First time to post here and I am in total shock! Songbird1, I cannot believe you're an alternate. I was so confident about my 11.47. I heard the cutoff would be an 11.4 so I didn't re-take my Hesi. My husband is going to have a cow!!

Thanks for all of your feedback everyone! I feel encouraged! I just need to be more open minded and apply elsewhere as well. It really is that competitive here in Houston, Texas. The college I'm attending, we're on a point system with 12 being the max. My B has me at a 10.83 and the cutoff was 11.2 last semester. I earned points for having my prereq's done and for my high scores on the HESI entrance exam. The seats are just limited and only all A's are getting in. PCStudent2009, I thought those were good grades too! Thanks for your feedback!

I'm am normally the most positive person. That is the only way I can operate. I have to put a positive spin on everything, but today I am really struggling. Everyone is talking about how hard nursing school is and I can't even seem to get in. I have all of my prereq's done. I got A's in all of my prereq's and a B in AP1 and that one B is absolutely killing me. I have applied to 4 different ADN programs and I can't get in. My husband is tapping his foot waiting for me to get done with school so I can contribute with some $$$. I'm getting worried. I was so proud of my grades and all of the hard work put in. I never imagined that all A's and one B wouldn't be good enough to get into an RN program. Should I re-take AP1 and try to get an A the second time around? That will mean yet another semester will pass me by as I wait to be accepted. Why don't colleges allow for more seats to alot for 3.5 GPA's and above? I have 2 of the prettiest little girls and a really sweet husband. I'm doing this for them. I feel like I am letting them down. Depressing isn't it? I can't get out of this funk today. I'm just really discouraged right now. Help me! Give me a positive perspective please ladies!
