BMCC Fall 2011 Applicants - HESI A2

Published

Hello fellow BMCC nursing applicants,

Anyone applying for Fall 2011? They now require the HESI A2 (I believe the Spring '11 hopefuls didn't need HESI). Does anyone know what the percentages will be for prereq GPA/ overall GPA/ HESI score in determining the rankings?

I'm pretty worried now because I was hoping to boost up my overall GPA from 3.7 to above 3.8 this semester. But finals just passed, and I calculated my grades; I think my GPA is dropping to a ~3.63 because I might receive a C in my Microbio class. I'm considering emailing my professor and requesting some kind of administrative withdrawal instead of getting the C. If somehow I'm allowed the withdrawal, my GPA will become ~3.84. My prereq GPA is ~3.86 (2As, 2A-s).

BMCC is notorious for rejecting 3.8s, let alone 3.7s and lower. Should I rely on acing the HESI or should I contact my professor and hope I get the withdrawal? Or is there a possibility that a 3.7 this sem could get accepted?

Hey Stole,

I got an 80% on HESI... 760 on CT.

What about you?

Thanks for the tip on what Mr. S told you about the CT

I had 77 and CT 900 and gpa 3.23

Wow you CT grade is amazing...My friend just text me & told me that Mr. S is calling back alot of the students that took the test on the first day & time, as he have had many complains for the first day exam, that studens was not explained correctly about the time. She was not able to finish the reading, so if there is a section that you did not complete & you took the exam on the fist day...the school is allowing you to finish that section...I took the exam on the last day

oh really!!! I took it the second day!!! Yeah I heard a lot of people did not finish the exam

@stole238 hey don't give up yet. U still have hope.

As for the the way they calculate the Avg for the incoming students, I went to the ND on 12/12/11 and they said 30% for overall GPA, 30% for Pre reqs and 40% from HESI.

A girl in my calss took the test on monday and there was a glitch in the test. she only got to finish 2 parts so the whole class went to the ND to complain. They were told they can take the other 2 parts on dec 27th.

I find this is kind of unfair to the rest of us who took the test in one shot but I guess it's unfair for the ones who took it monday also coz they didn't get to finish it.

Oh well what r we gonna do but wait and see :)

I don't how that works I received an email for mr. S and he told me that hesi worth by 70%. I wanted to drop A&P I to re- take it because I had a B- and he said to think twice because the GPA does not count like last semester now they emphasizing more on the HESI. ANyway let's see what happens.

Good Luck to all.

Stole238 Did Mr.S the 30% from Gpa is from overall GPA or pre req GPA???
