- Aug 29, '12 by peaches1018Quote from desjt3I don't know my GPAs but here are my HESI Scores:Glad I could help! Peaches1018 & Tpulta would either of you mind adding your scores to the list I have at the bottom? (Can you also add previous degrees)

Irelevant but, I think we are the only applying class on allnurses that the majority of us have our pic uploaded! (others were blank or had abstract images) Nice to put the face with those we are talking to!!

Science GPA: ?Last edit by desjt3 on Aug 29, '12 - Aug 29, '12 by desjt3Quote from marylynn70I think you have a great chance!!I am so confused and nervous! How can 2.5 GPA's get in yet I read the stories of 4.0's not getting in with 95 on HESI!!! Here is my story.... I have my degree from UH (94). I was young and did not care and just wanted to get out. Made horrible grades, had a lot of drops and even F's. Managed to graduate with a 2.5. Well, life happened and I did a complete turn around and knew I wanted to go into nursing. I needed 31 hours of pre-reqs....all my sciences and maths, history and a psych. Over the last 3 semesters I completed all the hours with a 4.0....while working 40 hours a week and raising 3 kids. Took HESI last week and made a 93%....92 in A and P and 850 in critical thinking. All other sections were pretty high...94 and 96's....but reading of all things got me. Made a 90. Couldn't believe it....I thought I would do best in that so I am not sure what happened! Will they even look at me with my GPA from first time around? I am so hoping they look at what I have done the past year and see how committed I am to this the second time around!
You have a previous degree which shows you completed 4 years towards a specific curriculum goal...good enough for them! Honestly with the way the accept all over the ranges of scores I dont even think your past history of grades will matter. Time will show them the dedication you've enlisted towards becoming a nurse. You have very competitive stats!! You did great on Hesi, you have a degree, and your GPA's are HIGH. Stay positive girly, I think you have a better shot than you think.

I just got on this site today....I wish I had found it sooner....especially before the HESI...lots of great info on study sites. Do you know if UT posts prior stats on who they accept? I have no idea if I will even be considered. I have a degree (BS in Psych from UH (92)....I did not care (TWENTY years ago!!!) and managed to barely graduate with a 2.5. Turned my life around....went to school the past 3 semesters and completed 31 hours of pre reqs with a 4.0. That included all sciences and maths. Took HESI last week:
96% Grammar
94% Vocab
94% Math
90% Reading (not sure how that happened!!!)
92% A and P
93% Overall
850 Critical Thinking
So even though I have a 4.0 for the past 31 hours....when you take some of my C's in classes like history etc I took in 88-92, it brings my pre req GPA down to like a 3.5. But all science is a 4.0.
Think I even have a chance?????
At the info session, the only 3 things they look at are science GPA, Pre-requisite GPA, and HESI scores. They don't look at your overall GPA or the fact that you have a previous degree or what you did 20 years ago...or so they tell you. I think you have great scores. A 90 as your lowest section should definitely NOT be a problem, especially if it's reading. They care more about A&P and CT. They told us competitive scores are considered 84% and above on each section. Good luck! - Aug 29, '12 by timewilltellthanks desjt3 and dee1388 for your kind words.I will try and stay positive.desjt3 likes this.

Did you previously apply to fall 2012? just wondering.... - Aug 30, '12 by WooPigSooieSo, I applied for the Spring 2013 semester as well (Traditional BSN). I am taking a look at my HESI scores on the Evolve site. Does anyone know what the Class Average column means? Does it include people who took it within the same timeframe or does it include only UTHealth applicants?
