Alvin community college Adn spring 2019

Published

Who is considering Alvin community college for the spring semester, I wanted Lonestar, I took the Hesi yesterday, I had over 80 in all the sections except for A and P where I had 68, so now I'm looking at Alvin and College of the mainland. Any ideas?

Does anyone know the likely date for the drug test?or what day of the week it usually falls on?

We should find out on Friday at the orientation meeting.

Looks like they will be doing the drug test at the orientation on Friday.

I was rejected to UTMB Galveston, UTHealth and ACC is my my last chance. I wonder if my stats are high enough:

GPA 3.75, all prerequisites done including the transition ones

HESI 89.43

Reading HESI 90

I have two of the eligible Creative Art electives, one A and one B, hopefully they made sure to count the A towards my prereqs! Good luck everyone

Where did you get in?

I'm not sure if everyone is comfortable leaving their stats for everyone to see, but I'll go ahead and leave mine since I've been scoping around other forums and have seen it here and there. However, to appeal to those with a mutual curiosity, here are mine (and to be frank, I have no idea how my stats stack up):

-English: D, retake is a B

-A&P1: A

-Psych: A

-Lifespan: A

-Microbiology: A

-A&P2: in progress

-HESI: set to take it on the 27th, a day before the nursing application due date

So, my main concerns are that the D and B I received in English along with the in progress status of A&P2 will both dramatically affect my points. I recall from the meeting that both grades concerning a retake are used in the calculation of points (correct me if I'm wrong), so that is bothersome. Regarding the HESI, I have been studying for quite a while but not as qualitatively as I should be. I am kind of nervous, but the general consensus seems to be that it isn't as difficult as it seems. From speaking to people within the program, it isn't all that rare to be accepted with ~85, despite the average acceptance score hovering ~90. I just hope that goes well and the A's in my science courses help out. This will be the only college I plan on applying to for the time being, since I basically live down the road. I hope to hear from other hopeful applicants, let me know how you all feel and let's hope everything works out in our favor ?

Did you get into Alvin?

Yes, that's true. I believe my class (began January 2016) had over 400 applicants and we started with 36 students. Don't give up, though!!

How was the process and did it go? Any tips?

I applied To Alvin also. They look strongly at gpa (obviously) and your accumulative hesi and the reading portion of the Hesi. This will be my 2nd time applying, the first time I wasnt Yet finished with ap2 and didn't have micro. When I asked Karen about the stats of people accepted last go round she said the lowest GPA accepted was a 3.52 so yes SUPER competitive at Alvin since they don't accept very many. Not trying to get anyone's hopes up I am just being realistic. I'm

Sitting at a 3.42 right now so I am just trying to hope there is a smidgen of hope. Lol anyways, good luck to you all!

Eng - B

Psych - B

Art - A

Lifespan - A

Ap 1 - B

Ap 2 - B

Micro - A

Accumulative hesi - 91

Reading - 92
