Hi, I was wondering what's a competitive gpa for entry-level msn programs in California.
I am a current student at UC Davis and will be graduating next year.
I think that my cumulative gpa will be around a 3.3 by the time I am done with my bachelors degree.
A little about me: I transferred to UC Davis last year from a CC. Unfortunately, I did really horrible my first year here (almost got kicked out). I have now changed my major and am performing much better. I am actually going to get all A's and A-'s this quarter! I know some schools focus more on your last 90 quarter units, and my last year may be taken into account in this situation since I will still be completing my last year when I apply.
My pre-req's are almost all A's, besides a C in general chemistry. I was not doing that great in school when I took gen chem. I have actually taken ochem and performed better in it than gen chem.
I would like to attend a school in northern California, but I am going to apply to southern california schools as well. Which schools do I have a chance of getting into (or do my chances of entry-level MSN not look good)?
Also, do you guys have any recommendations/advice for what I should do to become a more competitive applicant?
Are there also other threads about this topic? I wasn't able to find any. I am fairly new to this site.
