HBU Nursing program spring 2015

Rhimariexoxo · Sep 23, 2014

I applied to HBU for Spring 2015. I'm nervous too, just playing the waiting game now. The nursing advisor who took my app said that competitive HESI scores are anywhere from 85-90 on all sections. I'm not sure what a competitive GPA would be for that school, but I'm assuming it would need to be a little higher than the minimum. Also, they take their students over outside students. Good luck, I hope we both get in!

Thank you! Good luck to you too! This waiting process has me so worried!! I hope we both get in! I've heard great things about HBU

So have I, but I've also read a few negatives on here. I don't really believe any of the negatives though because I've had nothing but good experiences with them so far. Everyone there is super nice-especially sweet little Ms. Venda! :)

do you currently attend HBU? i am so anxious, i've been checking my emails and mailbox everyday, hoping to receive a letter already! did you apply to any other nursing schools?

Rhimariexoxo · Oct 8, 2014

No, I don't go to HBU, do you? I've never taken a class there. When I dropped off my app Ms. Luksetich told me that they would be sending out e-mails the second week of Oct. So we should know by next week!! I've been checking my e-mail compulsively anyway though. Lol. I also applied to HCC Coleman. I got an e-mail last week saying that upon completion of Pharmacology (which I'm taking now) I will receive a conditional acceptance letter, so that's my back-up plan. I really want to go to HBU though!!-not only because I trust it's a way better school, but also because it's a bachelors program. If I go to Coleman I'll have to bridge over. Did you apply to any other schools??

Congrats on your acceptance to HCC Coleman! Yeah I get what you mean, I rather go to HBU too if I was in your shoes. I don't go to HBU either. I only applied to HBU, because 1: it's the only school I had time to apply to and 2: because they have such a great nursing program! I'm putting all of my faith into HBU, I hope I get an email soon!

Me too!! Fingers crossed! Hopefully by Monday

Hey girls!

I'm so glad you started an HBU page because I've been meaning to do that. I am currently a student at HBU and have applied for Spring 2015. I applied last semester for Fall admittance while I was still at a community college but was denied. I didn't have any more classes to take so I made the decision to attend HBU this fall and take the Theology, Logic and English course they require. I have spoken with many students who are in the program right now and was told they do accept their current students over transfer students and that many of them were accepted once they were a current student but that transfer students are also accepted. I don't want that to deter you at all... This is just here-say from what students have told me. I know last semester the advisor told me they had about 200 students apply (normally they have about 150 apply) and that the group was highly competitive. I'm hoping that spring semester will have less applicants and will increase the chance for us to get in.

I hope we all are accepted because now being a current student I can tell you this university is amazing and the professors are wonderful! It's like I'm in a different world where everyone cares and is compassionate about their teaching.

Please post on here if you receive any letters and I will do the same!!

Good luck to you! I hope we all get in! Do you know what gpa they usually take in? Or what's the lowest Gpa you've heard of a transfer student to get in?

Ashley_Delker · Oct 10, 2014

I have heard the lowest is around a 3.3 but that certain semesters the GPA range is lower. I know the counselor said last semester they had 3 students who had a 4.0 GPA and extremely high HESI scores which she said was rare to have 3 students with those stats all in the same semester. From talking to other students, everyone has around a 3.5 or higher and 90+ on the HESI.

I have a 3.5 GPA and made a 90 on my HESI. I know there are a lot of students who have much better scores than I do so I'm definitely praying for an acceptance letter. What is your GPA and HESI score?

EsmeG · Oct 10, 2014

I have a 3.4 overall gpa, 3.5 science gpa and I also made a 90 on my Hesi. I feel like the odds aren't in my favor, but I'm hoping for the best! I heard that it's less competetive in the spring semester than it is in the fall.
