HESI/Admission Deadline

[wannabe11]

Hello everyone!

I'm on my second semester in community college and I work fulltime. I took 18 hours last semester and got a 2.67 G.P.A which is HORRIBLE considering I want to eventually get into med school. So Im going to take the HESI test next week ( before the may 1st deadline) and I wanted to know do you think they'll make an exception for my GPA if I do exceptionally well on this test. my grades this semester are wayyyy better, I'm expecting a 3.8 this semester. But as you all know the deadline ends before the semester so I would have to send my fall GPA. Also I havent taken any sciences yet.... I'm going to do that summer and fall 2010.

PLEASSSSSE HELP!!!!!! THANKSSSSS.

Well, at my school they do not care about GPA, I have 3.85 GPA and they would not even consider it. As for science get some anatomy books and physiology ,it will help you if you brush off this. I have problems with reading comprehension and I am trying to get this of my shoulders, it is not easy.

Good lack to you.

If you want to know how things work and if they grant exceptions, talk to the nursing department or an advisor at your school. I applied to three different schools for Fall 2010, all in the same area, and they all had very different requirements.

If you want to be a doctor, why are you going to nursing school? IMHO, you'd be better off just doing a "typical" pre-med sequence like bio. You (probably) won't get the O-Chem and Physics based calculus you need to apply to med school through a traditional nursing program, and nursing school is generally not kind to your GPA. Not to mention nursing is not medicine, it's nursing.

trailerparkmedic, I do not know who are you talking with, but if it is me, I do not want to be a doctor, I want to be a nurse. And GPA shows my ability to study and overcome obstacles like science classes.

I was responding to the OP, who stated their GPA is terrible for "med school."
