Queensborough Community College (QCC) Fall 2024

Published

Hello Everyone, 

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. 

https://www.calculator.net/GPA-calculator.html

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)

I just got my email for the interview. They only sent it to my QCC email though.

Did they send the invitation for an interview to your school email or personal email?

I only received it on my school email. I think because I put down the school email on the application

Very general questions in the interview.

Things like who is your inspiration? How do you keep current with news of diseases? What makes a successful nursing student? 

She said we'll be emailed whether we got accepted/rejected.

It was very easy-going. Our interviewer is pretty nice and has a good sense of humor.

OMG what. Already a second interview?

Does that mean I didn't make the cut?

Oh wow? Interesting. Let us know if it's any different from the first one.

I don't think it means that. In previous years people were accepted into the program after having only one interview. I bet you're fine.
