<p>I posted this in the TCU board as well, but since that board doesn't get a lot of traffic, I wanted to repost it here. (Admins, feel free to delete the original so there isn't a duplicate post.)</p>
<p>I live in California, and I went to UC Riverside for a year before I moved back home. I didn't do so well at school there because I wasn't ready for the big jump to a 4-year. I left UCR with a 2.5 gpa. I know I made a mistake by letting my gpa drop that low, but I'm really trying hard to turn myself around. Since moving home, I've been taking classes at my local community college. I have 4 A's and 2 B's so far, and right now I'm taking another 5 classes (2 of which are my remaining nursing pre-reqs). It's actually going really well. I've been treating school like a full time job.</p>
<p>My cumulative gpa is at 2.7, which I know is very low, but I got a 93% on my HESI A2 exam. What are my chances of getting admitted to TCU's nursing major as a transfer student? Will the nursing school take my upward trend into consideration? I mailed them an application, and I'm just waiting to hear a response.</p>
<p>Here are my prerequisite grades:</p>
<p>A&P 1: B
A&P 2: in progress
Microbiology: in progress
Human Development: A
Intro to Psychology: B (I took this at UCR)
Intro to Sociology: A
Elementary Statistics: A
Nutrition: B</p>
<p>& Public Speaking: A (I know this isn't a prerequisite for TCU, but I took this as well at my CC)</p>
<p>I also work as a piano teacher, I volunteer at a children's hospital, and I volunteer with high school exchange students in my area (I was an exchange student in high school myself).</p>
