Competitve GPA?

So i just applied at my local community college for their nursing program. Now it's just a waiting game. What I would like to know is what does everyone on here consider a competitive GPA. I know all schools are different but I'm just curious (:

3.6 or so and above

I would say at least 3.5

I got denied at a competitive school with 3.7, retook a class and got accepted with a 3.82. I am now in the mindset where I ALWAYS strive for 4.0 in every class I take, you should do the same. Do what it takes for that 4.0

I got in with a 3.8, seemed to be the standard for most schools in my area

Wow I have a. 3.57

[RNtoACGNP]

Call your DON and ask if they can give you any information on the lowest GPA that is usually accepted

[Vfloo2]

Well last year the average GPA of people accepted was only a 3.28. But a few years back the average GPA was a 3.57 so it varies.

I took my pre req's and transferred to Rutger's New Brunswick with a 3.88 GPA. Someone got in with a 3.0 and some people didn't get in with a 3.5+. GPA matters, but I think supplemental materials are as important.

It really depends on the school. Some places you can get in with a 3.5. Others you can have a 3.8 and still not get in. Ask the schools about the average accepted applicant's GPA

I'd like to add on to that. The school I transferred to looked at our overall GPA and science GPA.

Hi There.

Where I live, it's very competitive because there are so few spaces open each year. 3.75 to 4.0 is where the counselors tell you to aim. Even with that, I currently have a 4.0 and with the competition and my TEAS score of only 80%, I may not make the cut this year. Clock is ticking on my wait for an answer. I guess the higher your grades, the better, but it's not a guarantee depending on how impacted your program is.
