Are there any accelerated programs that do not just look at GPA??

I am an LPN with a Bachelors in business. I am not the best classroom student, I have great clinical grades, but I struggled a bit in the classroom setting (passed everything, and did manage to get my license). Are there any accelerated programs that do not just look at GPA??

    Most of the accelerated programs that I know of require a minimum 2.5 grade point average in the prerequisite classes to be accepted. My friend, who is an LPN with a BS degree in public health, did get accepted into an accelerated BSN program with a 2.6 grade point average, but it was at a noncompetitive private university with a pricey tuition of $42,000.

    I wish! I have been told they look at GPA because they "can" due to the high number of applicants!

    University of Michigan looks at their applicants holistically. I think it might be a good school to consider. I was accepted and feel that they looked at me as more than just a candidate with a fair GPA but took into consideration my experience, and personal essays.

    Check it out, it may be worth your while
