I am in California, and am looking into virtually every Associates RN program available in-state. I am willing to go out of state. I don't mind re-taking classes, but many colleges just flat out say they allow only one science repeat, and if you were to repeat again, even if it is for recency and/or a better grade, they will not count it. This means I am disqualified permanently. I did not obtain excellent grades my first time going to college. Microbiology - C, Physiology - B-, Anatomy - D (1st attempt), C (2nd). The majority of schools require either a 2.5 or a 3.0 GPA in science pre-reqs, and only one repeat. If possible, I would want to apply to schools that I do qualify for, and study my past classes on my own as a refresher. I am unsure how to proceed. Should I re-take all of these classes, and submit that to schools I apply to? Ask for permission to apply as an exception? I do not want to give false information, but if I do repeat all the science coursework, then I still technically do not qualify. There is one RN program here. I do not qualify for. I would have to move my entire family near the college I am accepted. I am also unsure if I would be able to get financial aid, as I quit school as a senior at a state college, so I am far over the unit limit. If anyone has any experience with my situation, please let me know. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
