What was your average/GPA when you got accepted?

Published

Hi Everyone,

Currently, I am upgrading my high school pre-requisites in the hopes of getting accepted into the RN nursing program where I live (Regina, SK). However, daily I get anxiety thinking that my grades will never be good enough.

What were your grades when you were accepted (within the last 5 years) and how many years did you have to wait until you were accepted.

Thanks in advance :)

My high school GPA was not very good. I think it might've been around 2.8, much lower than I was capable of, but I was going through an awful lot those years. I went to a community college for two years right after high school, and my cumulative GPA is now around 3.5, and I was accepted into my school's LPN program very fast with no wait, and I was also accepted into a local college's BSN program this upcoming spring. I chose the LPN program (I started 4 weeks ago) for various reasons although I do still intend on getting my BSN.

If you are worried about your GPA I would recommend going to a local college for your nursing prerequisites, because it is a good way to show them that you are serious about the nursing program, and you are capable of doing it.

Good luck!

My high school was back in the 80s so it wasn't as important (3.0 maybe?) as my recent college classes (even though they were all in the field of early childhood), which was 4.0. My current GPA in the pre-nursing program is 4.0. I'm starting the RN program in January.

Well I just decided I wanted to go into Nursing this past spring and I got accepted on my first shot of applying. I have been out of high school for 5 years now and when I graduated I was top ten in my class. The 2 years that I have went to college before pursing a major, I took several pre-req classes and I had a cumulative GPA when accepted was a 3.7. If your not comfortable try going to a local community college first and take pre-reqs for nursing. Good Luck :)

High school GPA of 3.4 (I slept a lot...it was the 90s) & college GPA of 3.9 with an ACT of 28. I got in on the first try & luckily my college had a guaranteed admission policy so I found out within a couple of days of applying. I start in January of this year.
