Did you turned in the same application you made from Spring to fall cohort without any changes to improve your chances of getting in?

Hey! No I did not. I raised my GPA a little, my HESI score and had new LORS!

Do you mind telling us how you were able to raise your GPA and what is your GPA?
how were you able to raise your HESI score also and what’s the breakdown of your HESI score? Also, did they allow you to take the HESI more than twice?

what about your LORs, how many you have and from whom?

just taking pointers . Thanks

Hey! My LORs both time were from old boss in medical field and a professor of mine. Just different people I chose both times. I just took the HESI twice and I don’t remember my breakdowns exactly it was a while ago but I average at like 89% I believe. First time was a 80%. My GPA was raised by just retaking some GE classes and micro. Are you waitlisted? If you are, they just want to see you trying to improve yourself in ways if possible. Be waitlisted is a good thing because that means they recognize your application! I would make apt with a counselor and she can help direct you on what you would want to do to your application to improve it! Best of luck!! I hope that helps!

Hello,

just curious why did you have to retake micro? Did you get a C and retake it or did you fail and retake it?

was the 89% your over all HESI score or was that an average % you got for each categories of the test?

Do you mind if you tell us what’s your GPA?

thanks

I retook micro because I took it 8 years ago and got a C in it so I wanted to get a better grade. 89% yes was my overall. My overall GPA is a 3.3

How did they notify you about it? Did they send you an email or was it just updated onto your financial aid portal? Thank you ?

It should be updated on the financial aid portal. If not, you can contact the school and they can give you the number to your financial aid advisor.
