Exactly right! I'm sure if you got in before you should have no problem this time around! What were your stats if you don't mind me asking?

hey guys!

Greetings and happy holidays!!

I am applying for the Fall of 2013 as well at UTHSC Houston... it's ranked the best in the state and the facilities and hospitals surrounding it are amazing, so good luck to everyone

I haven't taken my Hesi yet, but my stats are as follows.... overall 3.5.. pre req... 3.67

one more thing,

it's kind of a silly question but what's the name of the Hesi study guide that you all used??? there's a ton of them lol and i don't want to get the wrong one

It would be unfair not to say thank you to all participants of this discussion forum as I have been reading your posts over the last few weeks. I took my HESI today, not happy with my result (overall 84.8, CT 800). I forgot to use the calculator that I used over an hour on math alone and I have to rush to finish the remaining part. I plan to take it again. I did already apply for both the 2nd degree and traditional BSN both at UTMB and UTHSC-Houston. Good luck everybody and I hope that we will all get in.

kscott, I used the same one Elsevier provides! The HESI was really not hard at all. You will be fine! (:

gwin, thats crazy! I would have been so upset! I feel your pain though, my computer kept locking up DURING my exam and the person administering it would not let me switch computers so it had to be restarted at least three seperate times. That really took a toll on my nerves hah.

Pls, do u think i will have a chance getting in? I still have 5 to 6 classes left, govt 1&2, history 1&2, philosophy. i want to take a computer class in d winter mini session. With that i will have the 43 hrs completed. my gpa presently is 3.9. I'v taken all the sciences. Do you all think they look at the number of classes completed?

W.O.W!!!!

Everything about the campus, the city, the TMC and everything there is just SOOOO amazing!!!

Does any one know what class is considered elective? Can I take Contemporary Math or College Algebra as elective class?

carlajeanx3 · Dec 5, 2012

I am pretty sure college algebra does count towards an elective. I think anything that isn't a pre requisite to another class will count! I am taking college algebra next semester for one of my electives. :)

sol0305 · Dec 5, 2012

Hey carlajeanx3 Im glad to hear that because Im taking college algebra next semester too! So you think contemp math woulnt be counted as elective? What is the other class you take for elective if you dont mind i ask?

carlajeanx3 · Dec 5, 2012

I am also taking Speech 1315 (public speaking) for my last elective because its the last class that I also need to get my associates in biology. I am not really sure about the contemp math, but you could always call up there and ask! My sister called about the college algebra and the person she spoke to said as long as it was not a prerequisite to another class it would count.
