10. Do W's on your transcript affect you getting into nursing school?

    docBB replied to Stella36's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had W's in the heavy hitter classes of ego and physics and genetics (LOL @ premed dreams), and at first, the academic adviser counted them as 0.0 in a GPA calculation, which as you can imagine, would drop a GPA considerably. This was crushing becau...
