Hi all! Well I finally got my scores on Saturday. I did alright. I got a composite score of 127 and was ranked in the 88/89th percentile. The vocab was the hardest for me. The science was the second hardest. I did the best in math which is really funny because I stink in math, or so I thought. I'm sure you'll get your scores soon. Mine took so long because over 22,000 people took it nationwide so it took a while to score them all.

When I called PBISON in January to make sure they received all my paperwork they told me the admissions committe starts meeting in March. I hope the woman that told me that was right. I'm pretty sure she is so it may not be that long before we hear something.:) Keep your fingers, toes and everything else that you can cross crossed. :lol2:

Hi Kulara and Starlette! I wanted to know...did you guys apply to any other nursing schools? I didn't and I can't apply to the nursing program at QCC until after this semester is finished. The next time they accept applications will be in Oct. so if I don't get into Beth Israel I have to wait. :crying2:

I'm going to call next week to double check on when the committe starts looking at applications. I'll keep you guys posted on what I find out. The waiting never ends!!!

Jayzelena - Congrats! You did very well on the test Good for You!

I also applied at Nassau Community, Farmingdale, and St. Pauls (Which I wouldnt go to even if I get accepted because they are not NLN accredited school I recently found out). I have my heart set on Farmingdale or Nassau. I really want to go to Phillips BEth Israel also even though it would be a huge commute but its worth it because I hear nothing but wonderful things about the school. HOnestly, anywhere I get accepted I'll be happy. I am taking Sociology this summer so I too would be able to apply for QCC for next year as well. But lets just pray that I....actually that WE get in this semester so we don't have to worry about next year

Kuklara I'm praying right along side you. I check my email everyday thinking there may be something there. :lol2: Thanks for the congrats. That was a really hard test. I hope all 3 of us get in so I'm gonna say a prayer every single day until we hear something.

I heard the same thing you did about St Paul's not being accredited and their tuition is higher than Beth Israel's...go figure. I have their application but I'm getting rid of it. Don't want to go to a school that's not accredited. Keep me posted and let me know if you hear anything and I will do the same.

OMG guys I wasn't expecting my scores until next week since it took so long for you guys to get them but I did so well! Composite score of 140 and overall 97 percentile! I did HORRIBLE on verbal like I thought I did, but I guess my strength in math and science helped out.

I really hope we all hear soon. This long wait and anxiety will all pay off in the end!!!

jayzelena, the school should be emailing us with regards to the application status?

Good for you Starlette! Lets just pray we all get good news from admissions

jayzelena · Mar 8, 2010

Congratulations Starlette!!! So happy for you! Yes, I hope we hear something soon...the waiting is killing me!

jayzelena,

did you call them and find out what your status was? I am trying to call but there is no answer. MG is not there until the 15th so I feel like trying to get in touch with them is going to be hard...I want to make sure they got my scores!

jayzelena · Mar 8, 2010

That's so funny! I've been trying to call MG all day. :lol2: I have MS's number. Maybe she can give you some insight. When I called last week she said she was in meetings all day so maybe the committe has started to meet already. I hope so. I'm dying here. I just tried to call MS but there was no answer. Maybe they are meeting!! :yeah: Try calling around 2, that is when I got in touch with MS the last time. I'm gonna try again around 2 too. Let me know if you find out anything and I'll do the same.

I called last week and was told we should get letters in April.

If anyone is getting any better info when they call let me know I'll try calling again.

O man I hate waiting!
