Transfering from a community college to get my bsn?

Published

A little about me first.

I have a really bad gpa 1.6 and did not take classes required to enter a UCS or CSU college because my plan was to join the military. Coming from a military background I was sure all I needed was to graduate highschool and I was set. But recently I had a change of heart and now my dream is to get my BSN in nursing.

I realize that I should have still put my all into highschool but now it's too late. I'm a senior and i partied throughout highschool and only now realized this might have been my biggest mistake.

So my plan is to go to a community college and take all the pre-reqs i need to go to a college and remake every failing or C grade which I think is nearly all of them.

My councelor said once in a cc that gpa replaces your highschool one. So im planning on getting a 3.5+gpa and then would I be able to transfer to a 4year college that offers a bsn major and start out as a junior and finish the last 2 years? I herd anyway the first 2 years of college are just general ed. Would I need an additional year? Do they accept transfer students to get bsn? Any answer helps.

Yes it's true that once you are in college and take a certain number of credits you are then considered a transfer student. Depending on the program, it should be two years after doing two years of pre-reqs. Also, most community colleges have agreements with four year schools to make transferring to four year schools easier. Check with whatever community college you go to.
