Apply for Fall 2008

I plan on applying to a community college ASN program for fall 2008. I currently attend a 4 year college in pre-nursing, but have had a few problems the past couple of semesters in non related pre nursing classes and have decided I have a better chance apllying for an ASN then BSN.

The school I am applying to requires a minimum of a 2.0 on all college coursework and a 19 on the ACT or 40 on the pre nursing exam. Pre reqs are not required because the way they do it your Semester I can be the EN 101, MATH 112, AP 1, and General Psych or you can already have those completed and start your Nursing classes.

Well I have taken EN 101 & 102 both with As, BIOL 1020 A, Microbiology with a B, General Psych & Developmental Psych with Bs, Math 100 & 112 with As, Genetics with a C, and Intro to Inorganic Chemistry with an A, and Intro to Organic Chemistry with an A. I have a 21 on my ACT but am thinking about taking the pre nursing entrance exam just for back up assurance. And I am currently re taking AP 1 and should get a B if not an A at the 4 year college. The only down fall is that even though my science grades are good and I have more than needed to even complete the program and all of my Semester I classes are completed, my overall college course GPA is only a 2.6 because of some problems I ran into taking some college psych classes and getting diagnosed with anxiety disorder and withdrawing from classes last fall.

So I am fully aware I will probably get rejected for at least a semester, but I was wondering what other people thought of my situation or if something similiar has happened to anyone else. Does anyone think I stand a chance.. I know they accept around 70 people in the fall. Any feedback or encouragement to keep trying would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Those look like great grades to me! I don't know how the schools you are looking at weigh your GPA, but all the ones down here only look at your grades for the prereq-type courses which count toward the program. Check with your schools to see, but I bet you're better off than you think. Good luck!
