Hey Guys,

I am still waiting to hear also about admission to the Spring 2010 program.

I got a 150 on the NLN and my GPA is 3.66.

I do have some information on the point system:

The highest amount of points you can get is 31 and the lowest that would be accepted is 7. When I spoke to Linda Sallee, she used my stats tell me how many points I had.

GPA in Eng 101, A&P I, Chem: 3.6 = 4 points 3.7 = 7 points (I hope the computer rounds up!)
NLN score: Verbal 90th percentile: 5 points Math 90th percentile: 5 points Science: 90th percentile: 5 points
The maximum you can get for NLN is 15 points.
I am an Essex County resident: 3 points (maximum points)
I never re-took a science class: 3 points (maximum points)
I have taken 14 credits at ECC: 1 point (maximum 3 points)

So depending on how they treat my GPA, I either have 26 or 29 points. With the maximum amount of points available being 31, I am hoping this puts me in a good position.

And congrats to the other person who got a 150 on the NLN like me!

Hey RJordan!

Does it seem like it is taking forever for ECC to send out these acceptance letters? Nothing in the mail today for me.

Also, how did most people you know do on this test? I haven't met too many people who have taken it, but so far I know 1 other person who passed and 6 who didn't make the 50th percentile.

I wonder how many people didn't pass?
