Hey there! I just so happened to be on at the same time you replied. My message was from 2 days ago so no, i havent taken the hesi yet. The school's testing center was actually open all week but with modified hours. Application deadline is Friday but I was advised by the testing center and its online that it can take 24 hours for results so make sure to get in there early! Maybe you misunderstood my statement about what I was told in the informational meeting. The words came directly from the admissions coordinator. Having a 3.0 and a hesi score of at least 80 (not 75, I misspoke) then your chances of getting in a very high and she said that should get you in. Granted my gpa is far above that. She advised that they receive on average 70 applicants (around that I cant remember if its 70 or 75) and they admit 45. On average they end up admitting 15 alternates because first applicants turn down their slot. So that makes it as so that around 60 applicants are called up. The odds are pretty good if you do decent on hesi and have a good gpa, but its still competitive and hesi biology and chem carries a lot of weight. Goodluck when you take your exam. Chem study is stressing me out as well. I dont understand why its a required topic when its not a prereq either. I took chem well over 15 years ago Its kind of scary that you have to wait 365 days to retake also. But all that we can do is try our best. Who knows, we may be in the same cohort!
