Hey guys! Starting a new thread for this upcoming application cycle for CT community college nursing program! This will be my second time applying I was waitlisted last year at Northwestern #9 and I don't think they're going to be calling me off. (At the time of application, I did not have anp2 or micro completed) Feel free to post stats, ask questions etc..Applying is so stressful and nerve-wracking, we're in this together and good luck to everyone!
I counted an elective when I calculated my nursing GPA but it was only 3 credits and really didn't make much of a difference. Yes, they will calculate your nursing GPA with transfer credits, the college itself doesn't do this on your transcripts but during the nursing program application they will. I had one C from almost 20 years ago I transferred over and it was included.

Holy ***! Howd you find out that they include them if you don't mind me asking?

did you attend an info session at your school of choice? They told us that during the info session. It makes sense because you can't have people transferring in 90% of their credits and then they only count 1 or 2 classes towards GPA. Some people apply to the program and have taken all their classes elsewhere and the CC are just a backup plan.

Oo okay I only have one class that’s a transfer but it’s from a school in ny. How are you feeling about your application?
I applied last year I got right into Gateway. That was my first time applying and my only school LOL. My rank was 93% but I was still worried because they can get over 1000 applicants for only 96 spots. Last year was supposedly the most competitive year for the CC programs.

Congrats! how is it? & 1000 students is insane. What is the lowest rank you’ve heard of them accepting?
I like it, I think the curriculum isn't that difficult but the NCLEX style questions on our exams can be tricky to understand. Don't forget though, out of all those applicants, some don't meet the qualifications to be accepted, some change their mind and don't want to go into nursing, some get accepted at other schools and don't accept the admission offer, some have financial/medical problems and defer or decide not to attend, some have A&P 2 in progress and don't meet the minimum pass score, some that are admitted don't get all the paperwork they need to begin classes on time, etc. I don't know what the lowest % rank is but I know people have been wait-listed and still got accepted from spots in the 20's and 30s.

Those applying to NVCC...do some of your items still say "Not Met"? I have a transcript that says not met, yet I called the school, they have it and it's posted on my commnet. I just don't want to miss something.

Same exact thing happened to me, my old college showed up on commnet but it said not met. I emailed the school and they fixed it. Email right away because the deadline for all requirements was like Jan 31st!

Same here this was my schools response “The Nursing applications are in the process of being reviewed. The checklist will be updated when your application is reviewed”.
mine also says "not met" for the A&P's but they are met and they are showing that they have the transcripts where they were taking. I'm assuming it will update as they review things...hopefully LOL
