NY ABSN Applicant GPA Advice

[absnapplicant21]

Hello,

So I'm finishing my 4th year of college RN and I'm set to graduate with a cummulative 3.01 and a 3.65 pre req GPA.

Since I'm taking a gap semester before I apply for an ABSN program I was wonering if it's worth taking about 5 classes through either a community college or portage learning just to bump up my pre req GPA to about a 3.1.

Another question I have is wether you think I should take the TEAS exam.

For reference I live in southern NY and will be applying to there programs
