Low undergrad GPA and MBA 3.3

[Den1978]

Hello everyone:

I am have 2.9 undergrad BS in Business and 3.3 MBA. I taking Chemistry 1 and Biology w/lab now. I am planning on finishing most of my pre-reqs by the end of this year. What options do I have? I want to apply to so many schools however, I notice the strict gpa ideals. Any pointers. I am looking for schools in the NE or SE part of the Country.

Thanks so much!:redbeathe:heartbeat

thanks @itsjilarious

i just took a quick look at the "admission criteria" or method or w/e step 6 was in the pdf and noticed it said gpa, common pre req gpa and teas program percintile rank. My program percentile rank was 90 or 91%... 2.9 cum gpa and a 3.67 common pre req gpa... its so weird because my science/common pre req are so high for schools and my cum sucks (I switched majors a long time ago...)

*edit*

6. How is admission to the BSN program determined?

Admission to the program is based on GPA, grades of science prerequisites and, entrance exam scores (TEAS).

pulled that straight off their website

unc chapel hill has a great absn program and requires a 3.0 cumulative gpa.

second-degree students:

students who have completed a bachelor's degree in a subject other than nursing may pursue admission to the b.s.n. option (six semesters) or the more accelerated and intensive a.b.s.n. option (four semesters) for completing the degree. second degree students will have 60 credit hours from their previous degree counted toward the b.s.n. these students have to complete (or verify completion as part of their previous degree) only six courses from the lower-division requirements (biol 252, mcro 251 or 255, phyi 202, psyc 101, stor 151, and a u.s. diversity or global issues connections course).

admission criteria:

admission to the school of nursing is very competitive. the minimum cumulative grade point average for admission to the b.s.n. option is a 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and the minimum cumulative grade point average for the a.b.s.n. option is a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. all applicants seeking admission as second degree students must have earned the first degree prior to submitting the nursing application. applicants must be eligible to return to all institutions previously attended. admissions committee review is as described previously.

application:

applications may be submitted for either spring (january) or summer (may) matriculation. the application link, instructions, deadlines, and decision timeframe can be found on the school of nursing web site at nursing.unc.edu/admissions/application.html.
