Hello! I am feeling really scared I will not get into schools because my overall GPA I just graduated with is a 2.87. I also took classes when I studied abroad which I got almost all C's in. (im not sure if they will care about that) Every single school says 3.0 or higher and I know of people that have gotten denied for being below that. I am taking pre-requisites now and hope to just get A's in those (nutrition, A+P, micro) but even if I did, I feel like I still will get denied because of how competitive it is. I am also trying to become a CNA to boost my resume. Does anyone know of people that got into Direct entry (or accelerated BSN) with a lower GPA??? Please help!!! Do I only have a shot if I apply to a BSN first?
