What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their experiences and tips for getting into a nursing program. They emphasize the importance of good communication skills, patient advocacy, and sociability during interviews, rather than just focusing on grades and test scores. They also share information about the program schedule, group chats, and their individual academic backgrounds.

The application for 2025 fall term is starting in March, but I just want to have some discussions with you guys. Feel free to share your stats, like what you got on each pre-clinical course. I'll share mine first
English 1 - A
English 2 - A
Psychology 1 - A
Psychology 2 - A
Algebra - A
AP1 - B
AP2 - A or A- I am taking it right now
I didn't take the NEX exam yet, but feel free to tell us as much as you want about you

I think you can apply multiple times, so even if you don't get in for Fall 2025, you can apply again for Spring 2025 after completing all the recommended courses.

sorry I mean Spring 2026

 I've seen people say their GPA are like 3.84 or 3.5, but if we are only looking at the 4 preclinical courses, how is that possible? Does the overall GPA matter too?

I thought they also look at upper level courses that substitute your lower grades?

That's pretty good since York College doesn't allow any grade substitution. By the way, what do they ask you during the interview at both QCC and York?

Just general questions like tell me about your strengths and weaknesses, why do you want to become a nurse, which field are you interested in

Hi there can I ask you a question? 
can I apply for fall program even though I am taking AP2, ENG2, Psy2 on Spring semester? 

They do accept students who haven't finished Microbiology, but that's only if you are getting straight As this semester

But let's say I got a B in AP1 and an A- in AP2, do they care about the B? What if I get another B in microbio?

Do you know how  many times we can take pex and repeat a preclinical course (I didn't fail but I just want to boost my grade)

No way, there were people who got in with 3.1 GPA, and they didn't take micro bio, it's random. At least, our GPA and pex score aren't the only thing the school looks at

Anybody here got accepted?

I got an A- in AP 2, but I don't know if they care about that B in AP2. Does anyone know? 

I mean the B in AP1

Hi Dkdn, do you know if they let us retake a preclinical course? 

Hi Dkdn, do you know if they let us retake a preclinical course? I don't know how I did everything right, the homework, the project, quizzes, but I got a B in English. Maybe I did bad on the final, but how do I make up for it?

Also the NEX exam seems to be a new thing. I can only find preps for the old one called NLN PAX
