I'm sure this question is asked often, so I do apologize if you're sick of reading posts similar to this one. But, I was just wondering what you thought my chances of getting into school were:
-I have an associates in liberal arts, graduated with a 3.5
-transferred to a 4 year college and got a degree in Psychology, graduated there with a 3.27 (not so great I know, it was a rough year for me). I think my combined GPA from associates and bachelors is like a 3.4.
-I have no experience in the health field (other than working in a nursing home in the activities department for 2 years).
I recently enrolled into school again to finish pre-nursing classes, I have gotten A's in A&P 1 and 2, Chemistry, and Microbiology.
I'm feeling a little discouraged though because I know that my previous college work is not quite up to par to be truly competitive.
I'm applying to several schools, if you have any suggestions to make me a more competitive applicant please let me know!!

it really depends on your school's selection criteria.......one of the schools I am applying for only considers the GPA of your science prereqs and your entrance exam scores.
the other 2 consider the GPA of many other classes....sooooo look at your school's criteria and study for whichever exam they use.
