Getting into NP school

The schools I applied to had different criteria. Some only look at the last 2 years of your undergraduate degree. Others were stricter and looked at your cumulative undergrad GPA or even your science (pre req) GPA. It just depends on the school.

Agreed. It depends on the school itself. Some look at your overall GPA. Some look at only the last 60 hours or nursing courses and sciences. Some look at last 60 hours/nursing courses AND overall GPA.

Depends on the school, but there are a few online programs that take anyone with a checkbook.

Yes. And they are mostly but not limited to the for-profits. Go to collegescorecard.ed.gov to look at undergraduate and retention rates of most of these lovelies and use that information to deduce how well their graduate programs will do you in turn.

By the time they are finished with you, you'll have to order more checks, but know, student loans are the real objects of their desire.

For the school I got to, a competitive student had a GPA of 3.7 You had to have at LEAST a 3.5 to apply. I am not sure you'd get in with that low of a GPA. Maybe take a few fluff classes try to beef it up?

Yes and by far most of those are the expensive and poorly performing for-profit schools as exemplified by the University of Phoenix and EDMC run South University.

But don't take my word for it, So as to not be accused of bias, look them up yourself at (collegescorecard.ed.gov) and start your real post secondary education.

I just got accepted into Simmons College's ASN-FNP program. Simmons is ranked #16 in Northwest Regional Schools and has a 100% ANCC pass rate. My overall GPA is only a 3.1, my ASN gpa is 3.3 and also I had a 3.3 in LPN school. I just graduated RN school last December 2015, but immediately landed a job in the NICU. I think that worked in my favor. Also, I basically begged and told them to forgive my freshmen year grades because that ultimately brought my GPA down tremendously.

yea in my pre-reqs, i had about a 3.2, but my gap took a big hit in nursing school. Plus our grading scale isn't on a 10 point scale like some schools, which seems kinda unfair to me, but whatever. But yea, I'm determined to get a 4.0 on my last semester and get a 4.0 in my RN-BSN program and hopefully get into a good quality NP program.
