My BA is in Clinical Physiology, D's were not accepted, which I had one and with retaking the course moved it up to a C+. I have debated retaking classes, but I have heard that programs do not take the better grade,or average the classes which may not increase your GPA very much, so it's time/money wasted. Does already having a BA of Science help at all, or will the application committee still only look at my low GPA, and solely decide off the numbers, you think?

Ok and it looks like you are in Florida... hmm thats way better in my opinion, because your strong classes help with your weak ones... Thanks for the insight!

Thats the GPA for the "Nursing GPA" so i would venture to say yes.

I have been trying to apply to nursing programs in Washington State, I applied during my final quarter of my first BA. At the time i was finishing my internship, while taking Microbiology and Organic Chem. Upon not receiving an interview, I withdrew from Micro in an attempt to get a better grade in Organic and to complete graduation. I am now working to reapply, My GPA for a BA was a 3.4, but they are now saying my true nursing GPA is only a 2.9, is this true for other states? Also i am looking at retaking my Teas test to get a better score to raise my chances at acceptance. Does anyone have any other suggestions of getting into nursing school? I am taking both Micro and Medical Terminology (not required) trying to be over qualified, But I'm worried it still will not be enough.
