Undergraduate Transcript Questions

[forchunet, BSN]

Hi all,

I am an undergraduate nursing student in my junior year and I have a few questions about overall grade transcripts. I currently have a 3.7 GPA and I am hoping to finish with around a 3.7 - 3.8. My transcripts do however have an unofficial class withdrawl and a class incomplete (walked out in disgust and never returned) from my nursing prerequisites courses my freshman year. These were mainly due to personal problems with a few professors, I felt as if they weren't teaching me anything rather taking most of the class to talk about their children and family lives. I have since retaken those classes and made A's.

Will this effect me in trying to get into CRNA school? And has anybody had any experience trying to explain these types of things to the interviewers and acceptance panels?

Thanks

Absolutely not. I had to withdraw from an entire semester to be deployed to Iraq. Concentrate on your core Nurs grades, not the bs paper classes... Pharm;Clinicals, etc. The Admissions committee also looks heavily @ science grades... A&P, Chemistry, etc.

Good luck!

Only thing - if you ARE asked about your withdrawal and incomplete in an interview, I'd come up with a different explanation - obviously, I "walked out in disgust" isn't what they're looking to hear from a potential incoming student. But I'm sure you knew that already. If you're GPA stays where it is you're probably good in that area, but I'd make sure you prepare an answer in case they do ask. Good luck!
