I would love to know the answer to this question as well. I, too, received a D last semester. I was beside myself. I am taking it *again* currently with the same professor and I am going through tremendous amounts of anxiety over this. I am paying a ...

I guess I didn't. I haven't received anything via my e-mail. I am still taking my last pre-req though (which shouldn't matter). Just seeing what the general NLN scores/GPAs were for this year's admittance :).

Question: For all of you who got in, do you mind sharing your GPA and NLN score? (also, are any of you still taking your last pre-req by chance or did you finish everything up before this semester?)

People received a preliminary e-mail?

I can't tell if that "30 years olds are too old to be in college" was sarcastic, joking, trolling or really ignorant? Either way, it really is an incredibly ignorant statement considering 1) the age range on these boards and the age range of people ...

Oh and additionally, it's really not as simple as 'just take it again' for a lot of people either since we have a lot of time issues (we are older adults who have been doing the pre-reqs for quite some time and are at the cusp of starting a program)....

Actually that wasn't my point. My point is I still have a huge chance of getting in with my 3.89 GPA since that's 50% of the criteria. If I listened to the random (erroneous?) 'facts' thrown around here, I would think I don't have a chance.

Anna, you said "You still have a good chance of getting in but you need to score at least in the 140s to 150s on the nln." Are there that many people who have scores in the 140s and 150s? I ask this because I see these numbers thrown around as if it...

I am really, really struggling with O-chem currently. I am doing fine in the lab because we work in groups and to some extent things make sense. However, I am currently at Hunter College where there is 1 (yes only 1) O-chem professor and he is outrag...

Ironically, I took the rest of my pre-reqs at BMCC (great professors) and just transferred into Hunter this semester and this is my last pre-req (for Hunter). I already applied to their program for the fall so I can't really drop since I am in a time...

Wow. We literally went up to the cut-off of O-Chem topics and that was that. It was more an overview of Chemistry topics including a little bit of Bio-Chem but mainly inorganic chemistry concepts. I wish we had touched O-chem topics. I wonder if that...

I may try a tutor. Perhaps hearing things explained and having someone see where I am going wrong will help.

Hm. Perhaps I just need to read things over more? What I have been doing is first going through my current semester's text which is a bit dense very slowly. I take notes. Then I go through my other textbook to compare what I have taken notes on and s...

I actually explained that I received an A in Gen Chem which I took not even 2 semester ago. I did very well. It was taught in a progressive manner and I had a good grasp on it. What I explained was on this first test is not a 'review' of Gen Chem top...

We went from chapters 1 and 2 in the textbook to chapter 7 (skipping around). The 'sample' test is all about conformations, orbital hybridization, nomenclature, radicals. This is the first test of the semester. It doesn't seem very progressive but ra...

I did all of my pre-reqs aside from Organic Chem at BMCC and I highly recommend BMCC. I had some excellent science professors there. The classes were small and it felt like interactive learning. I am now in Hunter doing Organic Chem and wow, what a ...

I am currently attending Hunter (Spring 2010). I just literally transferred and went to the orientation. I am pretty much finished with all of my pre-reqs and have a semi-ok GPA (around 3.65). They let us know that we will have to take the NLN in Mar...

This whole process is depressing. I replied in the other NY forum but I am feeling despondent enough to reply here too. I have a really great GPA because I pushed myself to get As in everything (pre-reqs and even my non pre-req classes) for the last ...

My composite was 131. I guess it's not that great . Blah, whatever. We will see how everything goes. I am really bummed that they weigh the NLN so heavily to be honest. I have an amazing GPA in my pre-reqs and really in all my classes (I really push...

Allaboutme, You stated: " I heard you have to score higher than 95th percentile". Which percentile? If you notice there are 3 different percentiles listed. For example, my composite was 131 and my percentiles were: DI : 95 AD: 91 ALL: 92 Which one, I...

Adding to this thread too (even though I have another thread going about Hunter and the NLN ). I took mine on Wednesday afternoon. Composite score of 131. I am SO curious now about what everyone else got!

Oh, and in terms of amount of people. It looked like there were about 50 (maybe more? I was nervous) taking the test during the time slot when I took it today. But, there were 8 other test time slots aside from the one I attended? So, if there were 2...

Wow. I did not know you could get the score this quickly! The proctor told me it would take 2 weeks but I guess that meant by mail. I scored a 131. I don't know how good or bad that is since you are saying it is relative to whatever everyone else got...

Yeah, I actually literally took the test today. Despite telling us at orientation that the test was in March, they moved it up to this week (lots of disillusioned test takers and applicants taking the test today). I have no clue how I did. I guess I ...

Nobody knows the answer?
