Pre-nursing DUD student help, What are my chances of getting into a nursing program?

Published

I would like to know how they calculate your pre-nursing GPA? If you repeated classes, do colleges include that into your GPA for the prerequisite classes? My accumulative GPA for college right now is a 3.13 because I repeated a few classes. I took General Psychology 3 times and got an F the first two times because I was pregnant and could not keep up with the class, I got a 4.0 the third time around. And Developmental Psychology 2 times, 0.0 for the first time while pregnant and a 4.0 the second time. The past two quarters I've gotten a 3.8 grade average and I'm currently getting all above 3.5's in all the sciences. Right now I'm taking Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 and then I'm going to take A&P 2 and Micro in the next 2 quarters and I know I can get above a 3.5. What are my chances? Oh I also have a CNA certificate! Are private schools easier to get into than the state ones because there more expensive?:idea:

okay. yall must definitely be on a different grading system that us, because i have no idea what you mean when you say ill have a 2.8 or a 3.6, do yall do the B+ C- stuff? we dont do that. its strictly a, b, c, d, f. no minus no plus. so i couldnt even tell you what to repeat or not to repeat because i dont know what your grades are. =) so break that down and we will go from there.

As long as you don't flunk out of any sciences course you are fine. Make sure your GPA stays high.

and Yes, though they are more expensive, private university are alot easier to get into.

thank you tinkerbell that is good information to have and a 2.8 is a B and a 3.6 is an A basically a 75% is a 2.0 and anything after that and above is another point up like, 76% is a 2.1, 77% is a 2.2 and so forth anything 95% and above is a 4.0. And we use the percentage to determine the grade!
