    Can I reset my gpa if I never went to a community college before?

    springchick1 replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in New York Nursing

    Then why get your RN degree if you are going to try to go to med school? If you struggled that much with school, you may want to rethink things. You don't want to end up further in debt and not be...
