Now is that in cum. gpa or Pre-nursing req gpa? Hopefully it is the later. (I currently have a 3.05 gpa overall and a 3.59 gpa in pre-reqs...! Anyone know?

If you don't mind me asking... what was your gpa and teas scores? Did you volunteer? (thank you so much, I really REALLY appreciate it!) :)

Reposting this from another post... (wrong area) Hello everyone! After a long battle of getting my grades up, and getting my prereqs... I am finally getting close to applying to SDSU. My stats: CUM GPA 3.20 (poor student in the beginning, took 2 years to get it this high) Cum GPA 3.75 (last 60 units) Pre req GPA 3.45 Volunteer 100+ hours Teas (no score yet, but studying like crazy) Now, can anyone please help me, by posting their gpa when they transfered to SDSU? our my stats too low? I've gone this far, and I dont want to give up... but, is it just not gonna happen???? Any help is sooooooooooooo much appreciated!

Thanks For getting back to me... I am so nervous!

Thanks... I guess my next question is the study material. I can ACE my premed classes no matter how tough they are... Time/Dedication, Reading the material, exercising the ideas, comprehension rather then memorization.... and all the above. (I was a crappy student before, learned anything can be achieved and turned a 2.0 GPA into a 3.2, and rising) (Basically 1-2years of C-Bs and another 2 years of A's) Which I will Continue My 'A' progression through my BS. Anyways, back to the question... If I ace my Premed classes, study around that 'scope' get study material mixed with TIME. would I be prepared for the MCAT? OR does the MCAT require more learning like a BS in Biology/Chemistry rather than a BSN, which looks like the major consist of 'specific' nursing classes that does not deal with Biology nor Chemistry as a major.

I think you are saying 'not' to rush.... And, like you said just aim for 1 thing, once I hit it, then get the next. (And that is my delimma. I want to do 1 goal at a time, that was my intention, but I keep thinking that I Am 26.... By the time I am 29 I'll have my BSN. Which another 1-2 for premed 32.... Is 40 to old get your MD?

First things first... A big thank you to everyone that is posting on this board. I have been lurking around this forum for the past 3-4 months; reading and re-reading post after post. And, the tid-bits of knowledge I have gained, regarded what 'eductionally' is needed to become a nurse, is largely because of you (and assist.org).:bowingpur Anyways, about me. I am 26 yrs old and I have my A.S in Psychology. My original plan was to transfer into SDSU for Psych, but I switched majors after I completed my A.S with hopes of Med School. However, I need a B.A/B.S in something first, in addition to the 2 semesters each of; Bio, Chem, Organic Chem, and Physics ... not to mention 1 semester of Calc. So I decided to go the BSN route for my BS... Currently (since I have my A.S. in Psych) all I have LEFT for the SDSU BSN transfer is Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology. (I have taken Chem 101 w/lab (received A), Biology 107 w/lab (received A) and Child Development (received A). In other words Fall semester 12/09 I will have completed my pre-nursing requirements. I go to orientation for Volunteer at UCSD medical March 16th to start my volunteer hours. My question is probably much like others... So I'll have some extra room for some classes before I hit SDSU. I am thinking I take my 2 semester of Physics. Then while in the BSN program pick up a bio here and a chem their, so by the time I get out, i'll only have 2 semester left of pre-med, then hit medschool. (within that year I'll study for my MCAT, and I will study for the whole year.... I am really loyal like that, and I know what I want) Anyways, I understand that the nursing field and medicine are two totally different monsters. But, I imagine that (yes it might take me a year longer) at least with nursing I will get a taste of clinicals and the health profession. Anyways, Are their RN to MDs here? Should I just go another route? Biology? And IF I did and Didn't get into Med School would I have something to fall back on? Which I Imagine nursing would a more stable degree/career while I do pre-med. Anyways, I hope I don't get flamed :angryfire for saying that since I WANT to go into medicine, but thinking of BSN as a counter measure (just in case) so I don't get a degree in Biology that I might not be able to use. (To some might sound like I am not 100% dedicated in going into medicine, which YOUR RIGHT im not... I am 120% dedicated.)
