I am not sure whether st. vincent requires TEAS... TEAS at Norwalk isn't that bad. They recycle the old exams. anyways.... Do you know the requirements for the Nursing at St. Vincent? Thanks!!

Yes. Simple rejection is better than being #175. It saves time and humilation. Actually there is no difference between these two. This application procedures is total bs. I didn't say I was proud of my sister's grade. She worked hard in her own best way and she doesn't need to go through that hell again. Retakes are not good either and no body retakes course unless it is below B. If you know so much about which grades are better, then I wonder why you didn't apply to four year institution. I 'm sure they would have accepted you. I feel that elderly people are more harsh and nasty as opposed to young people who doesn't call others failure Anyway I'm done with this discussion.

Their procedures are wrong. They should just do rolling admissions.

No. micro and psychology does not count towards her GPA. Her advisor confirmed it. She is my sister not babysitter. And sure if they really want excellent students, why even put C+ as a requirements? Her orgo chemistry is good enough and people should appreciate that. Believe me, I also applied to pharmacy school and people with grade like my sister gets in. As long as she didn't get like C- or F it shouldn't be a problem. There many kinds of application process including rolling admissions, which many school uses. why does Gateway have 175 students in the waiting list? NO SCHOOL have a waiting list exceeding 50. I don't know about you, but me and my sister have history of applying to different type of colleges and have general idea about the admission process, and what Gateway does makes no sense. Sorry to be harsh but I don't think anyone should comment on whether my sister's grades suck or not. I mean times change, college applications change.

Hey I gotta questions for you. My baby sister applied to Gateway. She has B in her Anatomy I and B-In anatomy II. A in her calculus, A- in English, B+ in computer, C in her orgo lab and B- in organic chem lecture (they do take orgo). She has 76 in her TEAS. She also has BA degree in biology at UCONN. When she applied, she got 121 out of 175. Is this based on the lottery? Or the grade ranking? I mean how is this possible? Do you know any one that was in this position? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it was kind of confusing. I mean I don't see the point of having that much students in a wait list. If they put students as #150 or even #175, it's kind of cruel. How about just rejecting them and have 40 waiting list people? That makes more sense. I haven't seen any students registering for Gateway for some reason. Most of the nursing school are being filled up.

Hey guys, how many students are in the waitlist for the schools you applied? I applied for Gateway as a first choice and Norwalk Community College as a second choice. I got a letter from the gateway indicating that I'm #35 out of 175 students. Does that only comprise of Gateway students or does that include second choice school as well or maybe all 6 schools? Do we get wait list from the second choice too? I mean what is the point of Gateway having wait list of 175 students, if 3/4th of them are not going to be accepted anyway? I mean I don't even know whether I'm in wait list for second choice. By the time the first choice school spots are all filled, the second choice school spots would be filled. Sorry it was a lot of question, but I hope someone could help me with this! thanks so much!
