Acceping letter - GPA

xt1 · Aug 13, 2006

We dont have to take a critical thinking exam or a Teas here they go by GPA, RN entrance exam score, and ACT score.

Though I haven't applied yet I currently have a 4.0 gpa 22 act 26 in science and have yet to take the entrance exam... ( phear the vocabulary ... Im so behind on it. )

Going try and keep the 4.0 gpa though Im taking full loads the next 2 quarters so I can attempt to get into the program spring 07, I expect it to be tough.

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for advice on where to apply, given my grades. My first priority is to get into a program ASAP. I have a 3.3 overall, 3.7 in sciences, and an MBA. I live in CA, and relocating and tuition are not a problem. I'm really frustrated by the competition to get into nursing school. Any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated

Received an alternate letter (in july) for fall 2006 with a 2.89, didn't get into the LPN program. Now I have a 3.06 waiting for my acceptance into the RN program spring 2007. I was told that I have a better shot, because my Micro class (A) wasn't considered because it's not a pre req for the LPN; however, it is for the RN. Science GPA 4.0

My school's pre reqs:

A&p 185 (5cr) or A&P 281 (4cr) & 282 (4cr)

Micro (4cr)

Psyc (4cr)

pre alg (5cr)

eng 101 (3cr)

CNA course (6cr)

You're going to kill me for typing this because I know all too well the pain of "waiting"......I have taken all pre-reqs for RN, I currently have a BS in business....my overall gpa sucks but prereq is 3.7 so I opted to walk in to a local votech and apply for their LPN programs too (tired of waiting), I applied to two different schools. The second school, I picked up the application on Sept 15th, turned it in complete on the 18th and before I left, I had confirmation of acceptance and a bill and list of "things to do" before starting school Jan 8th. I have applied to a few other schools but am waiting. Except now, I'm digging the one I've been accepted to because the schedule is condusive to working full time and after LPN, I should be able to make more money for the family. I'm pretty psyched. So I found out in about 2 hours that I was in. Wierd huh, but they have a pretty good reputation.
