Hi all!

Thought I would start a thread for the fall semester! Anyone who wants to share their stats or anything about the application process can post them here! My stats as of now...

Pre-nursing GPA: 3.54

Science GPA: 3.67

HESI: 87.7

Pretty worried that my stats aren't good enough. Scored low on the A&P section of the HESI (80%) but made an A in the class...hoping maybe that will help even it out? I get discourage when I read through the other threads and see people get rejected with 4.0 GPA's and 90s on the HESI. :( I do have 80 volunteering hours at a children's hospital but I doubt that would help me enough.

The pocket prep app helped me too! Plus the Elsevier book helped to direct my studying. I used Quizlet for vocab and a quick way to make flashcards to study what I missed on any practice quizzes.

That's what I did. I went through every question so many times that I remembered them all and it helped me a lot on my test!

Did you go into depth in your a&p book? I am down to th last few days before exam and haven't even come close to what I wanted to accomplish. Were the A&P questions broad over each system or very specific?

Also, what did you use for the vocab and Hannah section? Thank you for help--I truly appreciate it. It's been 5 years since I took a&p, so I am freaking!

The only things I reviewed about A&P are what were in my flashcards and on the PocketPrep app. The questions weren't very in depth, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I used the PocketPrep app for the vocabulary and grammar also and studied/made flashcards for those too. I'm sure you'll do great! :)

how long did it take them to upload your transcripts and hesi scores?

Not long at all. Maybe a week and a half at most.

Thanks! Looks like I need to give them a call.

Hi!

I'll be taking the hesi in two weeks and I'm hoping you don't mind if I have a look at your flash cards on quizlet? I'm so nervous and need all the help I can get!

okay, one more question--I hate to annoy you! Were the sections timed, or was it just 4 hours total you pick & choose your sections?

On my to-do list it still says that they need my official transcripts. I called and she said it's because i'm still enrolled in classes this semster. Is this true with everyone else? She didn't seem 100% sure so I just wanted to check here lol.

Sections aren't timed and you get to pick what sections you do!

I had that two of those on my to-do list - for both UofH and HCC - and had to call to let them know I was no longer taking classes at UofH - only HCC - so they would remove that one from my list. But if you have classes still in progress on your transcript, it will stay on your to-do list until you send a transcript with only completed courses. Just make sure that the transcripts on that list are from colleges that you're currently enrolled in.
