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)
Ahh okay. Thank you so much for responding. Even though its last minute I have decided to take BI 302 in Summer, so I can take BI311 in fall and they can see my score for that class after I send in my application. If anyone sees this message, could you describe your Summer class experience of BI 302 or just any BI class (My professor for that class is -------------------------) and how they had to study
I had her in lab once as a sub and I really liked her. In lab at least, she would repeat everything over and over and went around to make sure everyone understood. Her rmp is kinda low but I would have taken an actual class with her.

Wow, thank you so much! Thats giving me much more confidence now
Hi I had a question pink_dandelion, you said you were taking A&P 2 and microbio this semester, does that mean we can take both classes at the same time? Also another question, has anyone gotten into the program without taking microbio?
I don't think I would have taken both at the same time, but I would take it at the same time as an easier class where you didn't need to study as much.
I have a friend who told me that she got into the nursing program w/o taking microbio, but it was only because someone had rejected their offer.
A current 202 student here. I see that a lot of you guys are frustrated by endless waiting, and wondering when you will know whether you were accepted to the program. So, I just checked my acceptance email from the department to see when it was sent (I applied for Fall 2022), and it was June 8th. I believe they will release early June.
