My name is Nicole. I made this forum to connect with potential Mt Sac nursing students who may be applying for Fall 2019 admission. I'm am applying and wanted to see others status’s, and maybe gain some insight on what is to come. This is my second time applying to this program; unfortunately didn’t have enough points the last time. As of right now, I have 74 points as long as I’m calculating correctly. Having an associates degree gives me 8 points, science gpa gives me 30 points, overall course work gives me 4 points, work experience gives me 5 points, life experiences gives me 2 points, I got a 89.29% on my HESI which gives me 25 points; totals 74. I know 74 points is pretty low so I am not getting my hopes up. Will be applying again for Spring 2020 if I do not have enough points this time. At that point I will have 77 points, which is still not a for sure in, but I will continue to try to raise my points until it’s enough. I may also start looking into other programs to apply to. Anyway, I’d love to from other potential student. How many points are you applying with? Applying to other school? Any advice? Etc.
I actually didn’t get one for some reason. What day did you receive yours? What date did you apply? You had 74 pts?
That's really weird, maybe it's in the spam folder or something?? I have 74 points for sure. I received my email on last Thursday 3/7 and I applied pretty late, around Feb 19.
I just had my counselor app. Originally i calculated 91 pts but it turns out to be 86. Counselor gave me my points and filled out a check list for me and another sheet to give the nursing department if i get the invitation. She said i have a high chance of getting in, but apparently there are tons of students applying with bachelor degrees so its cutting the bar even higher.
@nicoleb91 I had my appointment on Tuesday. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t get any answers for you. My counselor had no idea of the cut scores for this semester are. All he knows is that there’s 20 people on the alternative list. He also mentioned that no one has been granted a spot in the rn program yet because they are still processing and confirming all of the applicants documents. Make sure to check your mtsac email and not your personal email. If someone else has 74 points and gotten an appointment and you didn’t then you should probably call them and follow up with your application to make sure they didn’t miscalculate your points. Do this now because no official seats has been secure yet
