For people applying to J. Sargeant Reynolds Spring 2016 cohort of the Nursing School.
Hello...I applied for Fall 2015 and did not get in, my overall score was 79. My score was not the reason I did not get in. There was some confusion on what calculated for the GPA requirement.. I thought they only looked at the 4 classes needed to apply (which I got 2 A's and 2 B's in those), or your total cummulative (which I cut it very close due to bad grades I got 15-17 years ago), but neither was the case. Nonetheless, I was told I would be on the backup list just in case any one couldn't attend (because they had already sent those acceptance leters out and you can't take that back) and to reapply for Sping 2016 and resubmit the same info. They now say they've made it more clear to staff on what they look at, and I'm ok as far as meeting the requirements to be considered. My point is...when I spoke to the head of the dept, she ended up telling me where I would have ranked and based off my Kaplan score I would have been fine because the lowest accepted was a 77 (this was the deciding factor on if I would be placed on the backup list...but of course no one backed out of the program, so now I'm waiting with you guys!). I hope this helps ease your mind until the 6 week wait is over! However I will say, now that I've seen you guys scores, I'm nervous all over again!!! They are great!! Good Luck!

GOOD LUCK to everyone!!
I plan on handing in my application tomorrow for the traditional program
Math 89
Reading 86
Science 85
Writing 62
Admission score of 84.2
I am nervous that I didn't score high enough.
During the August meeting, Ms. Edwards said the Fall 2015 class had 180 applicants and only 80 got accepted.
When I go tomorrow, I will see if they will tell me the lowest Kaplan score of accepted applicants from the fall cohort.
From reading past posts on this site seems like the waiting period to find out if accepted is six weeks after application deadline
Going to be a nervous 6 weeks.
