I'm getting ready to apply to a local ADN program and I know how competitive it is and GPAs need to be around 3.4. My highschool GPA was a 3.9, but I struggled early in college and I only got a 2.85! Now I don't think this would automatically disqualify me from the nursing program, especially if I ace my pre-reqs, but what If I applied to the program and just never disclosed my college experience and therefore would not have to provide my grades? I know this sounds kinda devious, but is it? Or would I be better off just writting a letter explaining that I'm more than just a GPA and try to make myself a better candidate in other ways like volunteer experience, references, etc (which I plan to do anyway)? Thanks for any input.
