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:

Including my first year of gen sciences, I'm sitting at a 3.0 (although I am from Canada so it might be different in the states).

why do you boys always have to size eachother up? jk:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hah! We do tend to do that but think the OP may just be anxious about his application.

To the OP - my GPA is smaller then yours :uhoh21:. It is however noteworthy that I just got accepted at a very prestigious direct entry masters program.

Moral = it's not just yer GPA my friend, it's the total package.

To everybody - please do yourself the service of applying where you want to go to school. Apply broadly, and yes pick a school or two that you are pretty confident will take you. But no school will accept you without an application.

I graduated from nursing school with a 3.6 adn - however when I was young and dumb I got a 2.7 overall for my bachelors in business. I hope my business degree doesn't screw me going forward from a gpa sense. I hope schools look at the difference in time frame cand take most recent gpa..

3.79 GPA undergrad...starting an ABSN program in a month.

Most programs want a 3.0 or above so you're fine. And to be honest, I think being a male definitely helps. I asked my nursing school if it did and they said that they "do whatever possible to ensure diversity in incoming classes". Also, nurses at the hospital I work at STRONGLY DESIRE males coming in to nursing. Maybe it's just my region of the US or something.

Getting my pre-reqs for my ADN...4.0. But I pretty much had to bust my butt for it. Out of school for 8 years plus the fact that I'm just not a natural student.
