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?
I think you have it correctly. I think critical thinking is a part of that and of course like you mentioned, overall & pre-clinical sequence GPA's. Best of luck.
I went to the office and I found out that the minimum score they take is a 75% and 750 for critical thinking. The critical thinking part is a separate exam in which they will take a closer look. Also found out that the hesi exam in worth 70% and gpa 30%. They will start calling the first week of jan since today was the last day of examination.
Thanks again stole238 for taking the time to post that info. :-) That's so different from the info they gave me when I signed up to take the HESI, which was what Maryasha posted earlier: 40% HESI, 30% pre-clinical sequence, and 30% overall GPA.
Are you a part of the 1199? I think they are required to accept a certain number of 1199 applicants. :-) Did I read somewhere that it's something like 19 applicants each semester?
Yes I am part of the 1199!! But I really don't know how many students they take each year. I know that scores are not compared to the regular students one's.
I already know!!! that instead of my grade be compared to the rest of the students my grades are going to be compared to only 1199 members.and this semester I made #22
