Before I go into detail about my dilemma and myself, I would first like to say that all I want is a realistic response. I don't need sugar coating . Be as brutally honest as possible, PLEASE. I just want to know if I will have a realistic chance at making it into a nursing school.
About Myself:
19 yr.
Female
Graduated Highschool : 2011
Went to Saint Mary's College of CA (Freshman): 2011-2012
GPA from SMC: 1:375
Currently at DVC: 2012- ~
GPA from DVC: IN PROGRESS
Background/Current INFO:
I guess I should do some background on how I got my GPA. Well, I basically flunked out of my freshman year of college due to immaturity to recognize I needed help and b/c of a mental illness.
I did average my Freshman Fall Semester. I withdrew from my Chemistry class. I got a C+ in my English course. I got a A- in Seminar class. I got a C in my Calculus 13 class.
In Spring (2012), I failed all my courses.
If you ask how and why? I basically just mentally gave up and was too immature/unmotivated(symptom of illness).
Saint Mary's kicked me out. I repealed the college decision with a medical excuse, but got denied.
I applied to a C.C. and now I am currently here.
I have my illness under control and have matured ALOT since flunking out.
Currently, I am getting an A in Psych 101, B Statistics, A in Nutrition, and B History while working part time.
Next Semester, I am taking Anatomy, Developmental Psych, and Chemistry 108.
Other Info: I have volunteer work from various places. I have volunteered at a hospital during highschool.
DILEMA:
My school counselors for my community college keep telling me I need good grades like a 3.75 and higher. But what they won't answer is if I even have a shot at nursing school with my current gap which is 1.375. I know this is a really bad GPA. I do understand that it is VERY competitive getting into nursing school. Should I just cut my loses and choose another career path?
