Abstract
When nursing schools have too many applicants for the number of students they can take, many use the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) as an important factor in the selection process. However, this practice continues to exclude students, many from minorities, which need to be included in preparing nurses to care for all populations. These authors describe how to use GPA only as an initial preliminary screening tool to determine qualified applicants, but not as a factor in the final decision in selecting students.
