Did y'all apply with 33.5 and 33.8 points before or after the interview and writing sample?

That was before I didn't get an interview. I had the 33.8 there were 34s who did get interviews so I was really bummed that .2 points kept me from getting the interview. I am retaking my HESI to hopefully apply with a 37 or better. I've been studying.
I forgot do they accept more applicants in the Fall or Spring semester?
I actually just re read the email that was sent to me about my points from the last (Spring 2018) applications cycle and I actually applied with 34.03
Pre-requisites: 2.9 points
Critical Thinking: 12.3 points
Support Courses: 7 points
Hesi: 11.8 points
I plan on retaking taking my Critical Thinking with hopes to up it about a point or two and retake my Hesi with also hopes to up my score to a 90% or better. When I took it in February my score was 86.80 so I am sure I can get those extra 3.2 points I have been studying. I hope to apply this application round with at least 37-39 points or more if I possibly can. Good Luck everyone I am ready and will be taking my Hesi at the end of this month at TCU. Hopefully we will become classmates in Fall 2018!

How do you suggest studying for the critical thinking exam? I've not taken it before.

Thanks. I thought there might be something to study. Guess it's one less thing to study for.
It is basically questions like you pregnant 14 year old come into the hospital and test positive for STD she ask you not to tell her parents what do you do? or I remember one that was like you get home after a long shift and realize you forgot to review a patients labs what do you do. And it will give you options to pick from.
Well I guess I may need to look into HIPPA law.

I am thinking of just retaking my critical thinking exam with hopes to score may 2 or 3 more points on that. I am afraid to retake my HESI and do worse. I got a 12.3 on my critical thinking the first time around if I would get 2 more points from this I could hopefully apply with a 36.03 I thinking and hoping and praying that will get me an interview. I hope I can redo this critical thinking exam and not have to worrying about the HESI. I wonder where every one is at. We have a month til we have to have applications in and there aren't many comments on this site yet.
Yeah...that sounds like a good plan. I need to start getting my packet together. I'm surprised there's not as much traffic. Hopefully that's a good sign? Ha. I briefly considered retaking the HESI...but I got a 92 the first time and that was a surprise. Haha. Not sure I could do any better. I just really need my points to be enough. The waiting is KILLING ME.
