I started attending Auburn University Montgomery in 2013 for a BSN. Then I realized Troy Montgomery had an ASN so I transferred there. However, I could not continue to attend Troy Montgomery because I have too many hours for an associate's degree for financial aid to fund. I transferred back to AUM and was finally able to apply to the program but I did not get accepted. Assuredly, it was because of my GPA which is a 2.5 something something something (2.5 is the minimum GPA for application). I do not want to retake any classes, although that may be necessary. I have taken all classes that did not require admittance to the program, therefore, there is nothing left for me to take to boost my GPA. I do not think I can enroll in any other ASN/ADN program because of my financial aid restriction. I was thinking of applying to Troy University in Troy but am not sure if their program is as competitive as AUM and would have to make some major lifestyle changes to be able to commute to and from Troy (which is about an hour drive from my home). I currently work full-time during the day, and I am a single parent to a 3 year old. I know I would eventually have to quit my job to attend the upper-division courses wherever I attend. I am even considering changing my major due to several bumps in the road thus far. Has anyone gone through this experience or something similar and/or can offer advice about where to go from here?
