Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has registered to take their HESI in the fall and are planning to apply to Macomb's nursing program for the 2013 admission cycle!? Let me know!

The same thing happened to me. I took A & P in the summer and received a C+. I also took English that semester and got an A. So the following fall I took micro, intro to nursing & retook A&P. I got an A in intro and a B+ in micro & A&...

It wasn't too bad, honestly. You just have to stay motivated & manage your time well.

I took Intro to Nursing, Micro & re-took A&P all in one semester. I took English the summer prior.

March!

Any letters yet?

Anyone receive start date letters yet?

I was #11 with a 3.517 & 86 HESI.

Have any alternates received a call? I was offered a spot on this past Monday.

I was ranked 174 last year (14th alternate) & received a call in January to start in March. Not sure how many they accepted beyond me.

I applied last year & was the #14 alternate. They took 5 alternates at the orientation, so I was pretty much the #9 alternate up until this past January when they called & offered me a spot. I could've started in March, but had to decline my ...

I applied last year with a 3.517 GPA and 86 HESI. I ranked 174, so I was the 14th alternate. They called me in January & offered me a spot, but I had to decline. I'll be reapplying this year with the same scores.

That's what some people think/say, but I honestly don't know. The ranking office said they use an automated system to rank, so it's all based on what the computer formulates & they say it's 50/50, but I really don't know.

I'm not sure about 160, but 162 was 3.35 & 90 and the first 5 alternates were offered a spot in May while at alternate orientation.

Here's a little encouragement for you guys: I applied last year with a 3.517 GPA and an 86 HESI. I was alternate #14 & received a call today to accept a spot to start this coming March! Due to certain circumstances, I had to turn down my spot, so...

Sailboatescape- I took my HESI on the 20th as well and didn't do as well as I'd planned. I too got an 86 (I blame the hour it took us to get started, lol), the exact same score I received when I took it last year. Anyway, I applied last year with a 3...

Soreadyforthis: they originally only accepted 152 people, so if they went up to alternate #174, that means they did accept 22 alternates.

In the past they have sometimes contacted alternates before orientation.

1. That is how it works. If someone from August drops, then everyone moves up a spot. As far as alternates go, if anyone drops from any start month, the alternate list moves. For instance, if two people drop, from any start month, then you're in. 2. ...

Exactly. I always knew that was the HESI composite score.

I know what the formula is. Even after calculating it I'm still ranked lower than someone with a lower composite score. Which is why I say there must be something more to it than just this formula.

And yours was 86.63 right?

It was 86.96
