I just remembered my first semester in college when I was 17. Due to immaturity, I was left with 2 B's in my honors classes and 2 F's (in unimportant classes).
This unfortunately leaves me with the following stats.
GPA: 3.31 (BSN 4.0) - if it weren't for the first semester with the F's my cum GPA would be 3.45
GRE: 1290 (610 verbal, 680 quant, 4.5 analytical)
Experience: 1.5 years in teaching hospital STICU - 2 yrs at the time the program will start
Certs: CCRN, TNCC, PALS, BLS, ACLS
Charge Nurse/Preceptor
Lots of unit projects
Shadowed CRNA for 3 days.
I considered just not sending the transcript with the F's - but I'm assuming that universities have a way of finding out previous schools. I never did forward this first school's transcripts to any of the other schools I went to so there aren't any transfer credits - but I don't want to risk it for CRNA school. Does anyone know if universities have a way of checking what your previous institutions were?
Any thoughts? Should I take more classes to bring my GPA up? Can I try to get my record expunged?
