I know that one of the requirements for CRNA school is a minimum undergrad GPA of 3.0... but how is this calculated. Will they include dropped/withdrawn courses and developmental courses? Any answers or guesses would be appreciated. Thanks!

That is a big mystery. It gets very complex with science GPAs, nursing GPAs, classes you did poorly in and repeated for a higher grade. Best course is to ask the schools individually.

3.0 GPA is your overall GPA that is on your transcript from your college. After this they will usually take your nursing and science courses and would like to see that at atleast a 3.0 if not better in those courses. Hope it helps.

I've had two program directors tell me that if you have above a 3.5 you'll get in either in the first or second year. I hope that's true! Seems like the overall picture is important to most schools - GPA, GRE and ICU experience - so if you're weak in one area try to boost the others.
