Thanks! I hope so! I studied for almost 2 weeks before and now I have 2 days!! I feel pretty good on the math and anatomy parts since I got above a 90 the first time, but the grammar and vocab just scare me haha! How did y'all study for the vocab and grammar part? maybe i can get some quick tips before i go.

Do online vocab flash cards everyday until it's time to test! I would brush up on your math and anatomy as well because it can help boost your overall score even more too.

Hey! i went in today to turn in my application and sadly when i went last time, i got told the wrong information about the HESI (since I have already taken it, I thought I was ok, but Im not). So I have to retake and the guy said that the only place right now is Baylor, so I am driving down to Baylor on thursday to take it! So stressful! Anyways, he said that people with less than 30 points usually don't get accepted, which i have also heard this from people in the program as well. Also the lady I spoke to last time, said that right now there is only 15 applications on the person who goes through them desk. (this was last week, there might be more now; but still, 15 out of 120, i think we got this!)

Where in Baylor can you take the HESI? I thought we could only take at at DCCCD college? Thank you

Just the testing center at Baylor. I called this morning after I talked with the main guy at el centro. He was the one that said I could take it there, i think you can take it anywhere it just has to have the correct sections.

Oh my goodness, bless you. You got this, there was a group on Facebook that was helpful when I studied. Unfortunately, Grammar was my lowest too. I also used the HESI app but I don’t recall that being much help for grammar I mostly used it for a&p.

Anyone still having problems with Castle Branch? They haven't approved my submissions and it has been a week. They also haven't fixed my package to the correct semester.

My last 3 documents are still pending too!!! It’s been 3 days. They are usually quicker than this. Also, I emailed el centro and the date on the castle branch package does not matter to them and won’t affect you not getting in.

It’s been a week for me!! Last time I had a package with them they completed it in two days.. I know I submitted all the correct forms, but if they reject for any reason I’m worry it won’t be updated in time!

Hello, Do we need to submit insurance as well? All my documents are still pending too.

I read that you don’t have to show proof of insurance until before the program starts. I’m starting to get nervous that they won’t review them before the deadline. I’m calling tomorrow if they aren’t reviewed before the afternoon.
