4.0 gpa a myth?

[tea_leaf]

For those who are applying, I just wanted to say that I think the 4.0 gpa requirement is a myth. I think some counselors say that to get students to work harder. Other students may say that to discourage their competition. I understand that nursing school admissions is competitive so the higher the better. There are people who get into a nursing program without a perfect gpa.

At Tarrant County College (TCC), the school this thread is about, prior medical experience is not considered, and is stated so in the application packet. Science Grades, GPA, TEAS Score and Pre Reqs Completed are the top things looked at. Also, very soon, probably by Fall 2009, College Algebra will be required to even apply, so start taking it now. This news was given at a recent orientation at TCC.
