Alternates list!

CordaeP · Apr 7, 2012

Last summer 2011, I applied for the Spring 2012 program and I was #7 on the alternate list. They called me in November to offer me a seat. I had to forfeit my seat because I was due for a c-section in March, so clinicals was not something I was going to be able to do right after having my baby.

Hi Success88,

Have you been accepted while on a waiting list? Also, what were your HESI scores. I am just wondering has anyone gotten in with a 68 on the math but a 100 on the anatomy portion? This waiting list thing is killing me! :mad:

Hey SouthBeach. I didn't have to take the Hesi exam for Augusta State. I had to take the TEAS Test. I did horribly on it. I made a 64, but 64 is the national score. That's all they look for. I am not on the waiting list. I am on the alternates list. I don't know if you know the difference in the two, but I just found out myself. A waitlist is a list they continuously use. A alternate list is list of names they have in case someone decides they no longer want to go. The alternate list usually contains about 11- 20 people. If everyone shows up on the first day of class, they no longer use it anymore. Those chosen for the alternates list have to re-apply. The wait is killing me too. Please keep in touch. I could use the support... :)

SN: I took the Hesi two years ago. I can't remember the exact scores. But I remember the school I was going to go to did take students with low scores. What is the average score of people who applied...
