has anyone got into nursing school with below a 3.5 gpa?

I haven't been accepted but I was "waitlisted" for UTHSCH with a 3.2. So she has a great chance.

I guess I should also note that this is out of 800.

My former coworker got accepted into the BSN program at Tarleton State with a 3.0 grade point average.

TCU is also another school that will realistically accept applicants that have less than a 3.5 grade point average due to their expensive tuition rates.

I just got accepted to UTMB with around a 3.0 if that helps!

Hey, i got accepted into PVAMU with around 3.2, so anything is achievable and also I had a coworker that go into UTHSC with a 3.0. Never lose hope allcan be done

I got into uthsc with 3.5 prereq, 3.38 sci, and 3.0 overall from previous degree. But, I also had like 99 percentile NET and prior healthcare experience.

To send a little encouragement. I was accepted into UTA with a 3.0 GPA. It was a rough road, I was wait listed twice and got accepted on the second go round. Only a semester after my initial application. I always say once you're in everybody is on a level playing field, because nursing school is like no other. Some people have book smarts and can't apply the info and there are others who have difficulty with the material/test but are great when it comes to clinicals/direct patient care. I would say I was in between...LOL. I graduated May 07, passed NCLEX with 75 questions and just began my ACNP program this fall. Currently taking 2 classes while working fulltime with an 18 month old and husband at home. Adv Patho 92% avg and Theory 91%. I am telling my story because it is possible. I believe in prayer. Good luck to you and your friend.
