previous nursing student.... need some advice!!

Published

I was a nursing student at BCTC but I had to juggle with work a baby and school and unfortunately did not make it past the first semester. As you can imagine with the class being a 9 credit hour class it dropped my gpa to a 2.6. I got in the nursing program with a 3.7, so now I'm struggling to get my GPA up enough so that they can at least consider me. The problem is that even if I take 5 classes this fall and 5 in the spring and 3 in the summer I'll only get my GPA up to like a 3.3 or 3.4 and I don't know wether that will be enough. I know that to consider you you have to have at least a 3.0. i wanted to know what is the lowest GPA that someone has gotten into the nursing program. Could the put me in the waiting list with a 3.4???? :confused:
