NLN scores high enough?

Hi. I took the NLN on January 7th and I got my results yesterday. It reads as follows:

Composite score: 123 Composite percentiles: DI (90) AD (84) ALL (85)

My percentiles for the ALL section is 64 (verbal), 92 (math), and 68 (science)

The school I am applying to requires 50 percentile or better. I am not sure if this is good enough though, I know nursing schools are very competitive! I am applying to a few, but hoping to get into Rivier College in Nashua NH. Please let me know how these scores are!

It will vary from school to school and even from semester from semester.

The semester I got admitted into my program, the NLN cutoff score for admittance was in the low 90's. However, a few semesters before that a friend of mine got into the program with an 82.

The score I am referring to above is the percentage score (which I think is the "composite percentile" "ALL").

I would contact your school to see if they can give you an idea of what a good score is. Or, any Rivier College students on here with the inside scoop?
