Helpppppp looking to apply to programs for the upcoming semesters

Hi there.... I am in some desperate need of advice. I'm an MICU nurse with 2 years experience. I've also been finishing my BSN and working very hard towards becoming a CRNA. Went back to school just this past fall and studied full time while working full time. My GPA is about a 3.6 and I've just been invited to the honors program. I am basically living, breathing and eating towards becoming a CRNA and basically given up life to work towards this. I recently took the CCRN exam and got an 82% so I have to retest but I think it's because I honestly didn't study as much as I needed to because I am doing so much. Everyone in my family is telling me I need to slow down but I just want to get into a program so bad. Now I still have to take the GRE which I doubt I will do well because I was kind of a bad kid in high school and didn't have that kind of math so I am literally just learning it all now and cramming. I'm wondering if Rutgers will consider me pending my BSN degree (I will be done this May). I know Columbia said they do. Also does has anyone else been accepted to Columbia without having the best GRE scores? Ugh I just really want to get in this coming year so bad. Any advice??

    The math required on the GRE is math you should've taken in college as well. Don't set yourself up for failure by assuming you're going to do poorly on the GRE just because you used to be bad at math. They make courses and tons of books to prep for the GRE that let you teach yourself. If you think you're going to do poorly, of course you're going to do poorly. A positive attitude will help more than you think.

    Thanks! I had to take a placement test prior to being admitted to my community college when taking my preclinical courses. Oddly enough, I passed the more difficult portion and failed the easier one so I had to take a brush up course. I did great in my drug calculations class though and okay in stats. Just super nervous and feels like all my life goals are riding on this. Ugh...
