So a quick background on me. . . . I have an associates and a bachelors degree in accounting. I have been in the field for 6 years and see that I am getting nowhere in my career and have decided to go back to my original desired career path in nursing.
I will be attending CCAC Allegheny Campus in the summer to take the only prereq I need (Bio 110) and HG&D. I have most of the co-reqs done (English Comp 1 & 2, Intro to Psyc, Math Elective, and Humanities Elective) except the important ones (A&P 1&2 and Microbiology). I plan on taking A&P 1 and Microbiology in the Fall 2013. Ideally, I would like to apply for (and get into) Spring 2014. I would then take A&P 2 in Summer 2014.
My GPA from the associates degree is 3.3 and I have a 2.82 from my bachelors so I have a 3.06 average GPA. If I get a 4.0 in the summer then my average GPA is 3.37.
Does the powers that be on the selection committee hold GPA as most important over everything else? Do they even take inconsideration if you have any of the coreqs done (besides A&P 1&2 and Micro) Do I have a chance at getting in the Spring 2014 program with a 3.37 or should I wait and apply for Fall 2014 after I have the "bonus" GPA points from A&P and Micro?
