ADN waiting list *sigh*

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I was studying pretty hard to get into ADN program in Houston and yay it's paid off! my cumulative GPA is 3.84 and GPA for science is 4.0 with average HESI 88.5. Here is the break down for HESI exam:

math 92

A&P 88

Grammar 88

Reading 86

So I was pretty confident with my application, but today just got an email that I am on ADN waiting list. I am pretty demoralized, but all I can do now is just praying and believing that God has a beautiful plan for me.

Does anyone have the same experience? :)

Every person that was on the waiting list for my program was offered a seat after orientation. (I believe there were 24 on the wait list) We were required to attend, you would not believe the amount of people that did not show up. Good luck!

Your welcome. Every school is different, just keep that in mind.

Great advice from PP. Thanks for sharing your story. I keep telling wanna-be nurses about the highly competitive admission process in the Houston area, but your concrete example (showing your own very high results) provides clear evidence of what's going on. Those 'minimum requirements' in the school catalog are pretty meaningless. It all hinges on your cohort. If you're unlucky enough to be applying at the same time as a lot of high flyers, it will really raise the bar on all admission criteria.

Wishing you the best of luck & hoping you make the cut!
