don't go by the gpa but a point system. I know a fellow classmate that had a 3.9 and was sure she would get into the program but she didn't due to the point system

I had a 2.85 GPA (24 years ago) for my BS. Then had a 3.65 when I got my MA. Then took AP 1 and 2, Micro, Bio, Chemistry, Lifespan, Bioethics and Religion and had a 4.0 in all of those, all within the past 18 months. The two BSN programs for which I applied both said my GPA was weak but were both happy that they saw progression in my MA and that I could handle the science classes.

Just got into a nursing masters program
Gpa= 3.38
Sciences= 3.66
My school seems to take a "holistic" approach when reviewing applicants... They look at previous healthcare experiences, the personal statements, they see if a students gpa went progressively upwards etc...
