Hillsborough Community College Fall 2011

I agree. I would just apply anyway to increase your chances and options especially because all of these programs are very competitive and each school applies different pre reqs to their programs. St. Pete college doesn't use sociology as their pre req for nursing I don't think. Also, it looks like there's no application fee either because I applied and it didn't say to include a check or anything. I faxed my application and I'm not sure if there's anything else I have to do but their deadline is later than HCC so I figured if they needed anything else that they would let me know right?

Hi everyone I am new to this site. I am an HCC student, I just finished my pre-req's and I am going to apply for fall 2011. I am scared because I'm going with a 3.33 GPA, I wonder if that's good. Does any one knows? I will have my fingers cross and pray a lot for the best. I will pray for all the students that want to get in the program as well. Lets hope for the best.:)

3.33 is higher than me, so you definitely have a better chance than me. However, I heard the majority of applicants will apply in the fall because typically people start their pre Reqs at the beginning of the year and complete them by the end of the year so it might be more competitive during the fall. I have read that the lowest GPA that has been accepted has been a 3.2 and that was for the spring semester. For the fall, I believe it's usually around 3.4 and up because there are more people applying so more chances of higher gpa's and they go by highest gpa's will get chosen. I already know like 5 people with 4.0's or really close to that applying also for the fall. But, hey just go for it and pray about! That's what I'm doing. I also applied elsewhere just in case. It's a competitive program with limited seats, but there is also hope. So, hope for the best! Good luck 2 you!

Hi Sandm55

Thank you for your reply. We need to hope for the best, we can't think negatively. I heard of students applying for other colleges thats a good idea, I am just applying at HCC. I have'nt sent my application yet, could you walk me through the process or give me some info. I am lost:confused:

Hi nurseH,

Go to this website http://www.hccfl.edu/depts/healthsci/nursing/files/53EBCBE4DD5A4982B022F506AA016F36.pdf and print out the nursing application. It will have a checklist of everything you will need to gather and send off. You will need to include a 53.00 check for the application fee, transcripts from all schools you have attended (needs to be sealed, otherwise not accepted), HCC admissions fee unless you were already student there, copy of photo ID etc..it will list it for u. What I did was included a self adressed stamped envelope so they could return to me for confirmation once they received everything. Which they already did and sent back to me. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you Sandm55, I can't wait to turn in my application next week.

Keep in touch and tell me how everything goes 4 u.

I just read that they take points off if you repeat courses. I am really scared now I took Algebra twice and had a B the second time. How many points they take off your gpa?

You read it on my previous post or on their website? Did you take algebra twice or drop it twice? I dropped it twice and the third time I got an A. But, they deduct 0.2 points if you drop it twice.

I read it on their website. I took the first time and had a D, and the second time I had a B.

Oh ok I read it again they take points off after the 3d time. I took it twice.
