From reading everyone that got into Lone Star nursing programs I hypothesized one very important point. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you get anything less than A's in English and A&P there is NO chance of admission.
The only instance I calculated a chance is a "B" in English, an "A" in A&P and a perfect 100% on the HESI. Other than that, A's in your classes with a minimum 88% on the exam is my observed formula for entrance.
I see why so many (myself included) get so worked up about the HESI. Anyone else taking the test next week at a Lone Star?
If anyone has taken A&P at a Lone Star over a summer session, how did you find attaining an A over the six-week period? Also, if anyone wants to part with a lab book...(?)
I got accepted into the LVN program. But I really want to get into Kingwood. Each one has its own pros and cons but I really do not know what to do. What do you all think?
Applied during the fall and got denied with around a 7.1. Had a B in English which I retook this summer and turned it into an A. So now I'm applying to the spring with a 7.6. It's crazy how competitive the program got all of a sudden. Now I have good reason to be scared I won't get in (again) with this new score knowing that the spring selection is so small.

I can't say definitively but a 7.6 would get in for Spring. I'd go so far as to say anything north of 7.5 gets the nod.

I think you may be correct but if we see a crazy surge in applications like the Fall did then 7.6 could be the cutoff which sounds really crazy. It's a long time till August...
Since I have completed my HESI A2 I'm done with my Elsevier book. Anyone nearby want it to use let me know (btw I'm in NW area). I also have a slim guide I made that I have as a pdf (and one printed copy).
When you take the HESI a 2nd time, how does it differ from the first? I heard there’s two versions.
Sucks that you cant take it twice & send whichever score is higher. Have slightly under a 90 on my first attempt, trying to decide if its worth the risk of trying to get a slightly higher score. I do slightly worse and my chances for this upcoming program are done lol smh.

Well before I answer that, how does the point system work for the grades received in a class? Like does your score differentiate based on an A, A- & A+?
