Thanks everyone for responding! Sometimes it seems like it takes forever to get a reply to a new post.
So you guys got your MSN at WGU and then you will transfer to another school to get your FNP? I had heard that some schools won't accept a 3.0 because the minimum is 3.3 or above. My aunt works at CU Denver and they said I woudn't be competitive enough with a 3.0.
I was accepted to Maryville and University of Memphis, both for FNP/MSN. I also applied to Vanderbilt, but I pulled my application after going to an APRN open house there and hearing the Dean of the FNP program say that she doesn't recommend that new grads get any experience before going into an FNP program.

Hi!
I am interested in the Western Governors University RN-BSN program because of the cost and time element (I work full time); however, I had heard that because they award GPAs of 3.0 that it would be difficult to get accepted into a FNP or Midwife program. CSU Fullerton said it wouldn't be competitive enough, but CSU Dominguez Hills said they would accept it and currently have students from WGU.
What other schools have people gotten into for a FNP? Or has anyone else encountered problems getting into FNP programs--and if so what did you do about it?
Thanks everyone! :)
