lonestar nursing 2014 hopeful

Published

Hi, just wanted to start a post about my process of applying at lonestar. Hope to hear from other applicants! I have just taken my HESI and will be applying for the spring semester with a score of 11.54

90 alternates seems crazy even for both campuses....I thought they would get like 20 for each campus normally. Man just about everyone that applied got accepted or an alternate...Did anyone get a denial letter?

Jenn it means I have attempted to many hours. I was going for something else and once I decided what I really wanted to go to school for I had already taken a lot if courses that don't even apply to my major. I think a community college only allows you to get financial aid for like 100 something hours.

only up to 90 credit hours at the community college.. My appeals went through the next day I applied.. I did mines Dec. the 11th online on my student records. I was given a paper form from cyfair, but I noticed you can apply online If shows up on the left corner of your "my student records screen". There is a handy link. I was accepted the next day, but just noticed it and then the lonestar website started their site updates until noon tomorrow.

Gayla can you tell me how many hours you were at? Were you suspended for the same thing?

Or can you inbox me and let me know plus give words of wisdom.

Okay last year I had my financial aid disappear and than someone told me from the fa department that I have met my lifetime max..I was like what....I went in person and it ended up to be a mistake. The fa advisor told met that this law Obama made in regards to a student only being able to have so many credit hours or so much money. There is a max you can receive in your lifetime. She told me in the past students were able to get fa as long as they wanted as long as they qualified. Now students that take courses to major in something than change their mind might run into problems due to this new law. Is this what they are referring to in your case?

I don't think they send out denial letters until they have everyone in classes. They can accept people until the first day of class. So I guess that means that even if someone was accepted, but does not show up, they can still give that spot to someone on the alternate list. So, please please please, if you don't want the spot, let the school know. If someone drops out after classes have begun, they cannot fill the spot, and that would be an alternate that loses out on their chance.

Maybe just because u have a schedule does not mean squat till they check your submitted paperwork before the semester starts, but than again I do not know
