I was recently told by a different advisor that the last pre req gpa "cut off" for the generic RN program was in the 3.5 range (WITH Cs being retaken) which was verified by what I read here. Today I was told the last 3 admission cycles did not admit below 3.8!!!! so which is accurate? If it's 3.5 I can get in, if it's 3.8 I can't so I want to know if I should spent the 25$ to apply or just take the pre reqs for other programs which I think are slightly lower?!?
I am very frustrated, on a number of occasions I have been given incorrect information from advising.
Can anyone give any input or can anyone give the gpa they got accepted or declined with?
Thanks for the reply. I just cant believe they put a whole 50 percent on the net. Its only one test, for 2 hours and the prereqs are longer harder and require far more studying. I would think it would be a 80/20 split or maybe 75/25 weighted split. Well this does favor me a bit, just cant believe it. I have a 3.9 Gpa and a 93 net. But it just doesnt seem fair with the amount of work we put into the prereqs. Anyways its great to hear from someone who knows.
Thanks again

I totally agree with you! When you only have 2 different things to look at for admission (gpa and net scores) and the first takes one to two semesters of your life with a lot of work and exams, so that you can do well in pre reqs and the GPA of all of those classes is looked at just as much as a 2 hour test is just crazy!
But on the up side for you....it sounds like you did very well! Was your 93 your overall score?
