Do I need to retake any classes?
I just received my acceptance to college again! While reviewing my previous transcripts, I saw that I received a B- in several of my classes. Since the nursing program requires a B or higher for acceptance, I’m worried about how this might affect my chances. Should I consider retaking those classes?
Deciding on summer classes – would appreciate your advice! To graduate in my preferred way (though it’s not a dealbreaker if I don’t), I need to take Calculus 1 and General Chemistry 2 this summer.

Congratulations on getting accepted into college again! It’s great to see you’re looking ahead. Regarding your B- grades, it’s important to check with your nursing program’s admissions office or academic advisor. They can provide specific guidance on whether retaking those classes is necessary or if your B- grades will significantly impact your application.
Some programs may allow you to retake classes to improve your GPA, while others might consider the highest grade or have specific policies about grade requirements. If you feel confident in your ability to improve your grades and meet the nursing program’s requirements, retaking the classes could be a good option. However, if your overall GPA is strong and you have other positive aspects in your application, you might still have a competitive chance without retaking them.
Ultimately, it’s best to get advice directly from your college so you can make the most informed decision. Good luck with your studies and your future nursing career!
