University of Memphis (LCON -The Loewenberg College of Nursing) Fall 2018

Published

I'm applying for U of M nursing for the fall of 2018! I'm excited but also extremely nervous because I've heard it is extremely competitive. I have just below a 3.5 now and am most likely going to end this current semester with a 4.0 averaging out to 3.75. Is that going to be enough? Is anyone else here applying for the fall, and if so, what are your grades like?

Hi there, I am also applying for the fall semester. I think with a 3.7 gpa you have a great chance of getting in. it also depends on your science gpa as well. I have a 3.3 gpa and a 3.5 science gpa. Im finishing Microbiology this semester. I have heard so many different stories about what it takes to get in so I dont know what to tell u lol.

I applied for fall. I have a 3.3 gpa. I have a 4.0 in the pre reqs. I honestly have no real clue about my chances at U of M. I find it a bit surprising they go purely on gpa and nothing else!

is the 3.3 gpa your science gpa or overall gpa? my advisor said my chances were border line so u have a better chance than i do

Sounds like we are close and your chances may be a bit better! 3.3 is overall. Science gpa is a 3.43 if we're including all the sciences from my previous undergrad degree (liberal arts). That was 17 years ago... A&P I and II and Micro have all been a 4.0. I'm applying to the accelerated program. Not sure if that is harder or easier to get into than the regular track...

I'm applying for the fall also. I have a 3.94 overall and a 3.67 for sciences, but I'm taking micro this semester so I'm afraid that could keep me out. I have everything done except for that, but I still am freaking out! My application shows "Under Review" as of yesterday, so they've started looking at them.

@baileythedove with those numbers I'm sure your have a great chance of getting accepted.

They will accept people with 6 or less hours missing, and since your GPAs are so high I feel like you'll have no problem

I just finished my application this morning. As of right now, my GPA is a 3.45 and my science GPA is a 3.3.

My adviser said that in the past few semesters they haven't admitted anyone with lower than a 3.0 and that they also consider if you have finished all of your sciences. So it can go either way for us.

Did anyone go to the info session? Im wondering if they gave any updates about when letters were being sent out.
