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)
Its crazy because I know people who were in the process of taking it and still got accepted
That's definitely possible but I could see them asking for their current grades in that class to solidify if they were going to pass or not. If that student had low grades they probably denied them cause they were closer to failing.
Yeah I had a feeling that was the reason, it's the "chance" they don't wanna take. BUT if that's the case set it as a "requirement" and not as a "preference". Some ADN programs don't ask for it because it's already incorporated in the program itself.
exactly! and on the nursing page of QCC, in degree program details it states that the student will take micro with NU-102 in the same semester. They need to make up their minds. I also remember them accepting LPN's into the program. Which makes it more competitive for students who are matriculated at QCC and trying to get accepted into the nursing program. This program isn't meant to be a bridge LPN to RN program so I found that not to be fair. We also compete with people who are currently surgical technologists. They ALSO have a chance to apply and get in.

That's so insane OMG so does me putting that I'm not an LPN reduce my chances of getting accepted? 😞
When they normally giving out the decision letter? I heard sometimes on June or July after Summer class over and all grade post. Well, maybe we all should have plan B, just in case.. 😞😞
