Has anyone applied for the Spring semester? I saw that test letters are being sent out next week and was curious to see who applied. :)

How did you guys do? I know when we tested, we all did the worst on AP so don't freak out if you did too. Our cutoff score for the fall was a 73.

Hey all i didn't make the cut unfortunately. I found myself struggling with time , over thinking and analyzing things. I am going to continue to work on my reading comprehension (he timing aspect) I found myself guessing answers to avoid running out of time. I found the Kaplan study book to not be too much help, however, the reading was the closest fit to the material. Math was by far the easiest! Congratulations to all applicants and especially those that got in!!!

Thank you! I made 87% overall, but A&P was by far my worst section. The website says the cutoff score this semester is 69% (I believe) so I am just waiting on the official acceptance letter now! So excited and nervous!

Congrats! I hadn't even been to the website to see that the cut off was posted. I'm in the program and theyve been keeping us busy! Keep an eye out for that packet because it will have a lot of info let me know if I can do anything to help you out.

I am starting the ADN program this January and I have a question for previous students. Are you able to work throughout the semester? I financially support myself. Although I have loans and savings, I still would need to maybe keep working part time to sustain myself.

Thanks,

Carolyn

Carolyn - you CAN work. I work full time and there are several other students that still work either PT or FT and have made good grades. I won't lie - it is not easy. I only get a few hours of sleep and you need to plan on getting as many assignments done ahead of time as you can (like math and terminology), but it is 100% possible.

I've heard it gets harder to work through 2nd semester, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'll have to report back on how that works out!

Thank you so much for your advice! It's nice to meet someone one step ahead to get tips from!

Thank you,

Carolyn
