Hey all i am a fall 2012 applicant, i have taken all classes and will be taking pharm in the spring 2012 session. Lets support each other in this process!!

I am registered for an information session at HCC next Tuesday. I attended a previous session in March of 2010. The requirements sound as if they have changed quite a bit. I have been working on the pre-reqs and core class ever since the summer session 2010. My GPA is 3.85 and I have completed all pre-reqs and core classes for both the program at HCC and Lone Star. Next semester I am taking Govt 2302, Stat, Hist 1302 and a Lit. class which will transfer to a BSN program. I think I will have an associate in science before I get accepted into a program, I am only short 3 hours of CHEM.

Hello everyone! I am wondering how competitive the ADN program is. It is evident that there is a great number of people interested in the program (by the looks of the ER sessions) but I wonder how many actual applicants they will have? Is the Pharmacology course so difficult that it weeds out most students?

Good luck to everyone!

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if they require applicants to turn in their high school transcripts when turning in the appplication?

I thought i heard something about that but i couldnt remember.

Hi everyone... I have a few questions about HCC's application process.

Y'all were talking about taking pharm through HCC before admission--what if I have already taken Pharm through another college? Will it transfer? It was a pretty difficult class and I squeaked out a "B" (whew)!

I am applying for 3 ADN programs for Fall 2012. I have taken basic Biology, A&P 1 & 2, Micro, Pharm... well all prereqs and I will have an AS in Natural Sciences before the fall. My science GPA is a 3.6 but overall my GPA is 3.3. I take the TEAS V on Feb. 10th and I have the ER meeting on Jan. 19th.

I say all of that to say this--it seems that each of the programs I am applying for qualify their applicants in TOTALLY different ways. It is a little bewildering.

:eek:

I am also taking the HESI A2 at the end of January--are the two tests similar? Sorry to ramble but I have SO many questions, worries, concerns, etc. This must be pre-application submission jitters...

hey, good news yes it transfers, as long as you get a 90 on the hcc math drug calclation test, i cant believe they habe 180 seats, thats sooo many!

180 seats--is that enough?!?! LOL, ok so good deal... I don't want to have to re-take Pharm. On each of our pharm exams they quized for dosage calcs, conversions, etc. I'll make sure to review that.

Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

I went to the ER last Tues. (Jan. 10). The counselor I spoke with told me that if I make an A in pharm I would be exempt from the math calculations test. I am enrolled in pharm for the spring semester and will be submitting my application Jan. 17. The counselor I spoke with told me not to worry about getting in the program after she looked over my transcripts, she said with my GPA I surely would be accepted to start the program in the Fall. I have to get in before they require algebra, it kills me to do linear equations and graphing! Good luck everyone who is applying!!
