   I got all of my pre-reqs when I got my bachelor's degree. My degree is in biology, and I taught high school for a little bit. I was able to go straight into the Brookkhaven program without taking any extra courses. I am almost halfway through the ...

   It has been over five years since I took my pre-reqs, so I can't really remember any tips or tricks. I'm sorry. :-( A&P is fascinating, it's a ton of memorization. For instance you'll have to memorize every muscle and bone, etc. All I can sa...

   Don't worry about a B or two. The bulk of the entrance points come from your HESI A2 score. I also had a bachelor's when applying, but they don't take that into account. They only look at the test score and your pre-req completion and grades. I m...

   Well, acceptance to the program is based completely on grades and your score for the HESI A2 entrance exam. So, I would recommend getting all A's and getting a great grade on your HESI. There is a study guide for the HESI in the library for free, o...

   Regarding the book package, I think mostly everybody I have talked to regretted buying it. I wish I would have bought used books online...it would have saved a ton! They will try and sell the "electronic" package to you, which sounds really amazing...

    Hi Crystal, You are allowed to miss only ONE day in each class per semester. Whatever you miss has to be made up though, so it is really not a good idea to miss. The faculty really frowns on missing class. This semester we are on the orthopedic fl...

    We started our clinicals last week. It's crazy and fun at the same time! We have already gotten to see some weird stuff! Clinical days are long, just under 12 hours. We had the choice between three hospitals: Medical Center of Plano, Baylor Irvin...

    I can't remember exactly...I think I had 31.4 points. From the info that I've gathered from others in the group, I think that somewhere around 31 was the cutoff for this semester. Every semester is different. There have been semesters where 20 was...

    My first semester clinicals are at Medical Center of Plano. We had the choice between Baylor Garland, Baylor Irving, or MCP. It changes from semester to semester.
