Malcolm X City Colleges of Chicago School of Nursing - Fall 2026 Applicants

Published

UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Hi Everyone! As we all know, the Malcolm X Fall 2026 Nursing application opens in just a few weeks. I wanted to start this thread for the ADN & LPN applicants for us to support one another, ask questions, help each other, etc. Some experiences are always better when you have people who can relate to you and help you. Let's all be kind, encouraging, and positive <3. This is a safe space to connect with one another and reach our ultimate goal of being nurses 🦋🩷!

Thanks for creating! Best of luck to everyone!

Something I am personally nervous about is that even though my prereq GPA is good and my ccc GPA is good, I have a bachelor's from years ago I did poorly in. No matter what I do, even with a 3.8 GPA now...once you factor in my first degree, I still fall below a 3.0 after averaging the two. I am above the minimum requirement but not by much. It really stinks to have poor choices made almost a decade ago hold me back now. 

I am wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or knows any stories of people who got in with low stats like that? I have heard mixed things. Some post on here say you need a super high GPA to even be considered, and I have seen other post say people get in just by having the minimum GPA. 

This is the only affordable college in Chicago so if I don't get into malcolm x, I have to move my whole life which would just really stink.

Hopefully they'll be more helpful replies with the application opening soon. Don't count yourself out! You're still in the race, especially since you have at least the minimum requirement.
