Hey. Everyone any advice on this topic would be good. LOW GPA, want to go nursing school. 
 

I’m interested in going to nursing school in new York to do a bachelors degree. Does anyone know any schools that accept a low  GPA ? I’ve been researching and I realized that some schools look at specific subjects that you should have a particular GPA in or they look at your overall GPA ? My overall GPA is around 3.0- 3.3 but for the certain prerequisites for: Chemistry and maths my GPA is not really high, like 2.3-2.7. I’m really passionate for nursing. Could someone help me out my telling me the name of schools that would consider me or accept me. I regret not being more focused in school sigh ?. Also, I’m currently studying for the ATI TEAS, which most schools look at, I’m pretty confident I will do really good on it. So does anyone know schools that heavily look at the ATI TEAS and not so much of your GPA. Any advice information would be good please

Hello! 

I'm not familiar with specific schools that fall under looking at TEAS more than GPA. However, most if not all schools take your entire application into consideration. If you have okay grades and a great TEAS score and a great essay, you might have a chance getting into the school you want. However, I would recommend getting an "A" in anatomy, physiology and biology to put you in a better position to get in since those classes tend to be focused on the most. Asking the admissions directly can give you an idea of what to focus on, too.  

Personally, I didn't do too good in science or have a good GPA either. I took extra classes to boost my undergrad GPA and try to average out my low science GPA with a higher one. It took me longer than I wanted, but looking back, it was worth it. I also know some classmates who graduated and worked as an LVN or CNA first and then came to school for their RN license. Where you want to go and how long you can and are willing to wait will be up to you. Good luck!

Thank you so much. I’ll definitely try to do that. I’m applying to as many schools as I can. May I ask which school you attended ?
