Elcentro fall 2017

Hi guys! I am thinking about applying to el centro as a second choice, I had been hesitant about applying here because even with all the courses I've taken it didn't seem as though my points were going to be very competitive with what I've seen get in in the past and I've taken the majority of support and bsn courses as well. I need to take the HESI still does el centro still give unlimited opportunities to retake it? I read that somewhere in their admissions information one time and thought that was fantastic since some schools only give you one to two chances to take it in a year.

Hi I'm also applying fall 2017 I started another forum also .. I'll have 26 points before taking my Hesi ... There was no cut off points for spring 17 they basically just accepted those that qualified because a lot of people couldn't apply .

Hello everyone! I plan to apply to El Centro in January. I know last application period was kind of crazy because of not having enough applicants. But my friend got in with 31 points. What are you guys thinking will be the cut off for this group applying in January? I have 18points without the HESI and I'm retaking it in November to score higher. My goal is to apply with 35 points. What do you guys think? Do I have a chance? What is everyone else applying with? Thanks!!

HI ALL! I was accepted in Fall 2016, recently had to drop half way through first semester due to some personal issues. SO I am trying to apply at UTA BSN program and El Centro again(ugh) for back up! I will have to retake my HESI after all bc I scored 78 on ENG. We now need a 80 on each section. SO that sucks! Otherwise, I am good to go! Really hoping I get in at UTA tho.... Feel free to ask me any questions about the program

ALSO, For those starting in Spring, I have brand new skills pack and 2 size small scrub tops for sale.

My goal is 35 points also I have 26 points currently ... So I think that is a good goal .. I take my Hesi exam now 12 and then dec 3rd hopefully after that I can turn my packet in ...

Yes you are def good. I got in with 27 points

I know that it is early but my goal is to attend in Spring 2018. I just recently took my Hesi my average was 84.4 I'm not retaking it. (I found the Hesi hard). The anatomy was really random. I have taken all pre-req's for the program with the exception of Micro and Chemistry. It took me 2 years to finish all of these pre-req's. I also went to two schools and I enrolled every semester possible to reach my goal. As far as the Hesi I would study the book that Hesi recommends. Also I cannot stress this enough PLEASE BUY CLIFF"S NOTES ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY BOOK. I think the book is between 5-10 dollars on amazon and the Hesi pocket app did help. It is similar to the Hesi but the questions are not exactly the same but the app does help you prepare. Also Barron's E-Z anatomy and physiology is a great book I brought this book at half price books. I would suggest you go there first before ordering off of Amazon. Please remember if you score an 80% and if you did well on all the other sections do not beat yourself up about scoring higher cause the Anatomy section is RANDOM there are 30 questions but they only count 25. Again, If your scores are like mine and if you found the test hard I would not retake it. I'm saying this because you can get other points from other things listed in the packet. Plus not to mention the score range is pretty steep and you have to realistic and honest with yourself when it comes to test taking. Also, I found out when you go online and look at your test results there is no room for error. You can miss 7 questions in one section and your score will be like an 80 something. I took my test a Grayson college they were really nice to me. At whatever testing center you choose to take the test, the format is not any different. I did study for at least two months before I decided to take the test. (Third attempt) I also think that if you are not able to grasp the information in the books that I recommended please make sure you hire a tutor cause they do help out. I know a great tutor who goes by the name of Emily she is awesome and her prices are reasonable. Because of her my scores improved drastically.
