<p>Hey guys im interested in going to some colleges in New York for nursing. I am interested in Alephi, Hofstra, Molloy, St. Johns, CUNY York, CUNY Hunter, Stony Brook, SUNY Old Westbury, and LIU. However, with my grades im not too sure where I could get in also because of my sat score which I did horrible on (1370). But, I plan on retaking it again hopefully doing much better than before.</p>

<p>Freshman Year average: 87.2</p>

<p>Sophmore Year average: 85.3</p>

<p>Junior Year average: 87.1</p>

<p>Overall average: 86.74</p>

<p>Freshman year I was in latin honors, global history honors, and biology honors.
Sophmore year I was in latin honors, global history honors, and chemistry honors.
Junior year I was in latin honors ,u.s history honors, and AP psychology.</p>

<p>This year Im taking a college now class which I get college credit for and I am also in an english class where im elegible to get college credit if I pay a certain amount of money so its also like a college course. I am also in a honors class for government.</p>

<p>I have also joined three clubs junior year and plan on continuing senior year.
I have various hours of volunteering done at a nursing home as well as religious education class.
I also volunteered at the school's pool for 45 minutes 5 times a week for a year. </p>

<p>I will also be getting 1 or 2 letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>Can I get into any of the colleges I listed above? Thanks for answering in advance. Your answers are greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>you’d probably get into all of them, though probably not directly into any nursing program. you usually need to start fulfilling prereqs and then apply while you’re in school</p>

<p>Is your SAT out of 1600? If so thats really good… And for the schools you want, you shouldn’t need to take it again if that’s the case. </p>

<p>You’ve got a great chance at York, Old Westbury, and LIU.</p>

<p>Stony Brook and Hunter are more competitive but don’t rule them out. </p>

<p>Hofstra won’t give you a ton of aid because of your GPA. Adelphi and Molloy might, but I don’t know.</p>

<p>Since she said she did bad on them, I’m assuming that SAT is out of 2400. I highly recommend you study A LOT and retake the SATs. </p>

<p>I’d say with that SAT you have a decent shot at the CUNY York, SUNY Old Westbury and maybe Adelphi. But to be honest, unless you get your SATs up, the rest are reaches.</p>
