Collin College ADN - Spring 2027

It is such an exciting and nerve-wracking time when you finally hit that submit button on your nursing school application. I remember those days well, and the wait for an acceptance letter can feel like an eternity.

Collin College has a solid reputation in the DFW area, and their ADN program is known for being rigorous but very rewarding. Since they use a point-based system, focusing on the details of your application packet is what really sets you apart from the crowd.

Here are a few tips as you all start gathering your stats and documents:

• Double-check your HESI scores. Collin typically looks closely at the Reading Comprehension and Math sections, so make sure your scores meet their specific benchmarks before you finalize everything.
• Verify your transcript evaluations early. If you are transferring credits from outside schools, ensure the registrar has mapped them correctly to the Collin curriculum so you don't lose out on ranking points.
• Focus on the "Bonus" points. If you have a prior degree or a current certification like a CNA or EMT, make sure that documentation is crystal clear in your packet.

The community support here is what gets most of us through the long nights of clinicals and finals. Be kind to yourselves while you wait for the committee to make their decisions.

How are you all feeling about your HESI scores, and have you finished all your science prerequisites yet?
