Do you think I'll get into the Nursing program with this GPA and grades?
-
My cumulative GPA is 3.4, but my Nursing GPA is just 3.2 I am worried since my school requires or recommends an average GPA of 3.5-3.6 I have been working very hard for the past 3 years to get my grades and GPA up but unfortunately the past few quarters it has been going down despite all my studying. It makes me cry sometimes. Sometimes I don't know if I'm wasting my time, considering I should be graduating in a year but am barely trying to get into this nursing program. I really want to be a nurse but it's just too difficult. I've just applied to the nursing program at my school but am worried that I wont get in since i don't have a 3.5 gpa. Do you think I should be so worried, is there a chance I'll get in? There are very limited seats too but I know lots of pre-nursing majors like myself but they even have lower gpas. some not even a 3.0! So that kinda gives me confidence, still I am not sure I'm getting in/ My school is a CSU btw its very hard to get into. I heard some people saying they only needed a 3.0. I'm considering applying to community colleges as well, but I really want to get my RN BSN not associates. Though I'll have to maybe. Do you think I should apply for all other schools as well? Any CSU or BSN programs near Cali anyone knows of that will accept at least a 3.0 gpa or 3.2 like I have? By the way, I used to have a 3.5 near my first year but it recently went down unfortunately since the Micro class I took I got a really bad grade in, I'm so sad about it because it was the first class I ever failed my entire life! (I got a D+ and C- or lower is considered failing). Yes I know nursing school will be harder, but I know I can do it. I'm very determined and dont want to give up. But sometimes I'm not sure I can handle all this. So what do you think..is it a good idea for me to consider nursing or am I just wasting my time ? Apply other places? though I want to stay in city where I live and prefer to get a BSN (the ony school offering that is the CSU I'm going to) Do you think I'll get in with this gpa (though it's lower than average gpa)? Anyone else got into nursing program at their school with a lower GPA? Prerequisite courses: I have mostly A's and B's in the sciences. except Micro (I got a D+ and am currently retaking it). I have a total of 2 C's. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I really appreciate it. Anyone else with similar stories, I'd really like to hear. To answerers: hmm my school ever mentioned anything about ACT or SAT scores as a requirement. Nor do they look at that. They didn't even ask what the scores are for these tests on the applications. So would it really matter? I did only take the SAT but that was back in HS. Yet I don't see why I'd have to tell my score..Should I if it's not even asked for?

Answer:
Try to get in regardless of your gpa, you just said they recommend doesn't mean that's the exact gpa you have to have to get in. And if that doesn't work keep trying, and maybe retaking SATs and ACTs will help good luck!!

See if the school also has a minimum ACT or SAT score. Consider taking one of these tests.
