Valencia College pre-nursing student

Published

Hi! I am a pre-nursing student at Valencia College. I am doing my last semester for my AA degree before applying to the program. My biggest fear is my grades. I didn't fail any of my pre-req classes but I have 2 C'S In Anatomy and Physiology, 2 A's in Psychology, A in nutrition, an A in student development, I received credit in English and humanities from my high school transcript, and I have an A in microbiology.

I am currently volunteering at a local hospital and I also shadow a family member that is nurse at a nursing home. I guess you can tell that I'm doing these things to increase the likelihood of getting in. I am also studying for the TEAS exam, and I plan on getting my CPR certification out of the way.

Do you think that I have any chances of getting into Valencia's nursing program with my grades. My overall GPA right now is at 3.2 which above the overall requirement , but my science GPA is only 2.8 and it has to be 3.0, i'm worried that they won't accept me, even though I made A'S in all my other classes. Any Valencia college nursing students got accepted even though their GPA was low?

I'm currently in Seminole State's nursing program ("rival" of Valencia). I initially started at Valencia but my GPA wasn't even close to high enough to get in. I know they look at your pre-req GPA so honestly, if it doesn't even meet their requirements, you probably won't get it. They have a competitive program.

Not to mention, Seminole's nursing program is waaaaaay better and you should just come to my school. =P

Lol, I was considering Seminole but transportation is my biggest issue. Valencia is the closest to me. I dont know, I am honestly conflicted.

Amywat, I'm currently at Valencia & the President of the SNA. Apply anyway. There's currently no... and I mean NO waiting list. Apply anyway. Good luck to you. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I was just accepted into Valencia for spring 2016 and I know you have to have a 3.0 science GPA. So out of just your A&P 1 and 2 you need a 3.0. Then you have to have an overall 3.0 with all previous course work, then you need a 3.0 in Gen Ed classes. It's tough but doable!
