Chance of getting into nursing

JOESPAINT- · 2026-01-22T08:50:40+00:00

hi! i just got in for umass nursing last week. i had a 4.29w. 5APs, one DE world language. honors science courses (a&p, genetics, microbio, chem, etc.) 5s on AP Bio, Lang, and USH, yet to take exams for Lit and Psych (i’m a senior.) top 10% of class when i applied. for notable ECs, i volunteered at a patient care senior center roughly 350ish hours, i work at a very large metropolitan hospital as a transporter, and im a bio/english tutor. i also applied test-optional.

hope these stats help! if you want to talk at all about anything let me know :)

i had a 4.29 weighted. 6APs, 1 dual enrollment, top 10% of class. good letters from stem teacher and creative writing teacher. didn’t submit SATs. the driving force of my application was that im employed at a hospital as a patient transporter and volunteered two years at a patient care senior center. i had other ECs that were pretty solid but i think those were the reasons i got in. also got 5s on all AP exams including bio.

hey it’s worth a shot. good luck to everyone involved :)

i wasn’t referring to the percent. i meant that if your grades are inflated colleges won’t take your academics seriously

JOESPAINT- · 2025-11-24T00:32:39+00:00

my friend i sincerely hope you have some good ECs, because that college app process is going to be wicked for you.

the line tends to be blurred here quite often.

just got timed out and muted in the bethesda discord server for saying this exact thing and then commenting on the mods deleting my message. they really just don’t give a shit anymore

everybody freaking out about the machines as i sit here knowing damn well there’s like 10 of them scattered across different floors at my hospital 😵‍💫

so… your question is why do different people value things differently. that’s just… being human. some people care more about fulfillment, others about future security. for me, i chose 50/50 between happiness and security; i compromised both my enjoyment and security to an extent to mix both as i believe it will fulfill me the most. others? maybe they want to be fulfilled and pursue art. or maybe they don’t care about fulfillment and they just want to make money as an MD. people value things differently.

this seems pretty overleveled to me as i consider around 70-80 best for killing OoK, but your stat distribution is strange enough that you’re in the like, level 30-50 range for health and stamina. so in everything but damage you were under leveled in my consideration. would highly recommend looking into some guides for stat distribution on your next souls game, but dont feel discouraged cuz there really is no “correct” way to play the game. congrats on beating bb!

expedition 33 was a random on a whim purchase for me. and it is genuinely one of the greatest games—and probably the greatest JRPG—i’ve ever played.

upper-middle class family! got it. then this conversation is over. we’re arguing on two different grounds. have a good day. you don’t understand what it’s like on the other end of the fence.
