GRE vs GPA

GRE: 148Verbal 152Math 3.0writing

GPA: 3.2 Nursing 3.12 Undergrad.

Simply, I want to increase my chances of getting into graduate school.

I took one graduate level course in research statistics and received an A, giving me a graduate GPA of 4.0. I want to take another graduate coorifice (I feel a 4.0 GPA from one class will not be taken serious) but my husband feels that I should save the money for when I do get accepted in to a CRNA program and just focus on scoring higher on the GRE. I know doing both at the same time is an option but expensive just the same.

I just wanted to get some people opinions.

Like stated above, you can increase your chances with a stronger GRE, not your GPA. If you can take more master level classes it would only help though I can't speak for efficiency in costs.

I'd say GPA > GRE. Some schools are doing away with GRE requirements. Some want CCRN and not GRE. Also depends on what the school's requirement is for minimum GRE scores.

Thank for the advice. I have my CCRN already. But when it comes to schools that currently do not require the GRE many of them require that your GPA higher then 3.2 or 3.5.
