Got waitlisted...feeling discouraged.
Long story short...I got a 2.6 overall gpa in undergrad. I applied to Ukentucky ABSN and I just found out I got waitlisted today. Idk if any other nursing program will accept me. I feel very sad and discouraged since I really wanted to go there and they had accepted to get an interview from me. I would like some advice on what to do from here. For those of you that are wondering why my gpa was so low...well I had poor study habits along with poor mental health. I just want some advice on what to do. I feel like i can't get anywhere in life and I wanna continue my academics but due to my poor grades from undergrad it feels impossible. I really wish I could go back in time and restart everything. Please please please give me advice.
I do want to point out that I did unfortunately engage in academic dishonesty during undergrad (again a lapse of judgement along with the fact I was 19 and naive). I was honest with them about this. I wanted to be transparent and I feel like that just kicked my chances down. I just got a warning during undergrad.
My experience is that i worked as a dsp for two years, and having been working as an hha and medical scribe for one year. I have volunteered at nursing/hospice care. Any advice appreciated.
