I currently hold a BS in psychology and am taking the pre-req. i will be done with the pre-reqs in Dec. 08.
My undergrad GPA is a 2.5 and from what i understand accelerated BSNs are looking for 3.0 and over.
Would it be best to apply to a associates program and then get into a BSN program?
Should i just try applying with that GPA? Has anyone else had this problem?
As long as admissions doesn't think that way !! :uhoh21:
A "W" here or there is not an issue. A slate of them in one semester is not an issue - though someone may ask why you pulled out. A generous helping of W's liberally sprinkled throughout your transcript is a warning sign.
For what it's worth, I got into a competitive program with a 1st-degree transcript that had 4 F's, 2 D's, and 2 W's. In order to graduate, I repeated all four F's and one D and got A, A, B, B, C but those old grades did not disappear from the paperwork. The thing is, I followed that lackluster performance with 7 semesters of A's in upper division chemistry and biology so I proved that I could be a successful student after all.
There is no 'formula', just do your best and you'll probably be OK.

W's have no effect on your GPA. The only thing they are used for is to put you on academic probabtion
