Good morning. I went to their website, and it looks like their minimum requirements are pretty low. Entry GPA is a 2.5, but they do say that those admitted are usually above 3.0. For ***/ADN degrees you will find that this is pretty common. The question would be how many people apply for enrollment and how many spots are available. Those with more starting requirements completed and a GPA will receive entry.

Is there something that you need to work on for entry? If so, boost your GPA and complete the prerequisites that you can. But what would it hurt to apply? Hopefully, if they do not enroll you, they will also advise yo u on how to improve your chances. Good luck. If you don't start, you will not get anywhere.

Many nursing schools are competitive. They do have a minimum GPA. Some schools require a 2.5 or 2.6 GPA; however, don't be surprised many applicants have GPAs o. 3.0, 3.5, 3.8 or higher. Contact your school and ask about the lowest GPA accepted over the past five years. This information can give you a clearer idea of the level of academic competition you may face during the selection process. Maybe you need to retake some classes for better grades. Ask your preferred schools, as they might be against repeated classes.

At the institution I attended, the stated minimum GPA requirement was 2.6; however, due to the highly competitive nature of the applicant pool, the lowest GPA actually accepted was 3.89. The program received approximately 1,000 applications, yet only 80 students were admitted. All of whom had GPAs of 3.89 or higher. The selection process was strictly merit-based, with decisions made according to academic ranking rather than through random selection. They have been receiving applications with exceptional GPAs. They also have the highest first-time pass rates on the NCLEX. The SON, like this school, is likely to be very picky with their selection, too.

It is important to note that admissions criteria vary among Schools of Nursing (SONs). While some institutions consider a holistic range of factors—such as prior healthcare experience, previous degrees, or personal statements—others base their admission decisions solely on academic performance, particularly GPA. |

You can turn around your grades. It's not the end of your career if you have a low GPA this time. Pick a SON who doesn't mind you retaking your biology classes. Be mindful of how many times you have repeated your classes, as they can backfire on your chances to be accepted.
