Cochran School of nursing Fall 2020

Published

Hello All!

I noticed that there wasn't a thread for this year so I wanted to start one.

I live in near Hartford, CT and I'm 25 and I want to start a career in Nursing.

I have a BA in Psychology with a low undergrad GPA of a 2.51 ?

So I'm taking the longer route to eventually become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I do have a high pre-req GPA due to class retakes at several community colleges and I've also completed all of the pre-req requirements too.

Teas score of 76, and experience as Americorps state member at a health education site with 1700 hours.

Im hoping to take the kaplan test soon so any advice would help too! Admissions stated that they would give me a May 19 or 20th test date.

Anyone know when we will hear back from admissions after taking the test?

Also what score is competitive?

Ohhh yes I had all pre requisites completed, my GPA is about 3.4

I got a 77 on the Kaplan and I do have all of my pre reqs done except for Sociology. I have taken Soc classes in the pass but it was 101 so I’m not sure if it’s going to count. I also applied last min. In terms of my science press, they are all done and I got a B in all of them

That’s great that you also improved your score!!

Yes YAS95 is right I've been trying to do this for a looong time I was always trying to get into College of New Rochelle then finally when I had all my pre reqs done at WCC and I re took the ATI for the 3rd time the school closed and merged with mercy. So I applied to monte and they lost my test scores, I applied to mercy but as a transfer student you have to wait for someone to drop out of the program, but in the mist of all this I applied to cochran sent in everything and just thought it was going to another no go cause the COVID turned everything upside down. Then I got an email to sign up for the test and to take it in a matter of days.

Everyone keep your heads up this is long and hard and sometimes your life might be turned a little sideways in the process but keep pushing and pulling and through!!!

Your sociology should count towards it Becuase I took basic sociology as well, and you seem to have good grades hold on to that hope!! And a 77 is great! The first time I took it although I got around your score, my GPA was like 3.1, so it was still very low I was missing some classes still.

Including nutrition and Developmental psych my pre req GPA is probably a 3.3

Thats a great grade!! And you have good grades in all your pre reqs I took Soc 101 too! Keep your eye on the prize!

Thanks for the input!! It’s nerve wrecking but I have hope ? good luck to everyone!!

Oh believe me I know, but keep that positivity flowing through you!!

I’m sorry that was a mis type, it WASNT soc 101. It was called sociology of gender, so since it wasn’t 101 I’m not sure if it will count but we shall see. I read for the day program you don’t need all of your pre reqs

WOW! thats amazing, hey the struggles is what makes this even better!! I happy for you!! I understand completely I have been in this journey since 2016 With many ups and downs, I took my pre reqs in BMCC for their program and I wasn’t even allowed to sit for the test in 2018 LOL and finally I got in to the school I actually wanted. Sometimes waiting is key!!

and you applied for the day or evening??
