Hello guys! I haven't been able to find a forum for this upcoming cohort. I just finished submitting my application a few days ago and just recently received my canelink credentials. How's everyone else rolling along?
Same boat. Have a 3.4 overall, 3.95 BSN, 3.85 ASN, however my science GPA transferred in as a 2.85??? With the natural sciences they calculate every single science course you've ever taken, even one's that don't pertain to nursing at all. Even failed classes and withdraws. So it doesn't honor grade forgiveness? Other schools have specific classes that they look at for your science GPA. So even though my science GPA for FIU is a 3.85 it's a 2.85 for UM? It seems like they look at all sciences. I emailed Mrs. Medina and she said they utilize the NursingCAS GPA. So I more than likely won't get an interview either, just focusing on other schools at this point.

Great insight Jenna! Your ASN and BSN GPA's are solid! Can't see any school not wanting to accept someone with those grades or at the minimum give them an interview. What and where do I find the NursingCAS GPA?
What other programs are you applying to?
FIUSRNA26, ASN, BSN

Question! Does your application say "completed" or "verified" under your status through NursingCAS?
