FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

Published

Hello everyone, I did not see a post for the fall 2014 semester, so I wanted to get it started. I applied to the 2014 summer semester and now I am waiting on my acceptance or denial letter. I am starting this forum just in case i do not get in for the summer. My total score right now is 169.96. I have 97 points for my classes and 72.96 points from the NAT. I am currently taking statistics and humanities, in hope of getting an A in both of them to boost my score up to 178.96. I made a C in A&P 1, my first humanities class and PSY1012. I also made a B in college algebra and that is what got my score down so low. I hope that the low cut off score trend continues to give me a good chance of getting in. The last 3 semesters were 175.96, 187 and 187. I am preparing to retake the NAT in late May to be in time for the June 1st deadline with plenty of time to study for the NAT. I look forward to meeting you all, and hear how things are going for you, so we can encourage and support one another.

Hi, could you PM me those tips on improving scores on the NAT pls? Appreciate it! :)

Random question guys, I took English 1 and 2 (Got a B in English 1 and A in English 2)..So will they take in account my highest English (in this case English 2) when I apply? Or do they strictly stick with the English 1 score?

Also why do many nursing hopefuls stress over their Chemistry grade if its only a preq to Micro? Or do they also take Chemistry into account when getting accepted?

Thanks guys!

Hi anestesia. They only look at ENC1101. They do not take into account chemistry.

I printed the transcript from Connections, and when I turned in my packet today, they said it was acceptable.

Hello everyone. Kinda late in joining. I just retook my NAT to improve my academic ap section and ended up improving all 3. I was excited. I also turned my app in yesterday. I went from a 92.8 to a 115.2 on my NAt test. I was thrilled. I applied for Summer 2014 and went into it with 167.8 points. I have now finished micro, human growth, sociology, and a humanties. So my score going in now including my 5 years work experience is 245.2. I am crossing my fingers because we are scheduled to change duty stations in October 2015 and this is my last hope to get school done before we move. Good luck to everyone.

That is a great score! I was glad that I took the Nat over 3 months ago because I was able to retake it and improve my score as well. I had an initial score of 192.34 and increased it to 223.68 after retaking the NAT. Unfortunately, I do not have any work experience:bluecry1:. I think the initial time I was nervous and unsure of the test, so I didn't do as well. But, I am very thankful that I thought ahead to take it in January to see where I stood! Did you take Micro with Prof. Lorincz?

I did have her... loved her. Ended her class with a 98.8. As for my NAT. I had a raw score of 33 and 79 Reading comp adn science respectively and originally a 33 in the academic Ap. Because of the math I only got 29 questions done the first time. When I retook the test I christmas treed the math questions and was able to answer all 90 questions with 8 minutes to spare. I used those 8 minutes to go back starting with question 1 and do the math questions correctly. This way I maximized how many questions I got done and since math doesn't count toward total point I improved my academic ap score from a 33 to 64! I was excited. Also I actually improved my reading comp and science scores to 34 and 82 respectively as well so that brought me up to the 99% from 98% in those categoeries. I was very happy. That is my little tip for the academic ap section. Good luck to you. 223.68 is awesome as well. I think 240 is the best you can get with no work experience and 260 with work experience. If I remember correctly the best anyone has done I think was 230 but I am not sure. So great job.

I'm not trying to split hairs here. But the packet says 120 for NAT, 120 for GPA, and 20 for up to four years experience in the past five years. Regardless the scores I have been seeing are awesome :)

Hello All!! I am new to the site. Any tips for taking the NAT would be helpful.

I am currently taking A&P2 (summer 14) and will be taking MCB2010C in the Fall with Prof. Finch. The rest of the pre-reqs have been completed.

I am hoping to either apply to the program Aug1-October....or if my scores arent up to par, i'll apply in December.....Anyone else in my shoes?
