Are you referring to the GRE?

I fear this is how they see me. Unfortunately, I have never given school my honest, best shot a 100% of the time. When I have, I make great grades. I just don't do well with having to work, juggle friends and family, and school all at the same time. Too many distractions to be honest; which is why I'm applying out of state. And the fact that I CAN'T work while in CRNA school, coupled with the fact I have saved so much money to go to CRNA school, is also one of many reasons I want to go to CRNA school. But I think a lot of you are correct - I need to take some graduate level courses and ace them.

I’m worried it will make me look worse once I take it.

I have a 3.01 cumulative GPA across two degrees. My BSN GPA was a 3.27. I have my CCRN and 4 years of ICU experience. I have applied to one school and have been rejected, no interview. I have a B in Organic Chemistry after receiving a C the first time I took it. I am avoiding the GRE. It seems everyone who does apply has a far greater GPA than I do. Also, when I read these posts, a lot of people also have higher GPAs than me when accepted. Am I out of my league? Should I even keep applying?
