I'm currently completing all the prerequisites that is required for various different accelerated BSN programs but have questions about the difficulty in admissions. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what the difficulty level is on getting admitted to a program even if it's one of the easier programs to get into.
I was never a good student when I earned my first BA earning a relatively average GPA of about 2.5 which was many years ago. However ever since I started going back to school, my GPA currently excluding everything from my first time going to college is currently now around 3.5-3.8 from taking all the prereqs which consists of relatively 30-40 semester units so far. I was wondering if this helps in the admission process since most of these programs require at least a 3.0 GPA from undergraduate studies. Unfortunately my cumulative GPA including all the horrible grades in the past is barely around the minimum required for these programs. Just want to know what to expect realistically. Appreciate any help!
EDIT:
I didn't really browse through the threads thoroughly but I found a similar topic just like mine that answers my question. No need to reply unless you really want to. Thanks!

I would actually talk to the schools. Many schools around here have information sessions where they say you can bring your transcripts and discuss with them.
I think in undergrad, I had barely above a 3.0 but most of my classes from the last 2 years were A's and it was 12 years ago so who knows.
