What was your GPA when you got accepted?

Published

Next year in February I will be applying for nursing school for Fall '14. I'm just curious to know what some of the GPA's were when you were accepted. Thanks in advance.

If I get all As this semester (like I hope) then ill be applying with a 3.48 overall and my school only looks at gpa.

The higher your GPA is the better your shot. I got in with a 4.0. The best thing to do is see what the criteria of the program you are applying to has set. My school had a point system.

My GPA as a transfer student was 3.31.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond. The university I'm at had an average acceptance GPA of 3.8 last year, so I wanted to get an idea of what other schools had. I currently have a 3.56 GPA, but if I get all A's this semester it will be a 3.78. :nailbiting: 2 weeks left before the semester ends. Let's see what I can do! :up:

My first undergrad degree (non nursing) GPA was 2.34. I got into my ABSN program with a 3.68 prerequisite GPA and a 3.4 science GPA. I'm not sure how I got in since my cumulative had to be around 2.5. My only guess is that since I was a transfer student they messed up my transfer GPA and just looked at my prerequisite GPA. Good luck.

Wait, this might be a stupid question, but what's the difference between pre-req GPA and science GPA? I thought they were the same thing

Pre req GPA is your sciences & usually some other courses like intro to English, algebra, statistics, sociology & psychology.

Keep in mind I did a second degree ABSN program, my Prereq GPA was based on A&P 1 and 2, general chemistry, microbiology, psyc 101, developmental psyc, nutrition, and biostatistics. My science GPA included some of the science classes I took for my first degree.

Just thought I would contribute to one of my old threads since I have been accepted the first time around to the only BSN program I applied to. I applied and got accepted with:

3.8 Cumulative

4.0 Science

95% on HESI

For those of you who were recently accepted, lets get this thread going again! And good luck to all of you that will be applying soon and/or still awaiting decisions :)
