Hello, I am a 23 year old male pre-nursing student in California. I keep hearing that one needs straight A's in all their pre-nursing courses to have any chances of getting into a nursing school. Is this true? I am a little worried, since although I have A's in all my prerequisite courses(nutri, psych, stats, etc) it seems like I will attain B's in my Bioscience courses. Im in Microbiology now with a B, and yet to take anatomy and physiology in spring/summer. Did anyone here get into a nursing program- adn/bsn in California with B's in their Bioscience courses? Usually I hear that only 1/3 classes can be B, but 2 should be A's to realistically have a chance of getting into a program. I am not picky and will go to any CC or state school that accepts me. Please do not comment if you got into a private school and do not recommend either. I cannot take out loans due to religious reasons. I am specifically asking for those who got into state schools or community colleges. I do have extracurricular experiences: I am employed as a caregiver and will be volunteering in a hospital by next semester. By summer I'll be CNA certified. Those who got in can you tell me how was your Bioscience grades and how many times did you apply, if you were waitlisted how long were you waitlisted for?
Thank you, I truly appreciate those who comment and give me some insight.
