Hi everyone, i am planning to apply to as many campuses as possible for my nursing career. I got A on all science classes like statistic, anatomy, physiology and microbio. The bad thing is that some of my classes i took before i decided my major got bad grades so they pulled my gpa down to only 3.6. I wanna know my chance of getting accepted to any nursing school in Cali. Im planning on working and volunteering in fall before applying as well. Thank you for your time.
I supposed we could start with better understanding that GPA. Is the listed GPA unweighted? Cap-weighted UC/CSU GPA where only a max of 8 weighted semesters are used? Or is it fully weighted where all your applicable weighted classes were used to calculate it?
I am assuming you are a transfer applicant applying for a BSN program?
Here is data for UCI Nursing transfers:
Fall 2018 transfer applicants: 98
Fall 2018 transfer admissions: 21 (21% admitted)
Average cumulative GPA: 3.75
Cumulative GPA range of admissions: 3.49 – 4.00
UCLA Nursing transfers:
Admit GPA range: 3.73-3.84
Admitted: 12 (14% admitted)
Applied: 164
SDSU Nursing Transfer acceptance rate: 9%. No GPA listed
If you do more Research you may find more information on the California Nursing program stats but a 3.6 looks like a solid GPA for a Nursing Transfer.
Best of luck.
