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.

Back in March I asked the Chair what was the passing grade on the Hesi for critical thinking. She said 800 was the cut-off. She told me I could retake the exam if it was offered through another school. So that's what I did.

I didn't get in this year then.

I wouldn't say that. The dept is always changing their policies and admission standards. One of my classmates told me that a nursing advisor said he should be fine with a critical thinking score of 730.

i dont think you should give up yet. They are still sending out decisions and till you receive the email stating you were rejected dont give up. I experienced the waiting and i know its the hardest thing to do but please keep hoping. Good luck!!

I called earlier and she said the cutoff for the CT was an 800 and basically said I was rejected by the tone of her voice haha..shoot.

I'm sorry to hear that! But I wouldn't get to worked up about it until you receive an official notice from the department.

I'm not worked up. I'm just a little disappointed and trying to come up with things to do until next year. Definitely have to get over an 800 on CT next time haha
