Applications start next Monday and I was wondering if anyone wants to share their science GPA or PAX scores? I am taking my exam tomorrow evening (cutting it close). I am so nervous for this application. We can utilize this thread to also talk about upcoming interviews and who got accepted and with which stats.
The above link is a resource for those who need help calculating their GPA. Plug in the following classes and your grades.
EN 101 English Composition I 3 credits
PSYC-101 Psychology I 3 credits
MATH-119/MATH-336 Math I 3 credits
BI-301 Anatomy and Physiology I 4 credits
Total Pre-Clinical Credits - 13
As per their website the following substitutions are allowed for an overall stronger GPA.
Bio-302 for Bio-301
Eng-102 for Eng-101
PSYC-220 for PSYC-101
And I was told by the nursing department to substitute my A&P I score (B-) for my A&P II score (A).
My GPA with the adjusted grade came out to 3.677 and it's making me so stressed.
Once I receive my PAX grade I will respond to this post.
Hopefully starting this conversation will help someone as I found previous posts like this comforting and full of information (dates of when interviews are scheduled, when acceptances/rejections are sent out, when the program begins, etc)
Studying for the pax I used the Red NLN RN Pre-Entrance EXAM book that was suggested, the practice exams provided by NLN website, the NLN PAX app on iphone and quizlets (although quizlets were just a lot of regurgitated from the NLN website)
For some background information, I applied previously to an accelerated private school program and got in, however that school was not yet accredited and I did not want to gamble with loans. I took the HESI for that school and got an almost perfect score (subtle brag) but I definitely felt that compared to the content on the PAX, the HESI exam was easier and it did not have a physics topic.
Sorry for the long post, but Good Luck EVERYONE (if anyone sees this post, ever)
So with regards to the interview, since I heard that it is going to be a group interview, for those that already took the interview, does everybody just speak one by one, going to the next person or is it like popcorn style where anyone can speak if he or she wants to?
I was scheduled for the 17th but it's impossible for me to get off of work since they scheduled it at 2 in the afternoon, I asked them to reschedule for a different time and they said they would get back to me. -_________- I haven't gotten a rescheduled date. I don't have high hopes unfortunately 😭

I'm happy you got an interview email at least! There is hope!!

I just received email my interview tomorrow will be virtual instead of in person. Not sure why..
So I recently finished my interview today. To be honest for me, it felt less like an interview where you have to be giving correct answers to each question and more like a chill group conversation. For our group, we just went from the right most person to the left most person, where the professor would give a unique question to each of us to really get a feel for you as a potential future nurse. We did two rounds of this and at the end of each round, people are free to chime in on their opinion. Towards the end, everyone asked questions to the professor. Overall, the vibes were nice! Also for those with medical experience, you should mention that too during the interview.
Now for those that are taking Microbiology during the Summer, the professor said you are on pending status. So I guess you are kind of on a waitlist and once your Microbiology grades post. Only then can you be accepted to the Fall 2024 Nursing program. So it is possible for you to not get the acceptance until July for those taking Microbiology during the Summer. Anyway, good luck for anyone taking the interview in the coming weeks!

Thank you for the info!
Do you think they'd send an email to let us know we're in pending status or we just won't hear back until July.
