Hey Kasey, I'm applying too! And definitely some major nail biting going on over here too, I'm ready to know if I got in or not! There are actually 2 other threads for this year's applicants:

oh and they posted some info on the website re: the interview process... apparently they will be held november 1-4. ac told me it would probably be a group interview (5 or 6 students with a few interviewers).
from the website:
admission selection process
admission is based on a complete packet being submitted including signed course substitutions. a mathematical formula is used to compute the applicant’s score. after the application deadline, all applicant scores will be calculated. the applicants with the top scores will be identified. the applicants final admission score will be determined in two steps.
step 1
the following factors determine the score:
step 2
nursing student applicants with the top 50 step one scores for the spring admission and the top 70 step one scores for the fall admission will be invited for an interview. interviews will be scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best.
this interview score will be added to the step one score (gpa + hesi a2™ points + course points) for a final admission score of (gpa + hesi a2™ points + course points + interview points).
Only 32 points....I hope that'll be enough???? I'm trying to remain optimistic; I had to re-take the HESI because I took it originally at Northlake, and my score went down to a 92% overall, so I applied with a 32. I haven't taken HPRS 1203 yet, so I had to submit my application with 32! How about you?
92 is still a great HESI score! I have 34 points total. I know last semester the cutoff was around 31.something so I think you'll be good with 32 :) I think the interview will change things around a little bit too and it won't be so cut and dry in terms of the points needed to get in. Hopefully this points email tomorrow has some info about the interview!
