Hi All, I am working on my way to apply for the Direct Entry Program (Fall '07). After reading the posts here, i am very worried about my chances of getting into my top choices of program. I have a GPA of 3.0 (have 20 more units waiting to be finished) and GRE 780m, 510v, 4.5awa. Due to family issues, i had to flight out of country serveral times one year ago...and that kinda screwed up my grades (with Ds and Fs showing on my transcript). Are the schools going to look at my application even?? I have been working (per diem) in a hospital as a PT aide for 4 years, and in an outpatient clinic for 1 year. I also volunteer at different organizations. Also, I do research on campus. Although it seems like I have been doing a lot...I am still afraid that my GPA will hurt me when i apply... Besides, will the schools value my PT aide expereinces? Do I need to look for more nursing-related experiences before I apply? I have heard that visiting the program/campus may not always be the best thing to do....maybe i will give the people bad impression...is it true? PLEASE give me advices....i am really really worried:crying2:
