Is my GPA competitive enough?

[dsingh24]

Hello everyone, I'm currently a student at San Jose State University. I've completed half of my prereq's so far

-prereq GPA: 3.58

-overall GPA: 3.78

-I have not yet taken the TEAS

I've seen a lot of people post about what their GPA was before applying to nursing school and I'm honestly really scared. In most of the posts I've seen, people have stated they attained a 3.9 or a 4.0 GPA. I'm looking to apply to as many csu's as possible (csueb, sfsu, sjsu, etc). I still have a couple more prereq's to take, but as of now, if I were to apply to a csu nursing school, would I have a good chance of getting in w/ my GPA? And if so, which nursing schools do you recommend me applying to. If not, what other actions should I take to become a registered nurse (go overseas, apply to private schools, etc)? Thank you.

I can tell you at Cal State San Bernardino the lowest GPA in the class that starts next month is a 3.88. Its bananas.

The problem with SoCal is that all of the schools have really long waiting lists!

I actually moved to Socal from Norcal because I got into a program here first. I was accepted into some others but they take their classes by lottery. Its horrible everywhere. My advice is apply everywhere and be flexible enough to move.
