Question?!

]Ok so here my scenario: I will be graduating from a LPN program in 4 months. I also have been working as a LNA for the past six years. At that point I'm planning on applying to a LPN to BSN program.

My GPA Is great, all A's and high B's. I have taken many other classes from another college. I've gotten a few good grades but mostly C's. so my GPA at that college is poor. But still the classes are transferable.

My dilemma is that the college I'm applying to would like a 3.5 GPA. When choosing people into the program they do it like in a tier system. Anyone with around a 3.5 moves on to the next tier, then anyone with the classes move on to the next tier, and then they look at your résumé from there.

Should I apply with just my current schools transcripts showing a high GPA and if I get into the program send in my other transcripts after? So upon deciding if I get in, they will see high GPA but no additional classes. OR should I send in all transcripts. Which will show low GPA at the other classes. Is this making sense??!!

Don't you have to submit all transcripts? If it were me I'd do all transcripts to show I have the classes. IMO showing them after is deceiving.

Schools require that you send all transcripts from any post-secondary college/university you've attended. Failure to do so in most schools can be grounds for dismissal.

You asked this very same question on the other Nursing Student Assistance forum. Your answers there were pretty definitive.Here's mine again:

No. If I understand you correctly, you mean to apply with your "better" transcript and then show them the "worse" one.

If you apply with a partial ("better") academic record and they accept you based on that, then they will slot you in to take the courses that don't appear on it. You can't then say, "Oh, I took those already, got a C+, see here?" They will NOT like that, esp. if they accepted you over someone who got better grades in those already.

You can't have it both ways.

You don't actually have a choice. They'll request all transcripts, and won't admit you without them. If for some reason you get away with it, it's a violation of rules and if it catches up to you....you're pretty much screwed.
