You might consider speaking with advisors at both TCC and some of the Dallas County Community Colleges. Although there are several nursing programs in the area, all have high standards. There are so many people competing for each spot that the schools are able to set the bar very high.

I couldn't say but I believe the nursing school advisor would tell you honestly whether or not you have a good chance.

Tarleton State University would take you with your grade point average. They accepted a foreign coworker of mine who had an overall 2.8 grade point average, with 'B' grades in her sciences. Their admission standards are pretty lenient when compared to other area nursing programs. Also, I've heard that Tarleton is desperate for international students. The school is located about 70 miles west of Fort Worth.
