I attend Lake Sumter State College. My Prerequisites GPA is a 3.25. I was wondering if I should apply for the Nursing Program. Do you think My GPA is Horrible. To get in you have above a 2.5 or higher. ANY FEEDBACK, PLEASE HELP!!!!! 0 Likes
ICURN3020 Sep 15, 2014 Why would you think that your GPA would be viewed as "horrible"? You obviously are well above the minimum required GPA for nursing school per your post. Is your intent to become a nurse? 0 Likes
cammisha.snelling Sep 15, 2014 Yes, it is my intent to become a nurse. I was just wondering, because I hear around school that they do not accept anyone no lower than a 3.5 which is crazy. 0 Likes
ICURN3020 Sep 15, 2014 I see. That does seem a somewhat high GPA for admission requirements. To my knowledge, it's usually more along the lines of 3.00 or somewhere around there. Is this a highly competitive program? That can make a difference. 0 Likes
cammisha.snelling Sep 15, 2014 Some what it is a competitive program. A class mate of mine got in with a 3.3 so I guess I have a chance to get in also. 0 Likes

gere7404, BSN, RN, EMT-B Specializes in Emergency Services, Cardiac Step-Down. Has 5 years experience. Mar 13, 2016 Depends on the institution. Locally, there's two schools that provide nursing degress; one is an ADN program, the other is a BSN program. Because of costs, way more people apply to the ADN program, which although on paper has a lower requirement to apply, is actually more competitive because so many more people are trying to get a spot there. 0 Likes
