They count everything in your gpa, not just your pre-reqs alone. At my college the associate in health sciences degree is bassically a degree they made up to give people the option to go forth getting when they have all the pre reqs done ...but dont get into the program. So bassically i am finishing up my pre-reqs now and my counselor is pushing for me to get this degree because she doesnt believe ill get in the program. also if you have a degree in the health field when you apply to the program it gives you extra points on your nursing application. If she is right and they look at 12 units as a returning graduate I think that is just because its community college and their standards are lower...

I started at community college over 2 years ago. Well since I got there I havent done great. In fact Ive done terrible. Im getting ready to graduate with an associates in the health sciences. When i graduate I MIGHT have a gpa of 2.75. My college counselor told me I should look into another degree and that I needed to seek other options because there was no way I was getting into my schools nursing program (which I really didnt need her to tell me). I know that I am perfectly capable of doing well in school. Ive had some personal struggles in the last 3 years that got in my way but am in a much better place now. Having told this...My qestion is should I not transfer my records and go to another school and start all over OR go ahead and graduate with this useless health science degree and just keep taking classes and pray I get in someday OR just gohead to LPN school which I was accepted in last year at a vocational school and decided not to go? On an up note my counselor did tell me that if I graduate with this health science degree and then come back and take 12 more college hours they dont really look at your old gpa from the program because I would have completed a degree with that old gpa. That they would look at the new gpa post-completion of a degree. (but I still haft to live with them seeing lingering old bad grades) Opinions please!!!
