Should I retake? ABSN chances..

Published

Hey everyone,

I just graduated from UConn with a non-nursing degree and have been looking into many ABSN programs. My main concern is my grades. I graduated with a 3.3 since I hadn't developed efficient study habits early on and also went through a bit of a tough time personally junior year. I've listed my pre-req grades below. Do you think I should retake anything to increase my chances?

A & P 1: B

A & P 2: A

Chem 1 and 2: C+

Biology 1: B-

Stats: B-

Psych 1: B

Research Methods: A

Human Development: Not taken

Microbio: Not taken

Genetics: Not taken

Most of the pre-reqs were taken early in my undergraduate career. I know I can ace the last three left to take. If it helps, I've held employment all four years ranging from retail, administrative work, to being a Resident Assistant. On top of that I've also engaged in a few leadership positions on campus. Lastly, I have patient contact experience through a substance abuse clinic (not CNA or PCA experience).

Thanks for your help in advance!

I wouldnt retake any classes just yet. Finish up your prerequisites, apply to a couple of programs and see if you get accepted. If you DONT, then retake the chem classes.
