That's a good point. I had not read anything about having to retake chemistry classes if there has been too long of a time gap. Some of the websites said "The credits are never too old, and they do not outdate", are chemistry classes an exceptionto this rule? Thanks for all the input!

I will be graduating this year with a degree in Exercise Science and wish to pursue a career in nursing. My first two years of college I lacked focus which caused my GPA to suffer leaving me with a 3.0 at the moment. Since I have such a low GPA the only accelerated BSN programs I can see myself getting into are out of state (I live in Florida) and very expensive. Drexel is the main school I think I would be able to get into which costs around $32,000. Another option is going to community college for an ADN which would only be around $7,000. If I got an ADN and went on to pursue a BSN would any of my previous degree work transfer over, and how many extra classes would I need? Any input would be greatly appreciated since I am not sure of all of my options.

my gpa right now is a 2.94... im taking organic 2 and the organic lab this summer which should put me at a 3.0 since I plan on getting A's in both and then i have my last year to hopefully get up to a 3.1-3.2.. I guess I'll apply before I retake the two courses since I have taken advanced level (biochem,organic,metabolism) and scored well; do you think they'll pay any attention to these classes??? Thankyou so much for your reply

Hey, I plan on beginning to apply to accelerated BSN programs soon but am worried about my gpa. By the time I graduate I will have over a 3.0 (prolly near a 3.1) due to lack of effort in my earlier years of college. I am an exercise science major and took most of the prereqs for nursing in my first two years (chem1=B bio1=C bio2=A chem2=c). I was wondering if schools will take into account that I am doing well and getting over a 3.0 every semester now beggining jr year. I also wanted to know if they will look at advanced classes like metab1+2, organic1+2 and biochem and weigh that in with my lower prereqs? Any advice you could offer this worried student would be amazing - Dustin also my low gpa is mainly from getting a D- and C in precalc (not a fan of math) and FSU does not give grade forgiveness
