Gru cnl program fall 2016

[bglover4]

Hi I am currently a senior at GRU and I would like to know if anyone has applied to their CNL program and have gotten in with a GPA under 3.0. I am applying this December of 2015 and I will have a GPA of about 2.85. I will be taking 3/4 additional postbacc courses after I graduate which will put me up to about 2.9ish. I also plan to take the GRE in September or October. I have spoken with admissions and and explained my situation and she still encouraged me to apply to the program despite my GPA. She also informed me that they have taken students with a GPA lower than a 3.0.

Glad to hear that. I am right at 3.0 and was concerned about this issue. I am returning to school in my 40's and had one bad semester over 20 years ago that is dragging my gpa down!

I applied to the CNL program for fall 2015 and I was placed on the wait list to later find out I unfortunately did not get accepted. My gpa is about 3.4 and my gre wasnt that great so I took the MAT instead. Needless to say, I interviewed and everything, but was so close to getting in. I just hope this year, since they moved the application process over to the online portal through nursing CAS, that the transition is smooth and hopefully we hear back sooner from the admissions committee.

I think if you have 3 great references, extracurricular work, and higher test scores you'll be considered. Thats one thing I like about their program is that they look at the student as a whole rather than just grades and test scores.

So, last time you were invited in for an interview and were not accepted? I just had an interview last week, and I hear from some folks that if you get an interview you're pretty much golden. I've also heard the opposite. This is going to be the longest 4-6 weeks of my life, I think!
