Hey guys! I know it’s kinda early, but I figured that I’d start a thread for the NCC Nursing applicants for Fall 2021. Here we can post our stats, discuss the program and freak out together while waiting for admissions decisions? here’s what my stats look like:
I took the TEAS this year (end of May 2020) and got a 77.3%. However, I’m retaking it in July for a more competitive, and hopefully an advanced/exemplary score!
Prerequisites that I completed (all from Suffolk CC):
Anatomy/Phys I: B
Anatomy/Phys II: B
ENG 101: B+ ENG 102 (Literature): A
Lifespan Dev: B
Modern American Hist: C
Psych: A
Statistics: A
Sociology: B
Western Civ: B
Medical Micro and Biomedical Ethics: To be completed during the Fall 2020 semester
Pathophysiology: To be completed during the Spring 2021 semester (hopefully!)
The only disadvantage I have right now is that I currently live in Suffolk County. I know that priority is given to Nassau residents, and I’m not really sure how the school calculates their admissions decisions (and I couldn’t find a rubric on the website). I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you, and hopefully we‘ll all be in Nursing school together one day!!
If you applied and haven't gotten a response email either nursing or admissions because I was accepted since the 21st and didn't get an email. So I emailed nursing today and I got the acceptance email. I'm not too sure what happened but I'm grateful I followed up. Please check!!
hi everyone who got accepted (or not) to NCC in this post, do you mind sharing your total point?
I asked the program coordinator but they said because each cohort was different, they couldn't tell me what a minimum point was. I'm sure they have historical statistics and data, but they don't want to share.
I have been doing nothing but freaking out about getting in. I also applied to Adelphi but I really want to go to Nassau’s program. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience at Nassau and I use the daycare for my daughter. After this semester I will have all of the non-nurses classes done besides the empire college classes.
My grades for prerequisites:
Eng composition 1 - A
Statistics - A
Anatomy 1 - B+
Anatomy 2 - A
Biomedical Ethics - A
Psych 1 and 2 - A
Taking this currently : Pathophysiology, Medical Microbiology, English 2 (Honors), and Spanish 2 (just for full time credit and if I needed to apply to stony brook you need two languages)
TEAS: 73.3- reading 80.9, math 65.6, science 78.7, and English language 66.7. This test was very hard for me. Hope it’s good enough to get in.
Applying to the Fall 2021 NCC nursing program. I have a 3.8 GPA and am not a Nassau resident. After this semester, I will have nearly all of the non-nursing classes done with mostly A's but I'm in progress right now with A&P2, Western Civ., lifespan dev., and biomedical ethics (I'm hoping the fact that these are 'in progress' will not affect my chances of getting in). I have a 76 on the TEAS which I'm slightly worried about- but if they are letting students in the way they did last semester, the amount of classes you have done is dominant over your TEAS score.
Good luck to everyone applying! This will not be the first time I've applied to their nursing program, but my stats have improved since the last time I applied so my fingers are crossed!
I just recently took the TEAS (last week actually) and got a 86%. I'm thinking of retaking for a more competitive, and hopefully an exemplary score!

Never applied to a program before.
My cumulative GPA us a 3.6 and prerequisite GPA is 4.0
I havent take medical micro or pathophysiology yet and won't be able to before the Fall 2021 deadline.
I'm also a suffolk resident.
I missed the deadline for Soring 2021 by a few days bc I still needed to take the TEAS at the time. Deadline was Oct 9... I took TEAS October 13.
I wanted to find a testing place that was in person as I knew a remote proctored test would be too distracting for me ( I have a 13 month old daughter)
Covid ended up canceling 3 other TEAS I had registered for in March. Ughh
Oh well. Everything happens first a reason, or so I tell myself.
Anyone applying for the 2nd or 3rd time? How have your stats improved? I'm so nervous
I feel like I've been "talking" about applying to a nursing program forever and now it's really happening.
Exciting and nerve wracking!
I'm applying to Farmingdale's advanced standing program too. Maybe Suffolk too?
Anyone else applying to other programs?
Also this would be my second degree. I feel "old" (I'm 35) applying but I know it's a mixed age group going in.
Honestly my mom went back to school when she was 48 to be a nurse (after no school since high school in 1978!) So if she can do it, so can all of us! I still don't know how she did it while going through a divorce and just beating breast cancer!
Hi there
I was perusing these comments for some encouragement and came across your post. I wanted to say you are not old at all! I wish I was 35 again and had taken the leap then.
As I continued reading, I saw that your mom, at age 48, returned to school. Im in the same boat as she. I decided last year to return to school with no real educational background, except 2 community college courses that I took back in 1993! I hated that experience but was so thankful that it paid off in the long run and both credits transferred. I would love to hear about your mom and how she got along. How is she? Is she happy with her decision, was it worth it?

Guys!
