J Sargeant Reynolds Fall 2014

If this has already been posted somewhere, please direct me (I couldn't find anything)

Any one else here applying for fall? If so, I'd like to see how we stack up. Two months of waiting is going to drive me crazy!

My overall GPA is 3.5, the GPA of my pre-nursing requisites is 3.8, and my kaplans are:

95 reading

96 math

81 writing

55 science

admission score 81.9 points

To follow up to this -- per the director of nursing applications, the Kaplan can be taken twice every two years. You both have solid scores, so even if it were twice in a lifetime, I would definitely not worry about it too much! I will, however, say the students I've communicated with so far all have GREAT scores. This seems to be a very competitive pool... As expected

I attended the 5/13 information session and there were easily 100+ people there also, but that's a bit misleading because a lot of them have missing requirements, or simply were attending a semester in advance. Per research and inquiries, I'm estimating there to be around 300 applicants with 70 seats available.

300 applicants???! WOW! That just made me a little nervous.....But it does make me feel better that the cut off last years was 69 points! Thanks for the info!

I was told the cutoff was 69... But I haven't seen a single student with anything less than an 80 so far. Perhaps I've only talked to those that are getting an acceptance letter ; ) post back here once you receive a decision!

My scores: Math 94, Reading 93, Writing 73, Science 60. I'm surprised how difficult science was. I did well in AP 1 & 2, yet struggled with Kaplan science. Writing was annoying, but not too bad, math and reading we're obviously easy to me.

I will def post back and you do the same! Quick question.....how many people have you spoken with personally? I don't personally know anyone applying this semester.

Only those that we're submitting the application at the same time as myself. I hand delivered it, and while I was there I spoke with 5 or so, and saw others submitting applications. One girl had a 92 on the Kaplan! Others had 85+. I'm sure that's not a strong indicator of the pools average, but it is an indicator of how competitive it is.

I'm so anxious! One down five weeks to go fellow applicants : )

I've been doing research on the Kaplan. It seems to be similar to the TEAS, and our scores are high for both tests. I am almost certain that both of you are in. I'm right below you so we'll see!

I hope we all get in... It's been three weeks now since the application deadline, and I'm so anxious to know. With so many applicants and such competetive scores, anything goes. I know registration for the fall starts in the middle of July, so I'm trying to plan out my semester... Y'all better post as soon as you get your letters!

I emailed the applications director for any possible update, and received the typical, copy and paste 'as stated in the printed information and information session letters will go out in six weeks' lol! My plan is to bug them again around week 5 because I've heard of people receiving notifications over the phone before getting the letter.
