GPA TEAS & ACT ? LPN?

Okay here is my dilemma freshman year first semester I did worst than horrible my GPA was like 1.75 . Second semester I did GREAT my GPA improved but not enough so I took a class over the summer I reached a 2.0 BUT I lost my financial aid due to hours attempted over passing from my freshman year first semester ������ It's like I do better but it's still a struggle currently I have a 2.02 currently its my sophomore year kinda it's still bad Ik but I still had hope until tonight scrolling through Simply Nursing on Facebook I saw a post about a girl applying to nursing school with a 3.5 getting denied I freaked myself out.

I'm applying to LPN schools with a 2.02 GPA 22 ACT & a 65.3% TEAS score .

The basis for the schools I'm applying to is 2.0 & 16 ACT & 50% on TEAS

Im currently taking A&P 1 I have a A in lec & lab so that's a plus I guess. lol I'm ranting but what do you guys think should I start looking at other options(cna pct or something) or what?

Sorry to tell you, but a 22 ACT score is not "high" and a 65.3 TEAS score is not "high". Those are actually really low scores. I would start looking at other options.

I appreciate your honesty. I know they are not high in terms of competitiveness but in comparison to the minimum for the program standards. Being that it's a LPN program.

I'm applying to nursing programs currently and from my experience, the GPA and TEAS scores listed are the minimum numbers to even apply. What you should look for is if they have a cohort statistics page of the average GPA and TEAS scores of the people admitted that round. For one of my schools the minimum GPA to apply is 3.0 and TEAS is 70%, but the students admitted averaged around 3.5 GPA and 86% TEAS. You should ask the program what scores people have when admitted because it's usually higher than the minimum.
