  1. BMCC Spring 2020 Applicants

    I haven’t gotten any calls ?
  4. BMCC Spring 2020 Applicants

    I also took the TEAS. I used the Kaplan study guide, and 2 different TEAS guides. I just kept taking the practice tests over and over again. I actually scored similarly on both tests in Reading(95%/91.5%), Writing(86.6%/83%) and Math(100%/100%), but ...

    P.S. For any of you wondering how to calculate your ranking score. Take your GPA, divide by 4.0 (the max GPA you can get at BMCC) and multiply by 50. Example: a 3.75 gpa and a 78% kaplan score. 3.7/4.0 = 0.9375 0.9375 * 50 = 46.875 Then take your Kap...

    @Jazz125 I read in the BMCC 2019 thread that the cutoff for the previous year was 83.38. Not sure what the lowest score for last semester was though.
  7. BMCC Spring 2020 Applicants

    @JAB Looks like your ranking score would be 45.625 (gpa) + 39 (kaplan) = 84.625. It's above the average of last year's cohorts so I think you have a chance, but it depends on what everyone scored this year, and if you're applying for the day or nigh...

    @bookish_RN Found my booklet & the times listed. Thank you!
  9. Considering changing careers

    I'm 34, with a 1 yr old. I went back to school (pre-reqs at BMCC) 2 years ago. The last 2 years have been surprisingly amazing. I didn't get great grades in undergrad, and certainly didn't take any bio, math or chem in college, as I had nightmares fr...
  10. BMCC FALL 2019

    Hi, I am currently waiting to hear back if I got in for the day program this Spring 2020. Are any of you in the day nursing program that can let me know what your weekly schedule is like? I am trying to sort childcare arrangements, and wanted to see ...

    Assuming we’ll find out before they close for winter break. Just a couple weeks!
  12. SUNY Downstate ABSN 2020-2021

    Good point! I'm just being impatient and paranoid because my status still says "Screening in Progress" / "Application Status: Office of Student Admissions Evaluator Review". My undergrad grades from 14+ years ago were mediocre, (though my prereqs fr...
  13. SUNY Downstate ABSN 2020-2021

    Do people get notification if they haven't been admitted? I haven't gotten called for an interview, but if I didn't even make the cut-off for that, then I'd like to know so I can look into other schools, instead of waiting another month or two.
  14. BMCC Spring 2020 Applicants

    I received both emails. It was sent out to everyone. I guess it depends on how everyone did? It looks the average Kaplan score is in the 70s? And the pre req GPA calculated in the ranking just includes the 4 core classes? (MAT 104, ENG 101, PSY 100...
  15. BMCC Spring 2020 Applicants

    So it’s about a 50% acceptance rate (of students eligible to take the Kaplan)? I tried to calculate how many people were taking the test (from the sign-in sheet we checked during the first in-person meeting), vs the number of available seats, but, of...
  16. BMCC Spring 2020 Applicants

    I had Professor S. Salm for micro. She is amazing! I was so interested in micro after everyone warned me how hard it was. She really seems like she cares about her students. Also, I just took the Kaplan this morning. Anyone else? I got an 88% overal...
  17. SUNY Downstate ABSN 2020-2021

    This is so nerve wracking! Happy to hear people have started getting called in for interviews! I think I had read in another thread somewhere that they conducted group interviews; was that the same case this time? I submitted my application late O...
  18. SUNY Downstate ABSN 2020-2021

    Hi all, Just got my TEAS score back (91.5 Reading, 100 for Math and 78.7 for Science). Obviously annoyed I was a question away from the "preferred 80%", but I don't think I can retake the test again before the deadline. The email said it the transcr...
  19. Suny downstate absn 2018-2019

    I’m female but unfortunately know about the male skew. I wonder if they aim for a certain number of male applicants per year.
  20. Suny downstate absn 2018-2019

    Hi! Wish I had found this thread sooner! I submitted my application at the end of October; I just need to upload my exam scores. I’ve been using multiple practice TEAS books but I found many of the reading passages were questioned to intentionally tr...
