Will I get into Cuny City Tech Nursing Program for spring?

You need to take the remedial course before the pre-req math; in this case, I'm assuming you're referring to the MAT 1175, and MAT 1275. However, I got around this by going to the admissions office in N-109 (i think) and speaking to someone. I asked if there was a way to bypass the remedial since I had gotten reading and math exemptions after passing my CUNY entrance/placement exam (forget the exact name, but its the test that they give to all incoming freshmen.) Anyway, the man I spoke to said that if I scored higher than a certain score on the math, then I wouldn't have to take the remedial. He checked my scores and he waived the remedial course and signed me up for the MAT 1275.

They don't just look at any Bio, Mat, Psy, Eng credited courses. They look for specific ones, check their website or with their office for which ones, but the Math class they are looking for is MATH 1275, which requires you to pass MATH 1175. Aim for nothing below a B+ in those classes, or you might not be considered as a nursing student candidate. They take nursing students in the spring and the fall. So if you haven't accomplished these classes by then, apply next fall and take the other general education classes until then.

To be honest though, you'd be doing yourself a tremendous service if you were to complete all, or a good chunk of, the general education requirements before you apply for the nursing program. Some of the nursing courses have some co-requisites; and they're just an added burden to the studying. Good luck!
