3.55 Gpa

lindyhopper · Apr 20, 2006

Hi,

I have recently received acceptance to a graduate entry program with a GPA of 3.1. During the application process I was extremely nervous that my gpa was not "good enough". I would credit my acceptance to my volunteer, research, and medical experience. My advice is to get to know the school you apply to. If the school strictly depends of GPA, then try to find another school that values other experiences and talents. Don't give up! Good Luck!!!!!

which programs did you apply to?

3.55 is pretty good. Most programs will say they accept 3.0 GPA, but the higher your GPA the higher up the waiting list you go in some places. I had a 3.5 and had no trouble getting in a program.

Keith, what school are you attending?Rather, what school accepted your GPA of 3.5 into their program?

I think 3.5 is great to get accepted to many nursing programs. I dont think I would worry too much. Good luck to you.

Eastern Menonite University in VA, BSN program. The school is pretty good with a first time pass rate of 91.2 on the national boards.

I had a 3.5 and I applied to 4 different programs located here in NYC and in California and I got in to all of them:)

3.55 is very good. I wouldn't worry much about that.

Good luck

Let me clarify this..I was living in SF, Ca and applied to schools there and the ONLY school here in NYC was Adelphi. Adelphi was the first school to accept me, 2 others in CA put me on a one year waiting list and one sent me my acceptance letter 6 (SIX!!) months AFTER Adelphi accepted me which was 4 weeks after I applied. I forgot that I applied to SRJC (my alma mader for JC) also and they denied me b/c they added an English class to their prerequisites and I wasn't aware ot it. I chose Adelphi b/c at the time, it was the best choice and actually, still is. Although I took a HIKE in tuition, I am done in 12 months:) This wouldn't have been the case with the other schools! The schools in Ca were state schools, all of them. SF, San Diego and Bakersfield.

Hope that helps, I think I should have calrified that I only applied and now attend the NYC school. Sorry.
