May I ask what everyone got on their HESI and if you had all your prereqs done? I am applying for Fall 2014 and in the process of taking my last 2 classes with a 94.5%. I am trying to decide whether to take the HESI again :). Also, how long did it take to get your letters? Thanks!

I had a 95 on my HESI and had all coreqs complete except AP II, Micro and Pharm (was taking Pharm during the application process, done now). Gulf Coast places *great* emphasis on HESI scores relative to other programs (this is not "official" info, but do some digging around and you'll hear it again and again). Admission varies with each applicant pool but you seem to be in great shape.

As far as retaking the HESI is concerned, if your scores in all 4 sections are relatively close, I wouldn't do in unless you don't get in this time. If you have 3 great scores and one lagging, it might make sense to retake the one deficient section. This was my experience; I had near 100 in three sections and mid 80s in one. I was going to retake the one section, but my schedule at the time wouldn't allow it, and luckily it wasn't necessary.

I don't know if it varies from year to year, but we got our acceptance letters very quickly, just under three weeks after the deadline, I believe.

I realize this info is coming a bit late! I hope your application went well and wish you the best of luck!

Thank you Euphonicus! You helped relieve some of my anxiety. I received a 98% in reading, 96% in vocab, 94% in math, and 90% in grammar. I think I am going to retake math and grammar if I don't make it into the Fall program.

I am currently taking Microbiology and A&P II. My plan was to take Pharmacology in the summer if I am accepted, or taking it in the Fall if I am not.

I noticed that the trend seemed to be around 2-3 weeks for the letters. My advisor told me that they will be going out the first week of April. However, I noticed that she doesn't give out concrete answers to any of my questions. When I asked whether I should retake the HESI, she just said I could if I wanted. I am wondering if she gives generic answers to maintain fairness, maybe?

But thank you again and I hope the semester is going well for you.

I can't remember my HESI scores, but I had all of my pre-req's before applying except Pharmacology. I am taking it this summer. Your HESI scores are great!

Hey guys my name is Jordan and I'm applying for the Fall 2014. I see y'all are already in, congratulations! Could any of y'all tell me a little about what they had when accepted, like A&P 1 grade, gpa, HESI score and if y'all had anything extra? :)

Hi everyone! I am an LPN hoping to transition into the RN program in January '15, so I will be with those that began this semester! I'm taking my last finals this week for my last prerequisites and hopefully taking the transition class in the fall. How are y'all liking it so far?

jessicaRN32 · May 5, 2014

Would you mind informing me on how the transition program is going? I am hoping to take that class in the fall. I know what information we will go over, but I have absolutely no idea about the structure of the class (meeting times, days, how the information is...). :)

I'm still doing my prerequisites but this will be my first year transferring to GCSC and I noticed the only professor who teaches microbiology is Penni Beitzel. For those of you who took it already what did you think of the class and professor?
