Hi @jianying wang my GPA overall is 3.3, they calculate all your science classes and for that my GPA is 3.5. As long as you have a C and better in your pre-requisite classes you will be fine. Hopefully this helps, don't stress so much and I recommend meeting with a counselor. Good luck with everything 🌸

Thanks for your response Sahiba.

can I know how much experience you have in healthcare?

Yes! I called IT and reported the issue. It is a scam. Do not click on the link and if you already have, please reset your passwords!

Hello everyone,

I'm applying for the Fall 2025 ABSN program. Is it possible to get accepted with a GPA in the range of 3.7-3.8? I also have some volunteer experience at a hospital. I'm feeling so stressed

I think you'll definitely get accepted! Don't stress, stay positive and focus on getting amazing essays written! Your GPA is better than mine and I was able to get accepted first time applying to this program. You got this!
