1. What you do when you fail clinical at El Centro College in Dallas?

   I would strongly suggest your son talks to the dean. Missing clinicals is not allowed and can result in being dropped from the program. The information regarding the policies are found in the nursing student handbook. Good luck to your son.

   There's nothing that states they can or can't do. Typically tho, once it's in writing, it is hard to deviate from it. I'd be interested in your total Hesi score. The total Hesi is usually the tie breaker as to whether you get in or not if multiple ap...

   The changes were to the HESI point system. They lowered and added an extra layer to the point values. I haven't heard of anyone receiving more points, but several being shorted them. If you scored super high on all of the areas, perhaps you fell in ...

   I believe 28 must be the minimum, but not everyone got in with a 28. It will be important to know what was/ were the tie-breaker(s). In past years it's been cumulative Hesi scores. But, since they changed the scoring without notification, that past u...

   Arienne, Who did you speak to regarding what point system would be "honored"? The woman I spoke to just suggested I contact the Dean.

    I emailed the Dean requesting an appointment, and received an automated response she is out of town until October 26th. I'm not sure if she is truly out of town, or is not wanting to discuss the situation until next week. I do intend to fight the sco...

    Taly12, are you certain you had only 27 points?

    I was shorted 2 points on my Hesi and called the admissions office. They told me the scoring was changed for the point system they used for scoring, but the website and written materials still shows it to be what was communicated in the admissions pa...

    Thanks for the information regarding the addresses. I had hoped they would use the one in the system. Keeping my fingers crossed I receive my letter tomorrow. Good luck to you.

    Has anyone who lives outside of Dallas received their letters? I haven't yet, but live in suburbs, changed addresses, and hoping it's just a mail delay. The suspense is killing me!
