I am applying to the program this as well. What campus are you applying at? Midland or Warren?

midland.

Me too. I see you did VERY well on the HESI. If you dont mind me asking what is your GPA? Did you hear anything about what the cut-off was last year?

I have a 3.92 GPA, but that is including all of my classes from my first degree (Business). I have a 4.0 in all of the required pre-reqs. Can I ask how you did on your HESI? I didn't really know what is considered a good score. I don't know what the "cut-off" is, I really don't think there is one, specifically, I think it is just the top students. I have heard so many different things, one advisor that didn't really seem to know what he was talking about said that over 600 people applied last year, so I knew that I had to get all 4.0s and get a good grade on the HESI to try to wiggle my way into a spot.

I was told that anything better than an 80 was a good score. Of all the people that I asked in my A&P II class, only one scored in the 90's. I got an 85. I am pretty comfortable with that score. Your score and GPA are great. Im positive you will get in. I didnt do as well as I had hoped this last semester, and I am applying with a 3.7, I am soooo nervous about it. I mailed my application today, I must have checked it over a thousand times. Now I get to sit here and wait. What torture.

I am driving my application to the registrar tomorrow. LOL. I am neurotic about knowing that it is there and safe. Sounds crazy, I know.

I am so nervous, also. That is why I started this thread, I thought maybe some of us could do the torturous wait together!

I hope we are classmates in the fall! :)

I upgraded mine to priority mail so I could have a tracking number, cost me $6 to send one little manila folder. Oh well! I guess I am just as crazy about making sure mine gets there too.

Hi,

I also just applied for the program and I gave serious consideration to driving that package there myself. I opted for the signed delivery. It would be great to have a group of people to wait with. Best of luck to everyone.

I found last year's thread for Davenport students and I hear that the first set of acceptance letters go out in early June! After that if student's that were accepted to the program don't complete the packages or pay the $150.00 to hold their position then they start looking at their list of alternates. The alternates end up beating their heads against a wall because they don't get an acceptance letter or rejection letter until late August. Some never get notified at all. I know this is true because last year I was told that I was one of 6 people put on a list of alternates and I never received anything.

Suns up-

Can I ask what your GPA and HESI score is? I am trying to get a feel for the cut off, and if you were on the alternates, then you were close!

Hi,

I've been trying to respond for some time now but I had to re-register. I have a 3.64 GPA and I got and 83.5 on the hesse test but just the other day I ran into a couple of girls who got in last year with 3.5 GPA's and they only got like a 50 on the hesse test.

I know that when you are filling out your package you have to be really careful. I asked numerous people which box I should check and was told to check the LPN RN associates degree box. This year I was told to check the LPN diploma box because the other box is for students that already have their LPN license. I was reading last years blog and RN4Life was told what I was told. Turns out she filled out the wrong application.

They stopped giving out nursing application packets at my location but I swear now that I have printed off the forms from the internet, I don't remember some of the questions that were on the application which makes me think maybe I turned in an incomplete package and rather than upset me they told me I was an alternate. Just a guess.
