What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

There seems to be a lot of questions on how important GPA is to get into a program.

I decided to start a thread where people can see , and average them out. We can all speculate on the importance, but to see the numbers, sometimes helps.

I hope it helps some people. I hope we all achieve our goals.

I start in January an RN program, my GPA is 4.0

Mine was 3.5

Total undergrad GPA : 3.6

Total Prereq GPA: 3.92

Total Nursing school GPA : 4.0 after the first semester :)

I am in a BSN program

Specializes in Urology, ENT.

I had a 2.9 with prereqs. I just graduated, and my GPA went up to a 3.06. I goofed up when I shouldn't have before nursing school.

Mine was a 3.5...the last two semesters (one of pre-reqs, and my first nursing semester) were 4.0s though! I'm still excited about it, not trying to brag lol.

Does the Teas score play a part in your acceptance? My GPA is 3.5 but my Teas score suxxxx.

Specializes in Urology, ENT.

The minimum GPA requirement for my school was 2.75, and yeah, it depends on the school. 2.9 was the pre-req gpa for my school, but at other schools where I applied, it went up or down. At one school, it was a 3.0, at another, it was a 3.3.

I applied twice and got in the second time with a GPA of 3.7

Specializes in Psych/Mental Health.

My undergrad and grad GPAs were 2.98 and 3.7, respectively, in an unrelated major. My prerequisite GPA is 4.0 I had finished A&P 1&2, micro, psych, lifespan, and chem. my school ranked by test scores first, then consider GPA, so GPA didn't really matter when I applied. But they are changing that now and they'll start using a point system.

Specializes in Neonatal Nurse Practitioner.

My overall GPA was a 2.13

Prereq GPA was a 3.6

My school considers prereq GPA, TEAS V (I made a 90.7), and the essay.

Specializes in Cardiothoracic, Peds CVICU.

At the time of application, I had a 3.5 w/ physiology in progress. After acceptance, I had a 3.6. My school also looked at the TEAS. You got extra points for being bilingual, having volunteer/healthcare experience, and living/going to school in the area. I was waitlisted, but somehow managed to get in. :up:

Right now I have a 3.7 but I have alot more work to do... Like I just started school last semester... I hope I can do alot better next semester... 4.0 as far as pre reqs. :) 3.7 overall. :(

I technically had a 1.9 GPA, but with academic forgiveness and being able to start over I had a 3.5 going into Nursing School. I got a 2.75 this semester in my first semester of nursing school.
