Not to but in, but she's also who told you that they typically accept student who at least scored in the 80's?

I was never told that, it was someone else up the thread that commented about that!

No worries! I know the acceptance all depends on the amount of people and the scores that cycle.
it gets more and more competitive each year, I assume.

Yeah, I'm sure! I scored an 85.3 on my HESI so I'm a bit concerned that's not good enough. I guess we'll find out in roughly a months time.

So I was told by Nancy, the nursing advisor, as well as the testing supervisor. I’m not sure if that’s actually her title, but she’s who I messaged to get the average results of those that were accepted last year.
I was told they only consider the one you want, but they still see both attempts. I feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of telling them which one to consider, if you know what I mean.

Oh okay. That would make sense! I know they can see both results but they do only consider the one that you submit with the application. The other test won't be a factor with the application. I just went in today to double check this information. Also this information is coming directly from the Middletown campus so I don't know if you might be at the Fauquier campus but it might be slightly different over there.

So from what I have been told by previous people who have applied and were accepted into the Fall 2019 program is if you are in the high 80's you should be fine. The score that you received was confirmed by other students currently in the program to be a score that got them accepted into the program. I think you will be fine!

Also just like Nursekitty said previously it really depends on the year as it continually becomes increasingly competitive. A lot of the information I am providing is from questions I directly asked to the nursing program staff or students who were admitted into the Fall 2019 semester.

I found the class average tool on the evolve website to be useful as it gave an idea of where I specifically stood compared to others who took the test through LFCC they had a national average and a class average. I would focus on the class average and compare your results with that.

Hopefully so! I'd definitely feel more confident if I had gotten at least a 90! Thank you for the encouragement!

No problem! Below I included the class average (as of today) for everyone at LFCC who has taken the HESI thus far:

Math - 83

Critical thinking - 856

A&P - 73

Reading comprehension - 83

The wait sucks but I have faith that you did just fine on your HESI!

Fantastic! I actually beat all of those scores. I'm hopeful! Thank you so much for that info! Definitely helps to ease my mind.

I applied for the 2020 LFCC Nursing Program as well. I really need to be able to get into the Warrenton Campus! For those that have submitted your application already, did you get a confirmation email that everything was satisfactory? I submitted my app, but stated I was going to take the HESI again next week so they said they were going to hold my application until then. I sent an email a couple of days ago stating I decided not to retest, but haven't heard anything since. Good luck to everyone!
