SPC Nursing Fall 2012

Published

Finishing pre reqs with Microbiology this semester. I will be applying for Fall 2012. I'm glad they changed the application process so I can apply after the semester is over. I'll have a 3.9 GPA so long as I get A's in Micro. I hope I can get in, its been a long journey to get here...

Does anyone know if the computer class counts toward your GPA? When I seen a counselor my GPA was a few points lower then when I used the GPA calculator. The only thing I could think of was I have a B in microcomputer applications.

Here's what my email said

The applicant

pool consisted of five hundred forty applicants and was very competitive. The

average grade point average for those selected was a 3.88 which includes an

average of 30 of the 30 general education and support course credits from the

nursing curriculum completed.

Interesting. Thanks for posting! I am going to see an adviser on Monday.

As far as I know the computer class does not count, but I tested out for it.

I have a previous 4yr degree from UF. I currently have all my prerequisites completed with a 3.88 GPA. Ten yrs as a first responder and I only got an alternate position. I'm so disappointed!!!

Did you get to talk to an advisor?

I did, thanks for asking! :)

The advisors said that the lowest gpa that got in was a 3.75. Apparently MY issues was retaking speech. I was retaking to bump my b to an a and bring it to a 4.0. When I started getting B's on my speeches I saw no point in retaking, spoke with an advisor who gave me the go ahead to drop and dropped the class.

...tecnically my speech grade is now a "w", which the head advisor is looking into to see if that is technically a grade. If it is not, they are saving a place for me. If it is AND I happen to get in via the alternate position, I will have to retake speech at some point before I graduate. If my alt number isn't "pulled" I get to try again for spring, although my chances are still reduced if I havent "finished" the class.

Pretty much it is continue to wait and see, I may not get a response until the first week of class, but the head advisor said that "things are looking pretty good". I should hear if they are going to accept my b grade in speech within a week.

Are you a pinellas county resident? If I get an B in my micro class and an A in lab I'll have a 3.8. I'm worried about getting accepted in the spring now!

This is just my opinion, but if I were you I wouldn't worry to much about spring. I know every semester is different but spring semester is pretty well known for having a lower average gpa than fall. Last spring the average was 3.66, if I remember correctly.

You would actually have a much better chance than I would, even though I have a 3.9, as you have more points due to having all classes completed!

Personally, I think you will be fine! :)
