If you know any other schools with good nursing programs please let me know! I’m very worried as my gpa and sat are not very high but I would REALLY like to go into nursing!!! I did not do very well in bio as I had a bad teacher but am doing very well in chem this year so far. I know that bio and chem are important for nursing. I’d really like to know if I have any chance at these schools. I would LOVE to go to TCNJ, but am unsure if I have a chance. Thanks!
