ADVICE PLEASE...C in A&P 1 Lecture

Published

Here's my dilemma...I am in a ADN program so the only required classes before I start the nursing program are A&P 1/2, Micro, Intro to Psychology, College Algebra, Humanities, Composition & Rhetoric (English). So far my grades look like this:

A&P 1 Lecture: C

A&P 1 Lab: B

English: A+

College Algebra: A

Intro to Psych: B

I took these classes in the summer but I'm afraid that I won't get in with that C. I am confident that I will pass the rest of the classes with an A, but has anyone gotten accepted with a C in biology???? If I have to retake it, I won't be able to apply for nursing until 2015 which would kill me. My current gpa is a 3.23 and I need a 58.7% on the TEAS and an overall gpa of 2.75 to be considered. I want to be as competitive as possible. Someone please give me some advice...

Ask your academic adviser what your school's policy on retaking classes is. If your school is anything like ours, you won't get in with a C in any prerequisite class. Many schools will either take the latest grade, highest attempt, or an average of the scores. They may also have a limit on how many times you can take it.

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely be checking into that. I figured it would be impossible to get in with a C, but I wanted to be sure. I hope they will allow me to retake it and just take the better of the two scores. I cannot believe this is happening right now :(
