Am I a candidate for Accelerated BSN programs??

[minal3890]

Hello everone!

I have a B.S in nutrition dietetics options from Rutgers University and I am currently taking AP I/II at community college and am sure I will get an A in both (I took physiology in the past).

I got a C in Statistics, a B in Microbiology from community college, B in Nutrition and Health, A in Psych, and B in chem. I am also going to be a certified Phlebotomist before I apply for the ABSN for the Sept 2013 fall year.

My overall gpa for my b.s degree is a 2.94 I am not sure if taking API/II and psych at community college will help raise that gpa...

I have volunteer experience in a hospital and I am also planning on doing some hospice work.

Overall am I a good candidate or am I out of my league??

I specifically want to go to NYU or any NJ program since I am from NJ...

See what the schools around you accept as their minimum GPA. You never know until you apply.

I am in the Chicago area and the ABSN program I'm attending ( a good school ) only required a 2.75 min gpa. You then had to score a certain percentage on their entrance exam as well. So yes, definately check with all the schools you are interested in. Min gpa is a straightforward question that can easily be answered by them.
