I'm not too sure about the transfer gpa but i'm pretty sure it's uhm credits only. I took a year of classes before I decided to apply for nursing so I had credits. My KCC credits and transfer credits were not incorporated into my cum gpa otherwise it would have been a lot higher.. (i was stupid and took a summer course in my freshman year and got a D). Since you have this semester off pretty much, I would think you should retake pre-req classes you did not get A's in at uhm and get A's in them which would raise your cum and pre-req gpas. I just studied the practice tests over and over again and try to read the newspaper or anything.. i'd say I worked on techniques to eliminate answers for each question.. def look into prefixes, suffixes.. things like that.. the work book practice tests will help you familiarize with the question types and common words. When I got rejected the first time I was very discouraged but if you know nursing is what you want to do, i'll reiterate it again.. don't give up! Also go in for your advising as you will get answers you need directly from advisors so you don't have to rely on word. Best of luck to you!!!!!

Also, look through previous threads. There's lots of helpful info.

Hi! So, i can't answer all of your questions but your situation seems similar to mine when I applied the first time. I am also a transfer from a cali school. So I took the nln and I received verbal 49 math 99 science 99. I took it at UH so I got my scores immediately. The proctor who is a nursing adviser told me to apply anyway even though my verbal score was shy of the 50. So I went ahead and applied for Fall 2011. I had a 4.0 pre-req and 3.3 cum. I applied to only UHM and I got rejected. I went in for a consultation and the advisor told me I was not even considered due to my 49. I was confused because the advisor had told me after I got my nln scores to just apply anyway. Had I had known I would not even be considered I wouldn't had applied. In my mind I think that depending on what their pool of students looked like i would pooossibly have been able to be considered. Anyways, I went ahead and decided I would take the nln again and just hope for the best. I too flew to maui cc. I basically only studied the verbal workbooks. I reeeeally struggle in english. I ended up getting a verbal 79 math 99 science 97. I reapplied for Spring 2012 but this time I applied to both KCC and UHM. I got my KCC letter first and I was put on a waitlist, then took off and accepted (someone who was accepted declined) and then I was accepted to UHM. You should definitely go in for advising to clear up all of your questions so you know you are hearing indefinite answers. On the forum you can see general scores on the nln, cum gpa, and pre-req gpa but it also depends on the pool of applicants that you are applying with and how you line up next to them. If I were you I would retake the nln (study verbal like crazy), retake pre-req classes at UHM or a CC and get A's. Also, KCC takes into account experience so you should try to volunteer or get any work experience or shadowing possible. This will also help you to network and learn hands on. I know it's stressful but if it's what you really want to do you should go for it!!!!! I hope that was somewhat helpful.

No I'm not sure I didn't ask.. but i think there's 14 spots for each teacher!

I also got Hodges! :]

I have a pass for the semester in the structure, but I know people find parking in the residencial by Busad?

You should check with them to make sure you have the exact one they want just in case! If not you can jus sign up with uhm (best part, it's freeeeee!!!)

Yay gocards! Did you guys sign up for cpr class? If so which day?!

Yay! Congrats!

Hey! I think I'm just gonna stick with red cross! I'm so relieved I don't have to go through the kcc alt list! Excited to meet you all soon! :)

I could also be on yet another alt list Have you all gotten your first/aid cert? I'm going to the red cross but it's costing $170.. any better suggestions?

Hi keala0102! I'm currently enrolled at UHM so maybe that's why yours hasn't changed yet. So, my "Primary Program" changed to "Bachelor of Science", my "Program" changed to "Nursing-BS", my "College" changed to "Schl of Nursing&Dental Hygiene" and my "Major and Department" changed to "Nursing, Nursing".

Did you get the email about being alternative & the health requirements? Just to confirm, this means we don't need to have CPR/First Aid Certification AND all of the shots/vaccines right?

I checked last night & my status had not changed so I was bummed but it did this morning and now I'm confused! I am freaking out! This waiting game is driving my insane!!!!

It's junk that KCC & UH notify at different times. Does anyone know if UH notifies before the KCC orientation? Also if we pay the $888 we will be refunded, right? Btw, congrats 2BeOrNot2Be & happyheart65!!! Will you both be attending KCC or would you prefer UH if you get in?

I got 2 b's & all a's but I'm missing anthro. But foe uhm my prereq gpa is 4.0. I got a 99 math 99 science & 77 verbal but 143 composite. I also wonder how many who were accepted & alternate list also applied to Uh. I've also heard about KCC's great reputation but uh is a bsn program. Are they implementing the new curriculum ao kcc students can get bachelors after associates degrees this coming semester? Wow. That's interesting keala! I guess I have to really cross my fingers!

Are you planning to do the orientation regardless? Just wondering, how were your scores & gpas?

I just received my letter today & I am on the alternate list. I'm a little curious as to how many students were accepted & how many of us there are on the alternate list? I'm pretty discouraged... hcs808, I was also wondering if it is possible to get into UHM and not KCC? Also, we are required (even as alternates) to have CPR & First Aid certification by the orientation. Does anyone know of a good place that they've been to that I can go to that is fast?
