I have taken pretty much all my pre-reqs and now its time for me to to take the entrance exam but I want to transfer to another school. Only problem is I got C's on the 3 main biology courses I need. Being A&P I and II and Micro. I do however have A's and B's in the rest of my classes but I feel like messed up to much with the 3 biology courses.

A lot of schools calculate both your overall GPA and your science GPA separately. It may be worth retaking some of your courses to up your science GPA.

Check into your school's retake policy. Check to see how the schools you are applying to weigh GPA. Regardless, C's in the sciences are going to make acceptance to nursing school more difficult. If you are able to retake these courses, consider why you did poorly the first time around and develop a plan to do better the next time around. Good luck to you.

I agree with previous posters.you need to talk to programs if you could retake or not.
