Im seventeen years old. I have my general education diploma (G.E.D) I would like to attend nursing classes at MedCentral College of Nursing in the fall of 2012. I will be almost 19. I recently received a brochure in the mail about the classes and the requirements for attending the College. Under Admission Requirements it says, "The College invites and maintains a policy of rolling admission. In order for a student to be considered for admission to MedCentral College of Nursing, candidates must submit an application and application fee, official high school or General Education Diploma (G.E.D) transcripts and results of American College Testing Program (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) examination. Although it is not required for admission to MedCentral College of Nursing, an on campus visit with the Office of Admission is highly recommended. It is recommended that a student who is interested in applying for admission meet the following criteria:

-A cumulative grade point average of 3.0, although all applications with less than a 3.0 will be reviewed for their merit and scholarly activity.

-Achieved a composite score of 21 on the ACT or 1050 on the SAT

-Participation in co-curricular activities.

-A proven desire to excel in scholastic achievements."

My question is since I dropped out of school before taking my SAT or the ACT, are the transcripts and results of these tests still required with my application? And if so how do i go about taking these tests? Also, because i missed so much school my grade point average was only like 1.2 and I never participated in any co-curricular activities…will this hurt my chances of being accepted or even considered being accepted into the college? When I was in 7th grade I took the practice SAT and scored very high. Also, throughout the years my scores for the Ohio Proficiency Tests were always way above average in every area. And also my practice Ohio Graduation Test scores were very high.

I have made mistakes in my past but I am now trying to make something of myself and turn things around. I dont wont my past mistakes to hold me back from doing what I would like to do in my future.

I want to know if the 30 composite score is better than my SAT scores?

Here’s how I did

Composite = 30
Math = 36
Reading=24 (The time was too short)
Science = 33
Writing not available yet (I did write more than on SAT)

SAT
Composite = 1860

Critical Reading = 600 (I thought I could of done better)
Math = 770
Writing part = 490 (I just can’t write in time allowed, only about 250 words)

I want to get into a demanding major (Computer Science) they want combined math/reading to be 1450 minimum on SAT. (I currently have a 1370).

Did I do better on the ACT comparatively?
I forgot to say
ACT English =27
As far as math I’ve never had a problem it just make sense to me. I missed one geometry problem on SAT and that’s why 770. My subject SAT math is 760 & 800. I could have done better. I’ve also had the BEST math teachers.

Hi there ^^
Just received my ACT score and i got a composite score of 27 on it (I know it’s bad… but I did absolutely no preparation before hand). I also took the SAT in march and got a 1980 with basically no preparation beforehand.
Both are pretty awful scores in my book and on these forums but I was curious as to what I should retake in the fall. I’m going to be a senior and will have a pretty heavy schedule next year.

On the SAT my weakest section is always critical reading and on the ACT its the science section. My math isn’t in the 700+ region on the sat and i only got a 29 on the math on the act.

I was thinking of retaking both but im afraid im gonna run out of time to study in september because of a heavy load of ap classes

Any help is much appreciated
Please dont tell me my scores are fine when I clearly asked for some help T_T
The scores are not high enough for the schools I am applying to therefore the advice does not apply.. =/

I’m fifteen years old and when school starts back, I will be a junior. I have just taken the ACT for the second time and I made a composite score of 25. The first time I took the test, I was in ninth grade and I made a score of 20. My question is, do you think that a composite score of 25 is good for a tenth grader/fifteen year old?

I’m going to be a Junior this upcoming school year, so this was my first time taking the ACT. My composite score was a 29. Is that good for a first-time test? And can anyone estimate how many points I will be able to increase that by end of junior/beginning of senior year?

I got a Composite score of19 on my ACT. A 19 in English. A 16 in Math. A 19 in reading. And a 21 in science. In Michigan, if you pass the ACT you can receive, I believe a ,000 scholarship. Do you know what the passing score is? Also, I’m going to college no matter what, but I would like to go to a University. Pending on whether or not I have the money to get into college by the time I graduate, if I don’t I am navy bound. Any tips? Should I retake the test? What did you get?

( A lot of questions and info, i know. Just kinda nervous as to how soon graduation is coming up. Class of 2008! )

I’m no so happy with the composite score I have.
Any helpful hints and tips you could give for Reading and Science portion of the test because that’s what brought the score down.
I’m shooting for a 30 or higher
I am going to get the ACT Prep Guide book
Would the Prep Guide really help?

D: its foking eveil! well actually its easy, except the science part. omg the science part is impossible. its horrible. thinking about it makes me throw up. i just took the ACT today and i literally guessed on all the scince. the rest was ok though.

ok anyways, my question is, what is the highest ACT u have so far? i took the 2 practice ACTs and i have a 21 composite score. ;[ so sad.
i took the plan test and got a 19 cause i was half awake doing it, then i did a practice one and got a 21 because i guessed on everything in the science section of it. how did you do on the science part? how did you prepare for it? it scares me to death.. i cant even understand the questions. AND IM A SMART KID! I HAVE STRAIGHT A’s.. its no fair

ojkay I’m a junior in high school and I got a 29 composite score on the ACt. I got a 10 out of 12 on the essay portion. Math: 29
ENglish:30 Reading :30 combined english and writing was a 30

I am interested in colleges like NYU, suny bingamton, unc chapel hill, UCLA, University of pittsburgh, john hopkins, UT-AUstin and the university of pennsylvania

i am in the top ten students of my class out of 420 students. I have extracurriculars. On the SAT I got a 1780 but CR+Math I got 1200 combined. Should I retake the SAT and ACT each one time over again? I am taking two subject tests in june: most likely history and bio or math. If i take the ACT i will take it in september and if I take the SAT i will take it in october? Does that sound like a good plan? I don’t want to take too many tests in may or june because I am taking 4 AP exams in May, I am taking my road test afterwards in May and in June I have 3 regents exams to take. I’m from NY and I want to major in nursing. Are the subject tests I listed good ones to take?
