Denied but don't know why (Bergen CC Day Fall 2017)

Published

Hey all! This is my first post on here!~

So I applied to the Bergen Community College Fall 2017 Day nursing program. I kept on checking my emails to see if I got a new email. Well lo and behold, I log onto mybergen to find the dreaded "DENIED" admission status. I had to do a double take.

These were my stats:

  • bergen GPA of 4.0
  • I took a&p1
  • I graduated within the last 5 years so I checked "yes" for the high school chem requirement (on my transcript it says chem honors w/lab, I received a C, the minimum requirement)
  • However, I checked no for the college chem requirement
  • met the math requirement

I looked over the nursing admission process pdf on the bergen nursing website and it stated that if you graduated within the last 5 yrs from HS, then you don't have to take college chem. I am very stressed out right now. I'm speaking to admissions on monday and hopefully it'll get sorted out. But does anyone have an idea about why I got denied?

:crying2:

A quick look at the program showed me these requirements: BIO109 and BIO209; WRT101 and WRT201; PSY101 and PSY106; SOC101 - did you complete those?

I believe that's for the evening program. The day program doesn't require all of those pre-reqs. I did complete BIO109 WRT 101, WRT 201, PSY 101, PSY 106, & SOC 101 at the time I submitted the app. By next semester, I should be able to get into the evening but still super confused about why I was denied the day program.

just some things for thought -- how did you do on the Entrance exam... and according to their website they calculate your writing and science GPA.. so that C in CHEM maybe killing you... you may consider taking the college CHEM class to improve the grade during the upcoming semester to improve your chances for the next application period.

I got denied during the initial admission part of the program so I didn't even take the exam yet. Maybe the chem did really kill me and I'm taking college chem right now.

*EDIT: I confirmed with the bergen cc nursing website that they only look to see if you're eligible during the initial admission period. Quoted from their website:

If you have NOT met

the minimum requirements for entry into

the program, you will receive a letter from

Admissions stating ineligibility.
