GPA for MSN

UVA Grad Nursing · Aug 21, 2009

It would depend on the program of study you want and on the University that you are applying towards.

The mean GPAs at competitive programs for competitive MSNs is much higher than the admissions requirement at a university that accepts most applicants

I know Troy State wants 850 GRE and may be more flexible with GPA- I think they admit prob w 2.5 or 3.0--I have looked@ so many schools @ this point they have blended into one-lol! I went to U of AL undergrad (ROLL TIDE!) and looking at UAB,Troy State ( I live in NC and need distance)

I have a 3.25 GPA. Do you think I would have trouble getting into a Master's program with this GPA?

No, you will not have any problem getting into a graduate program. That is a B grade. Colleges and universities accept a GPA of 3.0 or above. Once you are admitted in the MSN program, it cannot go below 3.0. If it does, you would be placed on probation and given the opportunity to improve your GPA by taking some courses.

GOOD LUCK

no msn program accepts a gpa of 2.5. it has to be 3.0 or higher to be accepted. that is in all 50 states.

Here is a link to Troy's conditional acceptance requirements of a 2.5 GPA:

They are not the only school that has conditional requirements like these. Hope this helps to clarify.
