Do I have hope for getting into nursing school?

So I am mostly worried about my not getting into a BSN program because of my cumulative GPA. I will graduate with a bachelors degree in Human Development (concentration of Pre-Health Promotion) this semester with a cumulative GPA of 3.4. I changed my major a few times and did not start trying in school until I became passionate about nursing and realized I wanted to attend nursing school. Over the past 4 semesters I have received all 4.0's, and my prerequisite GPA is between a 3.7-3.9 depending on the classes schools require.

I have over a year of experience working as a CNA (both at a hospital and in a nursing home) and will continue working in that position until I (hopefully) attend nursing school. I also volunteer weekly at a hospital, and have logged well over 100 hours.

I want to attend a pretty competitive nursing program (UC Denver - either accelerated or traditional is fine with me).

Will my other experiences help buffer my mediocre GPA?

Pls give me some hope haha.

    Hey! Honestly, I do not see what you are complaining about. Your undergrad GPA is 3.4 and your science pre-req GPA is 3.9. You have a practical healthcare experience and you logged in at least a 100 hours of volunteering. I say you are in a good standing, you have all the chances of getting in.

    Why would you even question it?! You're in great standing unless the schools you want to get into are severely competitive. Honestly, look at the schools that you want to apply to and look at their past admission statistics.

    Due to some struggles with depression early in my college career, I completed my pre-requisites with a staggering 2.9 GPA. Luckily, the school I chose looked not only at my grades, but took my personal statement and my pre-admission interview into account, and I got in on the first try, to the only school I applied to. You got this!
