I had one of those in my chemistry class last summer. 5th time was the charm. She finally passed with a C.

4.0

I got accepted into the first and only nursing school I applied.

3 year BSN Program 2.81 Pre-req GPA (all Bs except a C in Micro) and 3.4 Cumulative. It was a points based system so I basically had to have experience, have completed a previous Bachelor's, be a resident of the geographic area, get scores over 80 for reading and english and over 70 for math on TEAS V, and speak Spanish. I then was initially denied but was offered a spot when some of the accepted people got into other programs, creating an opening for me. My Pre-Req GPA was a factor in not starting an ADN program that I had applied for in Spring 2009 (was wait listed but they took high scoring applicants for extra spots opened up by grants) In total, 3 years since I first applied to nursing school. (would've been 2.5 for the ADN program had I been more responsible and taken the TEAS V in a reasonable time but my application was withdrawn, that is another story)

so after my semester ended. I ended up with these grades

physiology = c

microbiology=A

nutrition = b-

should I retake physiology over because, I took anatomy twice and personal reasons it didnt go well. But third time I got an C.

somes schools wont allow a point for you if you took a bio course more than two times. anyways, what are you advices.

3.3 GPA, 2110 on SAT, 7 APs! my gpa was a bit low but i think my courseload and SAT made up for it phew

I also got in direct energy to a 4yr program from high school, so it didn't take me long..?

My GPA was only a 3.14 when I got in, I was put on a waitlist 5 TIMES and my GPA went down a little bit each time. I took A&P 1 over again, we need a 77% for Nursing, I got a 76.7% (it was out of 1000 points and she didn't round up). Anyway, hang in there, work hard, do your BEST, and you will get in!!! I just started the program yesterday, I live in Upstate NY

HI can you please tell us what school you got in.I know it super long but it will help a sister.

3.6 overall, 3.75 sciences and 89% on HESI entrance exam. I also have a non nursing bachelors. I got into an accelerated ADN program in MD first go round (it was a very quick decision/turnaround for me).

KO.SRNA, MSN, RN · Feb 25, 2016

Hello,

I need some feedback. I was pre-med Biology at a decent University. My GPA was only a 3.1. However, my science GPA was a 3.5. I have taken above and beyond the Biology, Chemistry and Physics requirements. I wanted to be a doctor but my GPA is far to low. I am considering nursing. I am concerned about the low GPA still. What can I do to enhance my application packet? (aka... take AP 1 and 2 with a 4.0--- will this be enough to convince admissions I am capable of excelling in nursing?)

Please, let me know if you think I have a shot at being accepted into a nursing program? All of this competition is so stressful! :unsure: Thanks Everybody! I really appreciate any help I can get! :)
