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 cumulative GPA is only about a 2.6. The reason for that is because I went to 2 different colleges during the first 2 years out of high school, and took a bunch of random freshman classes that I had no interest in and did not care about. Consequently, I made several D's and F's during those 2 years.
When I became serious about school and started taking nursing pre-reqs at the school I'm at now, I made the "mistake" of forwarding my transcripts. Doing that shot my GPA down pretty low. Most of my actual nursing classes have been at my current school, and my GPA based on what I've done here has been about a 3.9ish/just under 4.0.
My GPA right now as it stands (I am still in first semester nursing school) is 3.6. However, this will not last, as my A days are very clearly over. Right now I will be happy to finish this semester with a B, which will knock that nice GPA right out the window.
As for being male, I don't think it helps in any way, particularly if your school is based on a point-based ranking system, which is dependant upon you're grades for pre's like A/P, and of course the NET test.
BTW-My hat is off to you guys who held 4.0 (and some of you still holding that) in nursing school! How in the heck do you do it??!!! Great job!

3.7 overall. The school I go to has a "nursing gpa" for certain classes. Which is 3.2. I suck at english, and writing papers, which is why I didnt get into nursing school this year. But all the cheaters who copied did. But I'm not mad, because they are all failing Bacteriology now, and I got an A. HAHAHAHA. . .
