Is anyone else applying for the part-time Spring 2014 term? Any full-time applicants?

Hey guys! Do you know if they take the highest score if you retake the Kaplan? I was a little scared to retake it because I wasn't sure if I would make higher than my first test. I am second guessing myself a little though. Also, I need to talk to my advisor and ask her if I need to go to orientation. I push my admit date to Spring 2014 instead of the Fall.

Do they look at all of your transcripts from other schools to determine your overall GPA or just the classes that transfer?

They look at the highest score but I believe you can only take it twice in a certain amount of time. I feel like the second test if you don't feel comfortable about your first score is a real gift because if it's lower it certainly won't cancel out your first score and chances of it being lower I think are probably pretty low!

They definitely evaluate all of your other transcripts but only a certain amount of credit hours transfer over. Also in the case of repeated courses they only take the highest grade. They use those transferred classes to determine your overall GPA and then they also do a separate GPA of your pre-reqs only.

They also offer transfer nursing sessions and explain all of this. They're pretty awesome and they give you a tour of the nursing buildings including the simulation labs which are pretty awesome!! Very worth signing up for one of these.

I wish I had know! Well, there is nothing I can do now since this Thursday is the last test they are offering or at least that is what the website says. Do you know who we can call to ask about the transfer nursing sessions Glenna?

@adria10 how did you do on the kaplan?! I got a 79. Worst section was science. I'm thinking about retaking it in June. What about you?

Girl, you did awesome, congrats!!! I wouldn't take it again in your place, your score is highly competitive! I got 69. The English part of it killed me...made a 50...:(( obviously it affected my overall score drastically. On the math I did great, and on the science I did good too which I'm very surprised. I don't think I'm gonna take it again. It was very nice meeting you though!:)

I got a fifty in the science. I haven't studied the individual systems yet with a&p II so that tricked me up a bit I think. I remember a lot of the questions though to study for them again. I think you have a great chance of getting in with that score!! Hopefully we are all posting our acceptance here in August!

All I can do is pray and hope that my score is good enough to get accepted. It is such a long wait. Based on the website the Nursing admission deadline is August 1st and acceptance letters are sent out in September.

Hey ladies! Congrats on taking and passing the Kaplan. My score was 68 so don't feel bad. I got 88 on both the Math and English but the Writing (64 I think) and Science (in the 40s) brought my score down. On the Critical Thinking section I only missed two questions so I was proud about that. I am considering on taking it again since they posted up two more dates. The only reason I am considering on retaking it is because I would like to get into the program since it is part-time. But really all I can do is just pray and finishing passing the classes I am taking. I just really want to know what they put more weight on, the grades or the Kaplan score. Let's keep positive!
