Fall 2018 University of Memphis LCON(Loewenberg College of Nursing)

[star2]

Hi I am a sophomore at The University of Memphis and I have recently applied to Loewenberg. I have completed all of my prereqs accept microbiology which I am taking this coming Spring'18. For A&PI I made a B in the lecture and an A in the lab. For part 2, I made a C in the lecture and a B in the lab. I'm really disappointed because this is the first C I've made in college and I understand that LCON is very competitive. I have a high GPA but the C lowered it to a 3.5. I originally had a 3.7. I plan on taking A&PII online in the Spring to get a better a grade. I'm extremely nervous that I won't get accepted because of the C. I was told that we may hear a decision at the end of the Spring semseter but I was unsure how true this is. I noticed the ones who applied for the Spring'18 got their decision in the middle of the semester. I would appreciate any advice.

Yea me! Got in the first time with those similar numbers.

Ok Thanks for replying! I may have a chance but I'm feeling a little uncertain that my overall GPA is too low. I was advised to apply anyway just to see.

Hello. I am looking to apply for spring 20 semester... But unsure because my overall GPA is is only a 3.21 and science is a 3.3. ...Did you hear of anyone in your group getting in with numbers like that?

[EMT_2RN]

Yea I was in the same boat. Was adviced to do the same and I was accepted. With LCON you just never know. All you can do is apply and hope for the best. I’m in my 3rd semester now almost done and I’m happy I decided to come here

I hear the program is very competitive getting in but well worth it. Congratulations to you!!.. I will apply but if I don't get in my plan is to work on that GPA and get it up some.

[EMT_2RN]

Yes it is very competitive and very tough once you’re in. My advice is don’t wait to long on LCON unless it’s the ONLY program u want to be in. Not meant to discourage but always have a backup plan even with an optimistic outlook on your chances. How old are you if u don’t mind me asking?

It's fine. I understand were you are coming from. I'm ooollddd!..32..lol and yes I am weighting out all my options..Was looking at Swcc and Baptist also. The extra classes at Baptist I will have to take have me feeling like noooo..lol trying to avoid that. I'm currently enrolled at Swcc...was going to take a couple elective classes just to get my GPA up this Fall.

Don’t feel bad I’m 34 lol. I think you will be fine either way. Those extra classes kept me from Baptist as well

Yes I am definitely trying to avoid those. Though it is an option just in case. I'm scheduled to take the NLN for Swcc but Uofmemphis is my first choice.

[EMT_2RN]

Lol you sound so much like me when I was applying. I’m rooting for you for sure. Keep me posted on what you end up doing. U can look me up on fb also. If u get into Memphis you will have a hundred more questions I’m sure

[Jeree410]

Thank you so much!!..Hope to be were you are soon..and yes I will have a thousand of questions I'm sure.. I'm joking. And congratulations again.
