Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

Published

I was wondering what the GPA of the average student applying to an accelerated program is. Mine is 3.6. Is this good? Do you think I am in a good position for being accepted? Do you guys thinks being a male helps in getting accepted? I was just wondering as there are so few male nurses out there. Just looking to see what my chances are. By the way, I am applying to NYU's accelerated program, so if there are any guys out there who are doing the same or have gone through their program I would really like to hear from you...

Thanks everyone!:nuke:

My gpa before nursing school was a 3.57, but after finishing nursing school 2.85. I considered that to be ok be cause I worked 40 hours per week because I had to and I know for a fact if I did not have to work my gpa would have been at least a 3.5. I compared myself to my fellow classmates who did not have work and was fortunate enough to have parents to support them. I am kind of frustrated because I want to pursue a NP degree but most programs require at least a 3.0 and I know I am capable of passing now, I just had been dealt a bad hand. Do anone think I could enter a NP program with a 3.0 after give a full description of my slighlty lower gpa in the personal statement part of the applicfation process.

3.6 here. Just got accepted for the nursing program in the Fall, so I am sure that it will drop because I will have to keep working also.

I have a 3.4 for undergrad. I broke up with my ex over a summer while taking Microbiology. The C+ made my GPA plummet.

I had a 4.0 when I entered the RN program and I completed my first year with about a 3.6.

I just graduated Nursing school on May 23, 2009 :yeah: and completed school with a GPA of 3.89 which suprisingly was enough to make me the valedictorian of the class. I was able to work throughout school too. Not much of a social life outside work, school and family though.

Way to go! Congrats... many congratulations. Truly an accomplishment.

3.25 :( My last class really messed it up. It was creative writing. lol. But, lots of things were going on in my life. I am trying to get accepted to a nursing program right now. I took the TEAS test today and passed. Not a great passing grade but I did it. I am counting on all my great references to boost my points. I have friends, who are nurses, that are volunteering to vouch for me. I feel blessed right now. :)

GPA is fairly subjective for being an 'objective' weight of intelligence or academic accomplishment.

BA Biology: 3.0

BS Nursing: 3.9

Meh.
