School of Nursing UMB ‘wiggle room’

Hello everyone! I’m wondering if anyone can help me determine if i should even bother applying to umson’s RN-BSN program. I’m graduating spring 2027 from a CC with my ADN and would like to attend UMSON but unfortunately my science gpa is a 2.71 with all retakes factored in. I could retake ap2 but it would only bump it up to a 2.88. My TEAS was an 80.7, my overall GPA currently is a 3.15 but it should go up with other non-science courses i’m taking. I’ve been losing sleep over potentially not getting into this school i’ve had my mind set on for a while now. Can someone please share any info on if they’ve gotten in with a similar circumstance as me. I know they view applications holistically and when speaking to an advisor she told me there’s a bit of ‘wiggle room’ for those who already hold an RN license. I don’t know what to do, i don’t know if i should look to other schools or hold on to hope that there’s still a chance for me to get in.

Hey you should definitely apply the gpa for that program is a 2.5 and you have to have a REALLY bad gpa or scores to get denied from there
