Hi all I have a degree from I.U.P.U.I in communication (BA) unfortunately I have a low GPA 2.3 I was wondering if anyone knew any nursing programs that did not go by the GPA? Also, has anyone ever attended Medtech college they have a ASN it is costly, but it sounds like a good op for me since I really messed up. Any advice welcomed thanks

You may want to go to the Indianapolis forum where there are threads on this topic already. Pros and cons for why not to go to MedTech.

Im not from IN but I know a lot of nursing programs go by a point system. They only calculate points for the prereques that you need to get accepted into the RN program. For instance, an A in Anatomy and Physiology is worth 4 points, Anatomy and physiology is worth 4 credits so 4x4= 16 points. They add them all up and the higher you points the more likely you are to be accepted. Just do your homework and Im sure you'll find something

I'm currently attending one of the BSN programs at one of the Indiana Universities and they do go by GPA. They take your "nursing" GPA into account to see if you qualify compared to the other students applying and your cumulative GPA must be at least a 2.5. Of course though you don't just jump into the nursing program you must first take the prerequisites that are required to apply to the nursing program and so maybe you could bring up your GPA that way (by taking the prerequisites and getting good grades). But at something like Ivy Tech Community College they do have some type of point system, I don't know the specifics of it, but like IU you must take prerequisites before you're able to apply - also, there's tests to take to get in the program as well. Ivy Tech would probably be something to check into - they have a lot of campuses.
