Emory is easier to get into than the public nursing schools. Public schools are a lot more competitive because Emory is so expensive!! You get the same degree.

what were your gpas? thanks

I have 2 friends who currently attend Emory (Nell Hodgson Woodfruff Shool of Nursing). They both started this year in August. One had a 4.0 GPA and the other had about a 3.8-3.9. Emory has a Question and answer section on their website for prospective students. I copied and pasted the following from their website.

What is the minimum GPA for admission?

We prefer to see at least a 3.0 in all course work. The average GPA of admitted students is a 3.45.

RNadia. My GPA is 3.3 Hopefully after I finish all my pre-requisites it will be at least a 3.5 =( I do not volunteer. I do work in the healthcare field but it is not hands on like a CNA. I was looking at the questions listed on Emory for the applicants to answers, I am scared because I do not have any volunteer or community service work. :crying2: Good luck to you RNadia! I hope we can keep in touch throughout our application process!!! =)

RNadia · Oct 26, 2010

Hlee. Yes we will keep in touch, im very scared because im done with all my prereqs and i have a 3.1, your gpa is way better than mine. good luck to you.But you should do volunteer at grady, i think it will help you. BTW where do you work ?

RNadia · Oct 26, 2010

Also i dont work as a CNA now, i would love too but can not find a job, i applied everywhere. Do you know anywhere in need for CNA?

hlee · Oct 26, 2010

RNadia. I work at a hospice. How is your volunteering experience at Grady? I found an application on Grady Hospitals website. It sounds like a great experience! As of right now I am not sure of any place hiring a CNA. Sorry. =/

Volunteering is great at grady, you should look into it. BTW, my gpa is a 3.1 everyone is telling me not to apply to emory with that gpa, because i wont get accepted, everyone is scaring me. should i take some classes to bring my gpa up, or just apply?
