Super low gpa
I’ve seen a few posts on here with people saying they got into programs with 2.6-3.0 cumulative gpas, but I’m on the much lower end and I don’t know what to do. I’m sitting at a 2.3, with no work experience and I’m starting to become hopeless. I don’t even think associates programs would accept me at this point. The only thing I have going for me is relatively good grades in prereqs like A&P and microbiology. I’m finishing my BA in biology this year and when I first looked into nursing I thought accelerated programs would be the best fit for me but they’re extremely competitive and require at least a 3.0. I guess I’m hoping for some suggestions on what to do, I have so so many attempted credits so retaking courses won’t really boost my gpa. I’ve considered respiratory therapy as well but I think I’ll have the same issue. Should I take a phlebotomy or MA course to build my work experience and apply to programs later on? I’m in NYC so the options here are either really competitive public schools or extremely expensive for-profit programs. The idea of post-grad life has been stressing me out for years now and I’ve felt trapped with my biology degree - I’m really only completing it because my parents have put so much money into it and I don’t want to be a disappointment.
If anyone has any advice or knows of any alternative careers that someone in my situation may do well in please let me know. Some brutal honesty would really help me right now.
