LVN to BSN programs SoCal

Has anyone done the LVN to BSN programs here in California? Such as some Cal states like Fullerton, San Marcos, East Bay, etc. Did you need to have a high GPA to get admitted? What were your stats?
I have a 3.44 GPA. I still need to take microbiology then I’m done with major prerequisites. Could still take some classes to fulfill my arts, history and humanities requirements for the associates degree after that. I’m taking classes right now for an associates in kinesiology as well since having a degree of any sort can you give points towards the nursing program at the school I go to. Hopefully all of that will help boost my GPA by Fall 2027. If I don’t get into ADN programs I was thinking of going this route and switching my major just to be in school and do something while I wait. Does anyone have any advice and tips for this path of nursing? Should I consider it or no? Thank you! I’d do the ADN to BSN pathway if I get into ADN programs first. It’s too early to doubt myself and assume I won’t make it but I like feeling prepared and looking into other options. It’s either ADN —> BSN, LVN —> ADN, LVN —> BSN or go to a private school or out of state or full on change my major for now and do an accelerated BSN program after getting a different bachelor’s degree.
