Lehman college 2016 admittance

Published

I am applying to Lehman College's nursing program for this upcoming August and was wondering what my chances were. I just took my HESI exam and did pretty terribly on the Critical Thinking section (780). The other portions, I did fairly well. Math (98%), Reading (88%), and Anatomy (88%). My pre-req GPA is a 3.74. My overall GPA is close to a 3.5. I was wondering what my chances were with the 2 year program. One of the faculty told me that the critical thinking score was pretty low, but I should apply anyway. Do I have any shot at getting in? Thanks.

Want me to cut straight to the point? You're pretty much in...with those stats, you are all but guaranteed to find an acceptance letter in your mailbox this summer. The critical thinking score is pretty much just to see what chance you have at passing the NCLEX and they always put 750 as the benchmark on the HESI's as a good inidicator you will pass the NCLEX. So, I wouldn't worry.

Hey!!! You have some good stats. I think you'll get in.

I just finished taking the Hesi exam. My overall score 89%. Math 94%, Reading 92%, A&P 80% (so glad I passed this section), Critical Thinking 910. I hope to get accepted with these scores. My science GPA is a 3.85 and I'm taking Orgo now, which is my last pre-req.

I ended up applying too, but my GPA is too low I think. So hopefully I get into the 2 year program.

Hi guys, thanks for setting up this trend. I applied for the accelerated program, too. I had HES1 cummulative scored of 91.33%: Maths 96%, ENG 90%, A&P 88% and 800 in critical thinking. My pre-req GPA is 3.92 but taking organo right now. Do I stand any chance? Am a bit nervous about this!

I believe ya'll should start hearing from Lehman by Friday. Last year, I received my acceptance email on June 17th. Majority of the students who got accepted in the first batch got their acceptance emails between June 16th-June 30th. If you do not get an acceptance email between this time does not mean you aren't accepted. My best friend got her acceptance late July. Good luck everyone!
