Hello all, I've been reading posts on this website for a couple of months now and decided to finally make an account. I'm currently in a predicament and would like anyone's help on what to do. Back when I started college, I was a dumb teenager who didn't take anything seriously. Long story short, I've brought my grades out of the dump now and have learned my lesson. However, I'm now worrying about my potential to be accepted. I am planning on applying for the Valencia Nursing Traditional Track (requires 3.0 overall GPA) and/or the Seminole State College traditional track (which requires a overall GPA of 2.5.) My nursing pre-req (A&P 1 and 2, Microbio, Nutrition, etc) GPA meets for Seminole but I’m scared i won’t get in since so competitive, then with Valencia i got a C in microbiology which messes me up for Valencia with the 3.0 science requirement. Has anyone else been in a similar situation where your "Overall GPA" wasn't very attractive, but your science GPA was decent? How did you get accepted into your program? I should point out that in FL, courses that you've received a "C" in cannot be retaken as it's technically "passing." I need help!
