Hello. I have a GPA of 3.75 and I'm taking my Pre-Entrance Exam for Nursing in a month. I'm applying for Spring Admissions. I just want to know my chances of getting in. The school I'm applying to screens on these areas:
50% - Pre-Entrance Exam Score
25% - Chemistry Grade
25% - GPA
I'm taking Chemistry in the summer so I'm not sure what my grade will be yet. But most likely an A or maybe even a B I'm studying for my Pre-Entrance Exam and am very nervous. Only 40 people are admitted during Spring Admissions.
What was your GPA and Pre-Entrance Exam score and did you get accepted? Do you think I have a good chance?
I had a 3.2 (the lowest in my program, don't tell anyone haha).
We took a compass exam and you received a number for how far you got in the exam.
I tested 99% up to calculus level on the math portion.
And I got a 100% on the English portion.
We then received a number score for the number of prerequisites we had already completed (I didn't have AP, chem, nutrition, micro, or stats so I took a hit on this portion).
Then your number score was determined (they accepted anyone above a 210, and anything lower than that was weighed with your GPA).
It's way complex, but they've changed the program since I was accepted two years ago.
I made a 97 on the NLN and had a 3.23 gpa. I had to interview at one program; got accepted into both programs I applied to. You should be fine. The waiting is the hardest part!
Overall GPA= 2.73 (pre reqs gpa was much better than this tho)
NET TEST= 91
Yes I got in. I'm pretty sure I had the lowest overall GPA accepted. They gave us a list with statistics on it and a 2.73-4.0 was the range that was accepted. Each category counts about half with extra points awarded for number of prereqs completed.
I'm studying for my Pre-Entrance Exam and am very nervous. Only 40 people are admitted during Spring Admissions.
