    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...

    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....

    @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

    @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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Episkey replied to Bookish_SN's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

    Episkey replied to Bookish_SN's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
