B in A & P II , Uni South Fl, Opinions?

[V_Winnie]

Hi guys. I am fairly new to this website. I'm still learning and this is my first post.

I know nursing is extremely competitive now a days. That's why I'm worried about my B's in A & P II in both my lecture and lab. I got an A in all of my other courses. Those two classes were my first B's. I am taking Microbiology in the fall and will be working hard for the A's. If I get A's in microbiology, then my prerequisite GPA will be 3.86.

I plan on applying to Uni South FL next year, do you think I still have a good chance of getting accepted into their nursing program?

I know some suggestions would be re-taking the class, but I looked into their website and they look at "first-attempt grades in pre-requisites". My Anatomy Lecture teacher told me I was going to be fine, but I'm not sure.

What do you guys think?

I need your opinions.....

Good Morning and welcome to allnurses! It is a great place to find an answer to all your questions about nursing

I have always found the best way to get the best answer is to go directly to the source - ask the nursing program that you are applying to for their selection guidelines. Most, if not all, programs have a stated list of how they select students, commonly a "point system" with GPA, TEAS, etc.

Good luck!

Welcome to Allnurses. If you maintain your 3.86 and write a good essay you should have no problem being excepted into USF. I know of other student including myself who had lower GPA's and wrote good essays and were accepted, and I know of students who had exceptional GPA's but lousy essays who were denied.
