You definitely have a chance. Admission boards look at the whole picture and if you explain it in the personal statement, they will most likely understand that the low GPA was from all those years ago

The only one I know of is APU, but I did not look into other ones. You're going to have to do your own research and look at each individual program's admission requirements page to see if they will consider applicants under 3.0. What you can do to boost your chances is score VERY good on the GRE (which will only help you with schools that require GRE), get healthcare experience (EMT, phlebotomy, CNA, etc), volunteer, more than 1 language, great personal statement, great rec letters, etc. Basically, any other factor that they will consider, you must excel in to compensate for your low GPA. Another route you can go to is the physician assistant route. I know a lot consider applicants as low as 2.5, however those programs usually require a significant amount of healthcare experience. And no, you will not find any online programs for direct entry.

No, it does not matter where you took your prereqs or which school you went to.

Oh nevermind, I see what you mean. Oh gosh I missed a lot of facebook messages lol.

Hey supernerd, I didn't get any facebook messages or friend requests. Are you sure you added the right person? I made the APU ELM summer 2014 page open so anyone can join it because someone else was also having trouble finding it. Send me a PM on this site if youre still having trouble.

i sent you a private message that should link you to it

You can search APU ELM main campus summer 2014, and it should come up. PM me if you have trouble finding it

have you looked into samuel merritt's master's entry program?

I got into Azusa Pacific University's direct entry FNP program in California with a 3.15 GPA , 1 yr of EMT, and a lot of volunteer experience, so I'm sure you'll be ok. APU was the only program I applied to. I was also informed by the interviewer that because I was a minority (male), that it gave me a better chance at getting in.

Is there anyone who has opened their own clinic that can give me an idea on how difficult it is to do so? How long were you in the planning stage before you opened one? What kind of experience did you have before doing so? How much did it cost? Pros? Cons? Any advice? Any information would be helpful!

I was accepted into Azusa Pacific University's direct entry FNP program. They don't offer a ACNP specialty at that university. Does anyone know how long it would take for to complete a post-masters in ACNP?

I was just accepted into a direct entry FNP program, but I previously thought that FNP's can work in hospital settings too, not just primary care. Now I'm looking through the forums and I'm getting the impression that it is becoming less and less common for a FNP to work in the hospital. Should I have gone into ACNP and is there a hope for me to work in the hospital?

Hi, I was just accepted into an FNP program and was wondering if I'd be able to work in the ER as an FNP or must I be an ACNP? I live in California.
