Help! D21 wants to go into nursing, which she’s always been very passionate about. She is very bright and has aptitude for math and sciences, but has really struggled in high school. Her GPA is dismal–about a 2.8 at a rigorous prep school. Pre-ACT was a 26, so she’ll probably test well, but I know from doing some very basic looking around that she will likely not be a candidate for any direct-admit programs, unless any of you have suggestions? At this point, I’m thinking it’s probably best for her to start at community college, get her ADN, and then perhaps transfer in to a BSN program somewhere, provided she does well enough and is able to stick with this. I do believe that she’s capable of doing well and will thrive when she’s in classes that are moving her towards her dream. I just feel very out of my element with all this since it’s a little different than typical college admissions. We are in Northern VA.
