Low GPA acceptance - Holy Family/Drexel/Gwynedd Mercy

[KCarb]

I have a 2.61 GPA and applied to Holy Family, Drexel, and Gwynedd Mercy for Fall 15 FT BSN program. Any advice on my chances of getting in? Thanks!

Hey I also applied to Drexel for fall of 2015! I was accept in December. I was also accepted to thomas jefferson university and I am debating which school I want to go to. I will be transferring in as either a sophmore or a junior. I think all three of those schools require a gpa of 3.0. However, it can't hurt to apply! Have you done any community service or volunteer work in a hospital that would possibly make you stand out and compensate for your gpa? Good luck!

I'm in HFU nursing program and they wouldn't accept any student below 3.0 GPA. However, it depends on your transcript and reference letter.

I'm pretty sure Drexel is a minimum 3.0 GPA and Gwynedd, too... What did you apply with the compensate for your GPA?

abington memorial hospital dixon school of nursing is 2.5 gpa i believe for regular decision. get at it! also drexel u requires a 3.0 in sciences which is a letter grade of a b. so just as long as your sciences are good that is also worth a shot.
