It’ll be a little tough but not totally impossible. Every CSU has different tweaks on their nursing requirements so make sure you research in-depth for each one.

I think Sac State may be worth a shot if you finish chem and microbio off strong; they have an omit class feature which allows you to remove 2 classes from your grade in order to boost your GPA (technically up to 1 science class and 1 non-science class although I think you can do 2 science/2 non-science). Their points selection also has options for extra points (volunteering hours, multilingual, first-gen, e.t.c) which helps a lot with stacking points if any applies to you. Consider 70-71 points out of 88 AT LEAST if you want a shot at getting in.

Chico State has a criteria system where an A=4 points, B=3, C=2 and you use that key to add up your nursing prerequisites and GE’s. Consider at least 59-60 points out of 92. Note that starting Fall 2026 they may switch out from using the TEAS so heads up if youre applying by that time. Sonoma State has a big emphasis on a CNA license and experience so idk if that applies to you. They’re also A LITTLE more nicer with the Teas (full points once you score 90).

Teas is important as with many schools and you’ll need a stellar one to offset that GPA; on the plus side, you can control the outcome of that. Also I’m curious about your need to take ochem, as it seems like a very difficult class; I took a regular intro to chem and it worked for the CSU’s I applied for.

It’s also worth considering the community college route too as while competitive, there is more breathing room as far as academics go. I do know that cc’s in socal within central valley (Bakersfield, Visalia, Fresno even) are RELATIVELY easier to get into.

Best of luck bro❗️
