Thank you. I still have to take the TEAS test as well. The main concern of mine is that I have read where some people with my gpa and lower have a hard time getting in. Granted I know they will be focusing most of the analysis on the core/science classes... just wanted to get your input on this and see how your gpa was towards getting accepted. There are two programs I am looking at right now, one offered by TCC, and UTA. there is a huge price difference, which of course thats what you get when you go to a university and people tell me try not to worry so much about the price right now, and just make sure I study hard, get good grades, and actually LEARN what is meant to be learned. And once licensed I then can worry about paying off the loans. My goal is to become either an FNP or ACNP. I really want to make sure I am doing the right thing and I am hoping that these 3 b's and 1 c does not kill my chance of getting accepted. These nursing programs are highly competitive.

Right now I am working on my bsn prereqs and basically have a huge majority out of the way. The only issue I am facing right now is that after this semester my gpa went from a 3.7 down to a 3.47. I still have chem, micro, algebra, and statistics to take. I listed all my courses that I have taken so far and my grades. Do you think they will hurt me from getting accepted? Due to personal issues I had to drop chem twice, and this summer I am taking chem over and my goal is to make an A. What is your take on this? Do I have hope?
