Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

[mahkev2000]

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:

I hear that! I recently started going to college again after a 10 year vacation. It's a lot harder the second time around.

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.

1.5. But I'm rich, so I just bought them a library.

What?

I'm just kidding, guys! (ducking now...) :chuckle

3.75.

Best regards,

Michael

Oh, Lordy! I would have paid real money for those numbers when I applied!

Good luck, Ab! :bowingpur

3.91 going into an ADN program. Expecting a solid beating in the process.

3.53. Was a 3.78 until I was stupid enough not to withdraw from a class I knew I'd probably not pass. Hoping to bring it up to at least a 3.6 by the end of the summer.

I currently have a 3.8 and take 8 classes, its a 1 yr. program.

I had a 4.0 when I entered the nursing program. That promptly went right out the window once in the program, along with my being hard on myself when I don't make 100 on tests. Nursing school is great for humbling you and lowering your expectations for yourself.

My motto now is: C = Continue.

3.6 GPA as of right now all things considered.

Mine's a 3.01 - damaged from my former life as a business major.

I had a competitive program to get into, and I was accepted for this Fall. Mine is a 4.0 :)

Not a male student, just browsing when I read your post. I laughed sooo hard. Completly know how you feel. 3.5 going into this RN/BSN program, now a 3.27 (my school does not round up). Graduate in Dec. 08 and looking forward to working w/pay! (one word---clinicals)

Thanks for the laugh!

Hope you grauduate soon.

3.01.. thanks to my previous A.A .. if my math serves me right I'll finish all my pre-requisites with a 3.15-3.2

I'm very persistent! I know i'll make it somehow!

Cheers.

Yes, and "B's get degrees."

I was just like you. I was four-oh on entry and got my first B in first-quarter nursing theory. Ouch! It was the worst Christmas ever. I didn't quit, but only just.

I like your point that NS is a very humbling experience. Since I gave up my pursuit of perfection, my life has become much simpler and my grades have actually gone up. I finally got my A in theory in the Spring.

I don't see any "perfection" in clinicals. I see lots of "pretty good" with moments of "freakin' awesome" but none of the nurses are flawless. That's why I like the team approach. There's always somebody there to remember what I forgot.

I finished with a 3.44. Yep, that "C = degree" from my BS bit me hard transferring credits.
