Old transcripts bringing me down

[jogropal]

I am driven to get into a BSN program. Realistically I have a low chance of getting into a CSU, although I will be applying to CSUCI and CSUEB.

The problem is my cumulative gpa is very low (~2.7) due to older SDSU transcripts. Most schools require a minimum of 3.0 cumulative gpa.

Any suggestions for BSN programs?

I was disqualified at SDSU after 3 semesters 4 years ago. Received a 1.29 gpa. I was naive and completely caught up in the social aspect of the school and this transcript haunts me.

Now I have a 3.55 gpa at community college and I have completed micro, anatomy, physiology, and chem with all A's.

I work for a chiropractor and have patient interaction, but it may or may not be considered health care work experience.

Got 88.7% on the TEAS

Can you take more classes at community college to try and raise that GPA even more? I think right now your chances for a CSU are iffy. How long ago was SDSU?

I attended SDSU 2012- 2013. The problem is I really don't have more classes to take. I have about 80 units at the community college. And I looked into some private institutions but many also have a minimum gpa requirement of 3.0 . I am thinking I am barely competitive for applying to community colleges for RN programs... I am also thinking I might have to go out of state?
