Hello.. I am going to be applying to Molloy's nursing program but I have a few questions! I am currently taking some pre reqs but my grades are not that great. I have a C+ in A&P1 and a D+ in A&P2 and my GPA right now is 2.8. Should I wait to even apply until i get my GPA up?
Has anyone been through this that can answer my questions.
Thank you

I would wait. Molloy is a reputable school but as you know up-there expensive.
I'm not sure where you are with the prerequisites but if your taking them at nearby Nassau Community College I would stay there and pay a fraction of tuition cost at Molloy.
I think you've got to get your grades up some to be as competitive as possible and broaden your chances in the educational marketplace.
NCC had or has a great AD program you may consider. (competitive too)
The way I see it is that if you have to pay 100k to go to nursing school, unless you have a trust fund, it's doesn't bode well for your economic future. You might be a nurse but you're going to be a broke nurse paying off those loans forever.
Do this thing as cheaply as possible.
