    Most programs have a minimum GPA requirement, but that is different from the minimum accepted GPA. I know the program I went through has a minimum GPA requirement of 2.5, but in order for your application to be competitive enough to get in, your GPA needs to be higher than the minimum.

    You might want to look at programs that have points-based admission, so the sole focus isn't GPA. Usually, they factor just your pre-req grades and not overall cumulative GPA.

    In the meantime, you might want to re-take courses with poor grades to raise your GPA and make your application more competitive.

    It isn't just based on your GPA. They determine your entry based on your Hesi or TEAS score. I am in the Detroit area and there are quite a few options here.

    What are a few schools that just take the pre reqs classes and gt a gpa from that. Instead of using my cummalitive gpa?

    I don't know of any schools that base it off just the pre reqs. They base it off your cumulative GPA and test scores. If your GPA is low, I would consider talking to the schools firsthand.

    Lansing Community College does not require an entrance exam or HESI/Teas. They base it off of:

    1. Residency in the community

    2. GPA based on the required pre-reqs only (not cumulative), GPA points on a sliding scale from 2.6 to 4.0, highest points awarded for GPA of 3.88-4.0

    3. Completion of all pre & co reqs before applying

    4. Bonus points for completing Microbiology Lab

    5. Bonus points if all pre-reqs completed at LCC

    6. Completion of CNA, Phlebotomy, EMS or Intro to Health Professions

    7. Bonus points if on alternate list from last year

    However, it's important to realize that the most points are from the pre-req GPA. Here's a link to how they calculate the points: http://lcc.edu/hhs/advising_guides/guides/nursing/nurs-2016-17-rev2-10-16.pdf

    The very last page has a worksheet where you can calculate your points so you know exactly where you stand.

    If your GPA is lower than 3.0, you could see if there are CLEP tests available that could replace your lower grades. The courses you test out of are not even factored into your GPA at all. Really helped me out.
