I have applied to USA's Psych NP program for this fall. Do they look at your GPA overall or your last 60 credit hours like some others?

I also applied for the Psych NP program. I applied for the BSN to DNP. They look at overall GPA. I'm anxiously awaiting the decision date!

I applied last year and was denied due to the fact that they look at cumulative. My cum is 3.09, last 60 hrs 3.62, so now I am looking at programs that only consider last 60 hrs. The admissions director told me I basically had no hope without a 3.5 or better. The only suggestion she had was to return and take more undergrad courses to raise GPA, and if I recall correctly, she told me it would take about 40 hrs to get it there! Good luck

Have applied to the psych NP program for fall 2013. How's it going thus far. Have read so many horrible reviews about the FNP program I'm paranoid. Thanks for feedback.
