Your pre req gpa....

Published

I was wanting to start a thread to see what the average gpa is nationwide at the time of your application. I am down in south Mississippi and it seems to be anywhere from a 3.0 to a 4.0.

I hope that my fellow nurses-to-be won't read this thread and become discouraged or feel intimidated by the high gpa's being listed.

A good nurse is NOT made of grades alone.

Unfortunately with the new 'points grid' admission systems that are so popular right now, we're probably going to have a bumper crop of book smart robot nurses in about two years! :idea: For many people, the science prereq courses are their first taste of challenging science material. I know I certainly did not come from a science background, and I cannot express how proud I am of myself for pulling a B in Anatomy and Physio after studying Sociology in my undergrad!

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this as I was actually feeling a bit intimidated with all these 4.0 GPA's. I managed a 79 in Fundamentals of Life Science which pretty much ruined my chances of ever getting a 4.0 overall GPA thankfully it does not count for admissions. Even though it is not the greatest grade I can atleast say I passed it the 1st time around : Yeah!:

Good luck to you in all your future en-devours! I am just getting started on my prereq journey and plan to take my A&P this fall!

My pre-req GPA is 3.88 All A's and a B in gen Chem. My overall gpa is a little lower because of courses I took during high school. I will be applying for this fall but feel very discouraged because I didn't expect it to be soo competitive. My school had 700 applicants last semester, 500 qualified and 30 were accepted :eek:

i really never paid any attention to this before....

i took alg on line and chem on campus last spring...only 2 pre-reqs i needed.....received a B in ALg and a C+ in chem and A in chem lab....it says on my final grades my GPA was a 2.87..that is jst chem cause ALG was taken at another college.....BUT after taking A & P 1 my cumulative GPA is a 3.43....which my GPA for A & P was 4.0...but after the 2 being added together its the 3.43......what do you think it will be after adding the B from ALG in??....

Is 3.43 OK?....also....where are you getting 30,40 or whatever the number is for credit hrs?:uhoh3:...its all new to me...
