Hey!

So I know its early but who else is applying?

Specializes in MedSurg.
Well my current overall gpa is a 2.7 that is without micro (which im taking now) I got a C is A&P 2. i will be retaking A&P 1 next semester i previously got an F. And im taking chemistry over the summer. I know im terrible. I feel like nursing isnt for me but i dont want to give up.

Don't give up. It doesn't matter which campus or which semester. Just depends on who applies to each and their stats. Retake your classes. U can still apply so long as your classes (prerequisites) will be completed before first day of class with B or better.

Lol no worries. I feel you. I got wait-list 3 times before I got in on the forth time and fourth time was also waited. I deferred Marymount then deferred gw until I finally got into umson. Definitely retake AnP. They want to know you have a good foundation on both 1&2. If u can retake the courses with C to bring up gpa as well as prerequisites look good. O just did practice exams for teas. Barnes I think. Got it at local library. Also since u seem to have problems in those courses I suggest get the review book as well as practice exams. Another good one is McGraw. Kaplan works too.

Is is bad to repeat classes?

Well if u repeat classes they calculate both of the grades into your gpa. So if U took A&P the first time and got a D and took it the second time and got a B, both the B and the D will be counted into your gpa.

Hey guys! So I got accepted to UMSON at Shady grove but I'm worried they might take away my acceptance because my GPA this semester will most likely be a 2.979. My cumulative for all the nursing prereqs is still a good amount above the 3.0 minimum even with this semester but I know the acceptance letter said my acceptance "may be reconsidered". Does anyone have any insights/information about this? I'm really nervous about this because I've already worked so hard to get here and I'm worried it will all be taken away.

I would suggest talking with the school. Explain the situation and grades.

Did anyone apply for any scholarships (Conway or Shady Grove)?
