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...(?)

@canickell11 I was just thinking the same thing. To them it might seem like they are no longer interested in it. Especially that the background check is not complete and that may take awhile.

This is a bad decision.

You would need to get the ball rolling on all your Castlebranch requirements if you are an alternate. If you don't complete the items on the list and submit it to Castlebranch before the deadline, your alternate spot will be forfeited.
The reason they do this for alternates as well is because there is a chance for them to get admitted and they would want you to start on time.

Yea for CF the deadline is December 1 and it takes a while to get all your documents together and get your background check. I would just do it anyways or they won’t call you.

Ok. Thanks. I have completed everything. My castlebranch is completed for HCC and San Jacinto. I am just waiting to see if I get into either one as Lonestar is not my first choice and I would not waste money.

Oh wow that awesome for you. Cyfair is not playing. Not sure what to say about the books. Maybe someone from Previous semester can shed some light.
