I got into my second choice GWCC with GCU (MSN)!! ?? I had 84.4 points!

Hey all! ?? Thought I would jump on here before we find out the results! I applied to CGCC, GWCC, and PC with GCU as my university. I’ll be doing the MSN program as I already have a bachelors degree. My total points are 84.4! I’m so nervous! I feel like I’ve been trying for forever to get into a nursing school. Good luck everybody!

Congrats! I hope you enjoy the program!! Thank you, I will definitely have to do something to increase my chances next semester. I'm also keeping my options open.

Lizeth-prenursing Did you get accepted to the Yuma campus? I also received my email today but sadly did not get in.

No, I took my Pre-reqs through the NAU flagstaff campus. I will have to relocate to Yuma if I get accepted. What about you?

I totally feel ya, I have a pretty low GPA of 3.3 as well so I'm really not getting my hopes up. I'm working on rebuilding my GPA but it's taking some time lol. But I figured why not at least try to get in this time.

Hey, Lizeth! I'm happy to hear that someone else is trying for Yuma! Hopefully we will get in together! Yes I have already taken my Kaplan. I didn't do too well on the science and writing portions and it brought my overall score down pretty low. I met the minimum requirements basically. My advice is to spend a lot of time studying A&P II . That is all the science portion is on. Since you haven't completed the class yet I would recommend using outside resources to guide you. I used khan academy videos on YouTube to help me study. The thing that really tripped me up on the science portion is that there are two correct answers for most questions ( my advisor told me they do this on purpose because as nurses we are going to need to be able to use our best guess in critical situations). So make sure you narrow down the two correct choices and make your best inference. Make sure you know the processes of the respiratory, cardiovascular, immune and gastrointestinal systems. There are also questions on neurology, endocrine system, hematological system, and the renal system. Make sure you know how homeostasis works and electrolyte balance. This quizlet I found has some pretty good practice questions NAU KAPLAN Flashcards | Quizlet As for the writing I would invest in an SAT writing prep book. This is something I didn't do but I wish I did. I got a 50% in writing and I consider myself a good writer. I will admit I didn't study at all for writing or reading because they are my strongest subjects but I definitely regret not studying for the writing. Reading was simple, I got a 90% on it without really studying. Math was really easy, I got an 89% on it and I would consider math as one of my worst subjects. It was mostly like adding/subtracting fractions, changing decimals, ratios, word problems,etc. To study for the math portion I went online and found some fraction/ decimal work sheets and printed them and did a few every day. I also looked up videos on how to calculate dosage because I had heard there were some dosage questions on the test, there was only 1 question on it on my test but I would still recommend watching videos on how to do it since it's useful information. Overall I was pretty disappointed in my Kaplan score as it meets the minimum requirement. I really hope it doesn't hurt me too bad in the application process but if I don't get in this round I will try again and hopefully be more prepared on my weaker sections. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I took my Kaplan a few weeks ago so it's still pretty fresh in my mind!

Hey guys! Kind of surprised nobody has started a thread for the Fall 2018 application cycle. Comment which cohort you're applying to! I am applying to Yuma as my first choice! I'm really praying that I get in! Anyone else trying for Yuma?? Best of luck to everyone!
