WWYD? Low GPA.

Published

I'm a community student looking to transfer to a 4 year for BSN. Unfortunately, due to undiagnosed AuDHD, it's been 10 years of back and forth with college since I could never stay consistent, focused (extremely bad executive dysfunction), and was indecisive. I am now diagnosed and medicated and needless to say I'm doing A LOT better with consistency and routines; however, my GPA sits at 2.46 tight now due to previous college attempts and a few failed classes. I'm retaking everything that's required for nursing but I do have other unrelated classes that would boost my GPA if I retook them. My college factors in the final grade of your last attempt and disregards previous attempts though they still stay on your transcript. 

Would you:
A. Just re-take what's necessary and really perfect and personalize your essay? This would put your GPA at only roughly 3.3 - 3.4 by application time.

OR

B. Retake all failed classes, even if unrelated, just for the GPA boost and forfeit applying to nursing schools for fall 2026?
