I'm applying to NGCSU and my Adjusted score is a 84.7 on my first attempt, I thought pretty good for someone who's been out of college since 1992. But is that really good enough? I'm new at this so bear with me.
I got a 95 on Reading, 87 on Math, 73 on Science and 86 on English. After taking the test I could probably pull up the science part by brushing up on chemistry, and probably the math a bit as there were a couple of problems that threw me, but I could have done if I had known the problem type ahead of time, and now I do.
Is this good enough or should I try to re-take it in December? Do they frown on taking it twice to improve your grade just a few points?
I have a bachelors from 1992. My overall GPA was 3.4, but in the core classes they will be looking at I think I have a 3.2. I still need to take A&P, but they don't require you take that before you apply at NGCSU.
I know it's super competitive, but I have no idea what they actually base the critera on for acceptance. Since I'm getting older, waiting is becoming a harder option for me.
I've been wanting to do this for a few years, but I was trying to wait for my twins to get old enough, they are in 2nd grade this year.
Also, after you apply, do they interview you or have you do an essay, or is soley based on grades and TEAS alone?
I'm taking A&P and another math class in January, regardless. If I don't get in I will need other alternatives. I really want to get in there because the Lanier extension campus is only a few miles from my home, so that is definately my first choice, aside from it being a good school.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
