GPA issues - grad school within reach

Published

Hello,

I just graduated in December with my BSN from UTA. I am wanting to continue on to grad school for Nuse practitioner. However, upon applying, my undergrad GPA is 2.92. I struggled a bit doing my RN-BSN as I had my child 7 weeks earlier than planned...right in the middle of 3 classes. I failed 2 and that tanked my GPA. The school I'm applying for has suggested I take a 3 credit hour class ( can be an undergrad class) be sure to get an "A" to bring my GPA up enough to get into the program. I gave looked at the classes I got C's in, in hopes of maybe retaking one, but these are classes like US government and Texas politics.

Has anyone just taken a class to bring up your GPA? What kind of class did you take? Any suggestions on which way would be better to go?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any advice, insight, experience?

I know this was a lot of the advice I received. Can you retake the classes that you did not do well in? Also if you are working and getting experience it might help with that some.

I contacted my school I graduated from and apparently it's illegal to retake classes I have already finished a degree in. I have reached out to advisors at my school to see what they suggest.
