Hello Joanna.

All CUNY schools have a very competitive program. In order to enter their program you need to have at least 3.7+GPA in all the pre-requisites. However, even with that high GPA, it's still not 100% guaranteed. I go to LAGCC which is very similar to KBCC and their cutoff last semester for the nursing-RN was 3.6 if I'm not mistaken. You just have to ace all the pre-requisites then you're definitely IN!

About the minimum, I believe they're just putting such so that other students wouldn't get discourage if they get a B, thus the school gets more money for letting students continue even it's a guarantee that they're not getting in. I've read an article written by a CUNY student, where he mentioned that out of 500 applicants for nursing only 40 students are being accepted. Not even 10%. BS I know.

If I were you, I'd take all my pre-requisites and ace all of em! or rather if you're done with the pre-reqs and doesn't have an excellent GPA(3.8+), move to SUNY or a private school where there's no waiting list but that's just me.

If you have the brains for straight As then I say go to any CUNY school (KBCC as you mentioned)

Good luck! Hope I helped. :)
