Hello everyone! I have a few concerns as I am going forward with my nursing career. I am currently enrolled in California State University, Sacramento as a pre-nursing student. I am currently a sophomore and am close to finishing all the prereqs for the program. The thing is, is that my university's nursing program is HIGHLY competitive and I am sitting at a 3.8 gpa which is really bad my school goes by a point system so with my gpa I have 37/50 points, I still have to take my teas and my extra points for doing community service but I have a strong feeling it wont be enough. I really want to go my university's nursing program, its considered one of the best in the state but I know i'll be placed on a waitlist and I don't really want to wait around to get into it. I am considering transferring to a different csu because all the prereqs match up at other csus but the problem is I will be applying as a transfer student and I can only apply for fall, that means 400+ applicants will also be applying making my chances of getting in very small.I am even considering out of state (to texas because I have family there) but transferring out of state is a lot of work especially since some prereqs do not match up. Should I just get on my school's waitlist for 1-3 years and stay or transfer out? I am also considering private school such as usf, biola, st marys but it is way too expensive! I could really use advice, my chances into getting into nursing school are very discouraging and it is making me want to change my major

Good luck! I am also considering applying to usf- I am currently going to Sac state but I don't think my chances are very good lol
