applying to lone star colleges for fall 09

[jeneecw]

I'm new to this site. I've been coming here browsing for a while, but I hadn't seen anyone posting yet if they were applying at any of the lone star colleges for fall 2009. I just took my HESI and unfortunately only got an 87.23 so that puts my scores at 11.1892 and I don't think I'll get in now. I'll apply at Montgomery as my first choice, then north harris, tomball, and cy-fair. If I don't get in I guess I'll have to try to either retake the Hesi next semester or retake my english 1301 that I got a B in... this is driving me crazy! I started working on the pre-req's over 5 years ago and stopped to have 3 kids now I'm back in the game and I was so disappointed today after my HESI. The competetiveness is just crazy that a B in one class and a B on one test can pretty much take me out of the running. I'm going to keep my hopes up, but I'd sure like to hear if anyone else is applying and what yall's scores are :wink2:

When I turned in my application to the nursing department at Cy-Fair, the lady that was in the office told me. I also need to take my CPR class too!

Ok ladies.... is anyone else going crazy during this waiting game??? I hope I can get in with a 11.4... whatever the rest is... I don't even remember now because it seems like forever that I turned in my application to NH......

Hello all!

I took my HESI Test and made a 89.3 on the Reading section. I am planning on applying to Cy-Fair and I guess if I am calculating it right, then my score is 11.0. I guess that puts me out of the pool since the cut off is 11.4. Please keep the rest of us posted with anything else you guys hear.

[Lizzienick311]

Onlyone, have you considered applying at North Harris since their cut off has been lower in years passed? The cut off is only determined after all the apps have been turned in. The cut off is determined by the number of applicants and the highest scores..... so you could still be in the running.

What is that... like two months? I hope it doesn't drag on as slow as February has. This is sad because it's all I can think about right now but there is absolutely nothing I can do. Actually, I still need to take CPR. Does anybody know where I can go? I don't live that far from Cy-Fair College.

Briacarr: What school did you call?

Contact Cy Fair College. They will recommend an instructor. Make sure that during the class you watch the AHA film, practice on adult, infant, and child manikins etc., and that you will receive an AHA card.

I turned in my application today to North Harris. I have a 11.5298. I hope that's enough to get in! The wait is on....

Thanks houstoncprinstructor!! I appreciate the info.

Still (patiently) waiting.. or at least trying to be patient... I am hoping they get the letters out earlier in April.... so they only thing anyone has heard is mid-late April ETA?? I turned my app in almost 2 months ago!!!

[CreoleFromtheBoot]

Yeah... There's NO patience in my waiting although I am trying my hardest. The closer April gets the more anxious I become. I started reading "The Guardian" thinking it would take awhile for me to finish it, you know, distract me, but the book was so good that I finished reading it in two days. This month is going to be torture!!!

[Lizzienick311]

Only a few more weeks of waiting!! I hope at least.. I know they normally send out rejection letters first, so the longer the wait the better!! :) I'm going to Vegas in April so I am hoping I have something to celebrate.

Hi... I'm new to this board. I applied to Montgomery College as my first choice and North Harris as my second. My score was an 11.25. Maybe they will go lower than a 11.44 this year at Montgomery. Good Luck to everyone!!

[jeneecw]

has anyone received any letters decline or acceptance yet??! this is killing me now. i've made it to april without worrying about it too much but now that i know it could be any day it seems like it's taking forever!
