I got adjusted individual score of 85, is that a good score, bad score or an okay score?

Indiana University at South Bend: 8 seats and 44 applicants... I wonder why only 8 seats

Damn you overachievers... I took TEAS and didn't do so well on it.

I guess but why would they want to spend money and tell my town that I was accepted into the university, or in your case, won a scholarship. What do they have to gain by sending a press release?

How so? They can verify residency by many other ways (ex. asking me to prove a utility bill, DL, or copy of tax forms, etc)

I was applying to one of the universities. In the main application, it asked "What is the name of your local newspaper?" I wonder why they want to know.

Math, reading, grammer, etc are easy. Killer part is the anatomy and physiology section. You have to know the nerves, muscles, bones, veins/arteries. You also have to know which glands secrete which hormone. I had a question that asked which hormone does anterior pituitary gland secrete?

As for anat and phys section? Here's what I remember: -Know the heart valves (mitral/biscuspid and tricuspid) -know the nephron structure (where water gets reabsorbed and where minerals get reabsorbed) - Know the effects of ADH on the kidneys/nephrons -Know the major nerves -Know the various fluids/glands (synovial, sebacious, sudoferous) and where they're found -Know your bones, tissues, muscles, and joints -Know which glands releases which hormones (one of the question asked what hormone does anterior pit secrete) - Know the function of hormones (one question asked which gland regulates calcium levels if they go down) -Know the enzymes and fluids released in digestive tract -Know blood cells (RBCs and WBCs), their functions, and their shape In my classes, we've only covered endocrine, blood, heart, cell structures, tissues, intemengutary system. Only knowing the above topics, I scored 72 on it so I think that once I complete the courses, I can do way better on it.

Did you have to take the HESI A2 anatomy and physiology section for admission into your school? I just took my HESI and did really bad on anatomy and physiology section (I'm actually taking ANAT/PHYS 1 and ANAT/PHYS 2 both at the same time this semester). I scored the lowest on this section. Could the admission committee look at my score and think that maybe I didn't score well on ANT/PHY section because I haven't completed the courses yet? The rest of the sections, I got over 80s.

Lol, I'm not looking for an easy way. Just trying to work with my numbers to find out where I'm competitive. No point in spending money on schools that won't even look at my application because of my stats.

Would you happen to know the names of schools that do lottery and/or give males a preference?

Are you serious? so ANY qualified applicant (one who meets the minimum requirements) has the same chance as the one who exceed the minimum requirements?

Well, there could be other reasons. For example, my school charges me $10 per official transcript release. If I apply to 10 schools, it'll be $100. As a student without any outside financial support, it's hard for me to spend $100 a month on transcripts when I'm already living off of mac n cheese. I can afford $100 over longer period of time (e.g. two months) but until then, I have to submit unofficial copy until I have enough money to order the official one.

I think most colleges accept unoffical transcripts for the time being but eventually, you'll have to send in an official copy before they make the decision.

If that's the case then I would have to agree with you. Personally, first I would just take the direct approach and confront the cheater and tell him/her about what I saw and my concerns regarding grading curve and it's effect on my grade. If that doesn't workout then I'd go the professor. But either way, cheating shouldn't be tolerated.
