Kingsborough NLN score 2009

... or from im hearing do they look at the nln first and then all the rest gpa they consider in a little lesser degree !!!
can someone just give me some actual answers i really cant get anyone to give me a realistic score to get in
well thank you so much for your help

Well 2.5 is the cut off area. But I would definitely say get the highest GPA you can possibly work your butt off for. It will definitely give you an edge against the others. I just got accepted into the nursing program, I have a 3.5 GPA. Work really hard (and harder after that) It will be worth it in the end. Good Luck ^_^

P.S: From what I was personally told, they look at the grades more heavily than the NLN because it is basically a logistics test (like an SAT). I am guessing their thinking is "lets see who isnt going to waste our time in the long run"

Hope this kinda sorta helps =]

thanx that kind of sort of helps im a transfer and my over all gpa will be a 3.15
it really seems not enough ...so i just want to honestly know if this is a getting into the nursing program GPA my be you know anyone who actually got in with a 3.15 and descent nln like 130
i really need to get an honest answer for it, since i took my classes in hunter college and clearly that school is really hard so thats why my gpa ins't so competitive
if i went to kings borough first i probably would score a higher gpa, but i picked a bad school
what seems not to be such a good choice after all !!
if not kings borough i will go somewhere else somewhere ????
any suggestions about that???
....any way thank you for your interest

I'm going into my 2nd clinical semester and I can tell you that the GPA/NLN requirements seem to shift from term-term. I would say a 3.0 and 120 NLN are about the rock-bottom for real consideration.

so you think people with 3.0 get in in the lower percentage of all the accepted

I believe so. I know people in my group who were in the 3.0 range with 115-120 and were accepted. But again, it all depends on the grades/scores of those applying at a particular time. I think you have an excellent chance of being accepted based on your GPA/NLN scores!

thank you so much ! one more question
do they look at the nln and gpa equally ? does high score in one help the lower score of the other idk??
plus i have 2 C's in both a&p I and II
but all together my grades are better, do the C's in major classes are an automatic rejection ? or do they look strictly on the gpa # only???
plus who is the best scie 215 teacher by the best i mean the easiest to get an A in !!! and one last question when they over calculate your gpa do they take off all the pluses and minuses, like they did in hunter a B+ would count only as a B and a B- would count as a B ! i hope they don't do that becouse it is simply unfair !!!
thanx a lot and good luck to you i just wish i got in !!!
i have been trough hell this summer and past year i really wish i didn't go to hunter that college is super commpetitivie the lowest gpa to get in is #.5 and 135 on the nln my friend with those scores got waiting listed !!!

Wow!! Where to begin... Yes, they do look at all +/- grades. I also believe they put greater weight on your NLN scores as opposed to GPA. I believe you said you had a 3.15, which in my opinion will be sufficient to give you a good shot. I know it's very stressful waiting, but you are definitely a good candidate for admission.

I almost forgot about your sci 25 question. I had one instructor. He was FANTASTIC!!! He teaches only on Sat morning, so if that works for you, I would definitely try to get him. Don't forget to register for his lab section as well. Some people forget they have to register for both separately and end up with a different lab prof.

is there any tutoring for the nln exam at the college
and thank you for your answers they are very helpful !
