Low GPA, Any hope of getting into Chamberlain's BSN?

Published

When I first started college, I failed my first two terms and it ruined my GPA. Since then I have been trying to get it up as much as possible. It is now a 2.3. I have been studying for my HESI like crazy and hoping to do really well on it. I have a phone call with an advisor from Chamberlain tomorrow. It says online a 2.75 is required but students can still apply and submit more information to the committee to try and still get in. Do you think I have a chance? I'm so mad at myself for ruining my GPA when I was young.

Hello, I have a 2.3 GPA now and I am hoping to at least make a 2.5 GPA by the end of my current semester. I wish I could send you a private message to ask you more questions. The questions I do have was how did you do on your HESI? Did you work full time while in school? I am also trying to figure out with chamberlains program should I still work and do the day program. Or should I just only focus on school?

Sorry for the late update. Yes I did get in. I submitted two transcripts from different schools, the first transcript I had a 2.3 GPA and the second (more recent) transcript I had a 3.5 GPA. I explained in the passion into purpose essay why I had a terrible GPA at the first school. 
 

the chamberlain I applied for had a 2.75 GPA requirement for admission and I still got in

What were the requirements and did they let you in based on your essay?
