Pundaa

I got a 3.15 GPA from Queens College when in high school which is their CollegeNow program. At Hunter I have a 3.94 with a 133 NLN test score but I still haven't gotten any email at all on if I was rejected or accepted. Apparently they wanted they wanted my transcript from the other College and I never sent it because it's all CUNY so I thought it would be fine. I've tried calling the pre-nursing adviser and emailing her but no response. I just want an answer on if I got in or not! But honestly I don't even know if they'd consider my application anymore so I think I've automatically been rejected seeing how everyone else has amazing scores. I don't know what to do anymore, help!!

Yeah thank you for all your answers and responses everyone! I'm just going to stick what I have now and do my best to get into hunters nursing school. Thanks guys!

I may be quite late for this but does that mean it'll take 4 years just to get an associates degree in QCC? Since you said it takes 2-4 semesters to complete the pre-reqs and another 4 semesters in the nursing program. Things might've been different now compared to before but now I know that QCC only offers an ADN.

I was thinking about that but the pre-reqs for Hunter are different than lets say QCC. In QCC I would need to take MATH-119/MATH-336, BI-301 and have pre-clinical credits, all of which I'm unable to take currently at Hunter. The other courses needed to apply are PSYC-101 and EN 101 both of which I will be taking at Hunter this fall but I still wont have the pre-clinical credits, math or the BI course needed to apply for the QCC ADN nursing program. So I would have to transfer after the fall semester to QCC and take the courses that I need to apply to get into the program and if I do get in, I'll have to take 2 years of classes to get my associates so the whole process would take 3 years just to get an associates degree. I think it's more time-worthy for me to just be in the BSN route since thats only 4 years and I won't be wasting my time. But now my next question is what if I don't get into the nursing program for Hunter? Would I have to transfer to another 4-year BSN program? I just want to take the best time efficient route to be an RN.

I've been looking but most other colleges require different pre reqs than hunter. Usually I would see 1 or 2 classes thhat they need which I don't have so does that mean I would have to take those classes at that school for a semester then apply to the nursing program there? It's not even guaranteed that I'll get in so I feel like I would be wasting my time to do all this

Yes I know I should've done my research and I deeply regret not doing so.. What happens if I don't get into the nursing program? For hunter I think it is 1 year of pre reqs then we can apply to the nursing program. A lot of people are telling me to have a backup plan if I don't get in but I don't know, what can I do? Should I apply to another 4 year college if I don't get in? I'm so confused

Ohh I see. Thank you both for answering. I was looking into 2 year programs but the one I wanted to go to is apparently the creme de la creme of ADN nursing in NY so I'm not sure if I could even get into it. If I tried to get into an ADN program now though, it would take about 2 1/2-3years total or maybe even longer just to get an associates and if that were the case I feel like I would be wasting my time and should just stay in this 4 year program for my bachelors.

Thank you for answer Rose, but I wanted to just know what is the best path to take and what are my options from here on forward. This may be ignorant of me but I know two nurses who graduated from Hunter College and they're both very successful which is why Hunter was my dream college from the beginning. One of them finished everything and became an RN in 3 1/2 years which is why I thought I could do the same but everyone is different.. I didn't really understand that certain schools don't offer an associates degree. I thought since they offered bachelors then of course they would have associates but yeah, I'll try not to make assumptions like that in the future.

Hello. I'm going attend Hunter College in 2 weeks for their nursing track and didnt know that they only offered a 4-year bachlors. What I wanted to do is take 2 years of nursing school for my associates and pass the NCLEX to become a RN so that I could move in with my boyfriend in Arkansas. After I get a job as an RN I would like to take online classes for my bachelors but I have no idea how to go about that.. I feel stuck with the 4 year program at Hunter and the nursing program is super competitive so I don't even know if I would get in. I think its too late to transfer now but is it possible to just take 1 year at my current school and then transfer to a nursing school and take another year there to earn my associates? Or would I be wasting my time and starting over? I thought it takes 2 years to get an associates but does that mean you can get it straight out of high school or does that mean taking pre-reqs and then another 2 years of school to become an RN? I feel so lost and confused right now but I know that I just want to move out and become an RN hopefully soon. Anyone know what options are there that are best suited for my wants?
