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...(?)

Add your gpa for English and your gpa for anatomy and divide by 2. then add your hesi score
example: 3.5+4=7.5/2= 3.75
HESI: say you made 90. Divide that 90 by 25= 3.6
then add the 3.75+3.6= 7.35 out of 8
hope that helps.

So before I finally got an A in Ap1 I had a B and an A in English and it showed me my score was a 6.9 something. It’s a huge difference cuz when I got my A it jumped all the way up to a 7.505

You’re welcome remember mine example is just an example. Try to get all A in prerequisites and aim for minimum 88 in HESI especially if you decide to apply for spring start date. Spring is super competitive because space is limited.
I have my resources I used for hesi that I plan on giving away.
