@megirl: Do you applying for a accelerated program or just a regular bachelors?

dream& achieve · Jun 5, 2010

my pre req.'s= 4.0

my overall gpa( career) is 3.96

hope this helps..I know of people getting in with a lot lower (2.9), but they were also LPN's to boot, so that helped them

Im applying to the LPN program and so far I have a 4.0 but I have not finished A&P 2 yet and doubt I can hold on to this. I am so sick of the straight A game. I have been having nightmares the past week about this. Last week I dreamt that I got a C- on my first A&P 2 exam, last night I had a dream that I got a 4.0 and was still not accepted into the program! I really am screwed if I dont get in this year.

thanks for your reply, I'm applying for the 2 year program at san jac central

got 4.0 on all my science and 3.85 over all but I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get in the fall 2010 I have all my pre reqs the only one I need is intro to psych everything else is done with.

Did any of you apply at san jac and received a letter that they received the application?

I know I heard about people getting with that 2.9 but I guess will have to wait and see I wish someone that got in the program would post something about the gpa they got in with

Hopefull:uhoh3:

I'm going for the accelerated program at san jac. I spoke to the councelor she told me I had nothing to worry about. But I'm still worried wish this month was over with. It would be very sad if I didn't get in with my gpa

I wonder how many students they have room for this fall??

Did you apply for the program yourself?

3.91 for prereq's and bonus courses, but overall 3.7. I have 2 previous degrees, which gave me bonus points. LPA/CNA work doesn't give us bonus points or any credit whatsoever. I think their theory is to train us how they want us, vs. undoing training from other programs. West coast schools are so competitive because of overpopulation (& smart women!). I was told having a B in any prerequisite or course on my application would not be good. I had 1 and still got in, but the fact that I had a master's degree made up for it in points. So yeah, basically people need a 4.0 or previous degrees and all bonus points offered. (extra classes, taking classes at their school exclusively, being a county resident, finished every single course possible for the degree, not just prerequisites).

Got in on 1st try. Very relieved, it still doesn't seem real. Good luck everyone & congrats - also don't give up anyone else - we are all getting in by the skin of our teeth.
