Can I be accepted into an ADN program with 2.53 GPA in prerequisites?

That depends on the program and how many applicants verses spaces they have. A 3.0 (your highest) is not impressive for most programs, though ...less than that, even less so. My program counted the average of sciences, only. Some programs actually admit on a first come, first served basis. And of course, there are the for profit school that cost a small fortune and will admit anyone willing to pay it.

I suggest you met with someone from the school(s) you are interested and ask them how to improve your odds.

Good luck to you.

It depends on the school.... I definitely encourage you to research many options, and to talk to an academic advisor. Find a variety of schools and ask if you should retake classes. Many times For the schools in my area you need a 3.6 to be looked at and a 3.8 or higher to be a good candidate.... My school said "You have to have a 2.5 to apply" But the lowest GPA they took was about a 3.7

Thank you all. Another thing is that the college deducts points if you retake any course, but the encourage you to repeat classes if you have to. I feel that it's a contradiction.

Ahhh gotcha. At my school they don't allow you to re-take classes unless you got a D or lower. So many students who got B/Cs in class's would go to the local community college & retake them there. I wonder if they would deduct points if you did that?

Anywho, I highly recommend researching a variety of schools! Some places will let you retake classes until your GPA is better, and then they'll take your efforts into consideration when you apply for the nursing program :)

Thank you! This school is graduating there 1st RN class this Spring.
