I am pretty miserable lately. I have always wanted to become a nurse, and my dreams, seems like will never come true. I am 25 years old and I first started to get into a community college nursing program, but the waiting lists were just too long. Now I am attending Southern illinois university of Edwardsville. Their acceptance is bases of first semester class grades, GPA for that semester and then all together gpa. Which sucks because I have always been a B student. My first semester grades are these: Human Biology= A Organic Chemistry I= B Chemistry Lab= A English 101= A Psychology= B Speech= B I have retaken biology to get the A (up from a C) and I retook the chemistry to get the B (up from a D) I retook english 101 to get an A (up from a B) well anyways my overrall gpa for that semester is 3.44 for all semesters combined its a 3.34 I emailed my nursing advisor the min gpa for first semester only two years ago was 3.1 and last year was a 3.4 My school changed from accpeting 150 every fall and no spring to 100 fall and 100 spring. and they have already started a direct acceptance for some students directly from highschool which sucks. I dont find out if i get in until april/may. The schools around me do point systems and its based on first trys only so i really dont know what to do. I just dont think the odds are in my favor. Any advice?
