This is my senior year of high school and gpa is not as good as it should be neither is my class rank if that matters, my freshman and sophomore year i didn't take school as serious because i had a lot friends in my classroom and i'm the type of person that is very easily distracted especially around friends and for some reason i just thought school wasn't for me but my junior i was sick of being a slack and started to get my grades in order and since i didn't have friends in my classes my grades were at its highest its ever been so my freshman year i ended with a 1.9 sophomore 2.0 and and right now i'm at 2.28 but most community colleges you need at least a 2.5 or higher to get in does anyone think that i have a chance of getting accepted into a nursing program?
P.s. taking sats on Saturday hope i get a descent score
If that's what I needed help on I would have ask
You CAME here asking for help, you just didn't know that you would receive advice that you didn't realize you really did need. Your responses seem childish, and with low academic indicators, and NOT those of a college-bound high school senior.
Good luck.
Your high school GPA is good enough to be admitted to a community college. You'll have to take pre-requisite courses before you apply for admission to the nursing program. These vary from program to program, but usually include college algebra and some sciences (human anatomy, chemistry, microbiology, etc.). It's also a good idea to get non-nursing courses like English, psychology, and nutrition out of the way, so you can focus on your nursing courses once you're in the program.
It's your GPA in these college level pre-requisite courses that will matter in applying to a nursing program, not your high school GPA. The nursing program will likely only care that you graduated high school. The college may look at your high school GPA for placement in math and English courses, but often they look more at your ACT or SAT scores for this. You may have to take some remedial courses if your scores are too low.
You're still in a good position to get into a nursing program, if that's what you want to do. Your high school grades won't necessarily hold you back. Just keep working this year, and be ready to work even harder once you start college classes. Most programs require a 2.5 college GPA, but that's the minimum. Admission to nursing programs is highly competitive; the higher your scores, the better your odds are of getting in. Good luck and don't forget to enjoy your senior year!
So, Paco, you agreed with me (appreciated) but gave a "like" to that rather rude response by Miss Ashlee?
Um yes ... I need to explain that, lol. I meant to press QUOTE on my iPad and instead pressed LIKE and for some reason I cannot unlike it! it was definitely an error on my part, for the record!
Edited to add: never mind, I was able to unlike through web as opposed to the app. :)

As for the rest, considering her rudeness, you gave some VERY good information and advice, whether it is accepted (or deserved) or not :)
