What are my chances of getting into nursing school?

I am planning to apply to Saddleback, Golden West, CSUF, CSULB, Riverside, LBCC, and Santa Ana.

My overall GPA is 3.6

Anatomy - B

Physiology - A

Microbiology - A (but took it twice so I have a W for the first semester due to personal issues)

Intro to Chem - A

English 100 - A

Statistics (Psych Stats) - A

Psychology 100 - A

Sociology 100 - C

I haven't taken my TEAS yet, I will on the 3rd of January, but I did purchase both the McGraw Hill and ATI books to help my studies. I also plan to take pathophysiology and pharmacology next semester along with Psychology Life Span Development. And I currently volunteer at CHOC hospital.

My parents were discussing West Coast University in the case I don't get accepted. Any advice on the possibility of me getting accepted to a school? Or even other private universities I should check out that may be cheaper than West Coast? Maybe out of state? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about the other schools, but I think you wouldn't be eligible for CSULB... They don't allow any W's on transcripts.

I don't know what other schools' stances are on that, but your stats look pretty good otherwise!

Don't even apply to for profit private schools... You won't be able to pay those crazy loans.

Hi. You can apply to RCC when you have completed Developmental Psychology. It is a pre req. RCC won't care about your w in Micro. I am going to apply to LATTC PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, E. LA, LA SOUTHWEST AND RCC.Good luck.

I think you have a good chance of getting in. I just got into RCC....my GPA was pretty similar to yours and I talked to other students who got in with worse GPA's....if you decide to apply to RCC my advice to you is to really really study hard for the TEAS....they accept students based on a points system and the TEAS alone is around 30% of the total points calculated.

apply to LATTC, SOUTHWEST LA, HARBOR, SANTA MONICA,SANTA ANA, RCC, CERRITOS, CYPRESS, GWC, RCC, LONG BEACH CITY COLLEGE, GLENDALE ... Your grades are good. Good luck
