San jac spring 2018 adn

Brandon_Hare!
Me too! We are clearly in this together. LOL. We are kinda taking the same route. Did you apply to UT Health again for this Spring 2018? We got it this time man. Whether its San Jac, UT Health, wherever. I have a good feeling for us. I was waitlisted to three schools. Eventually got into UTA but I couldn't finish chemistry in time to take Patho/Pharm by fall. Bummer. What's everyone else's stats?
My stats are:
HESI: 92
Cumulative: 3.2 (160+ hours)
A's in all prerequisites for San Jac.
Total points: 23.

Yep we are along the same path. I did re-apply to UT Health & UTA. For Spring I've added TWU, Texas A&M, Sam Houston, San Jacinto and Alvin.

jfskaggs88 you set the bar. I now know that 23 for San jac adn is it. The lady Ms. Jammer at San Jac Central said that two years ago the persons who had the higher total is the ones who set the bar for incoming students. I'm just praying that it's not that many people who land in the 20's I'm hoping that majority of the people have 18. My score is low compared to yours so I know you are getting in you and Brandon_Hare.

Niknik718!

I appreciate that for sure BUT I think we all have a good chance of getting in if your stats are good. 18 isn't bad at all. I think there are probably plenty of people who have gotten in with an 18 or lower. Brandon_Hare and I have been working on this "getting into nursing school" thing for a while. LOL. So we've had time to get an idea of what makes you competitive. I've retaken classes, the HESI, etc.

Brandon_Hare, did you take the new TEAS test? How was it? Ugh. I don't even want to go that route again. LOL. I feel like I am done taking entrance exams for a little bit. But we have to do what we have to do to get in right?!

I've taken the TEAS twice...once before the change then another after. I honestly couldn't tell a huge difference in the 2 tests. My score increased the second time, but that reflected the the amount I put into studying more than anything. My overall the second time was an 84%, which I wasn't too happy with, but I'm not taking it again. The HESI is by far the easier exam.

I'm scared cause I want this so bad.

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty nervous about my scores being good enough as well.

My scores

Hesi 90

GPA 3.1

Rubric score is 17 but that is with missing one of my prereqs which you can still have 1 in progress.

I turned in my application with a 25 on my rubric. Now there's all this Castle Branch paperwork to do, has anyone started theirs? Good luck to everyone!

Awesome stats! Yeah, I started working on mine already. You literally have to have everything in by the 09/01/17 which I initially thought there would be a little wig room on that. Except the physical and the Blue Card thing. That you do later I believe. I would recommend doing it ASAP. I have everything in except MMR. I went to get my titers checked and I was immune for everything but mumps so I had to start the whole thing over again.

No joke...I find it ironic that the ADN programs have the strangest requirements that are all due prior to the application deadline.

And it's kind of expensive to get everything done. It would suck to go through all that and not be accepted. I was going to apply last semester but I decided to wait and boost my scores another semester with the hopes of only having to apply once lol

Unfortunately you're not telling me anything i don't already know. I have been denied 6 times overall to various schools and am applying to 8 nursing programs for Spring 2018. So far I've spent around $1500 on application fees, transcripts, testing, & titers.

Fortunately, if you get everything done quickly for San Jac at least you'll have everything ready to go when other nursing schools require it. It definitely does get expensive. I've thrown away so much money applying to nursing schools, taking tests, redoing classes, etc. But when we all get in it will be beyond worth it for sure.

Wow @Brandon_hare that is dedication! I hope it pays off for you, that's smart to apply to more than one school. When I dropped off my application with Ms. Robins she told me 90 some students were being admitted this year. So it definitely sounds competitive.
