Good luck everyone! I'm really hoping for Dale Mabry Nights. I have a 3.574 GPA and an 83 TEAS score.

According to someone I spoke to at HCC, don’t remember who, they don’t look at your TEAS actual score, only that you passed it. It’s a pass/fail thing. They pretty much look at your pre-req GPA and that you passed the TEAs is my understanding but I could have been misinformed.

Ahh, well, that makes sense, but kind of sucks. Finger's crossed that my GPA is good enough. I've seen that there are some discrepancies in how HCC is calculating GPA. Does anyone know how that's happening? I have a previous BS degree; are they using all of those credits? Or just the pre-req credits?

@Cmailes

You are correct HCC doesn't look at your actual TEAS score. Acceptance is based strictly off GPA.

@mrs_harris__

I would recommend using a GPA calculator to ensure you are calculating your GPA accurately. Previous college degree's does not put you at an advantage over someone who doesn't have a college degree. Also, HCC uses first attempts to calculate your GPA. Unfortunately, many of us in the past didn't take this into consideration.

@Tiese Scott I definitely don't think it's going to give me an advantage; I apologize if it came across that way. I just don't know if the school is going to use all of my previous credits in calculating my GPA as is show on WebAdvisor or if they will only be using the grades I earned with my pre-req courses.

@mrs_harris__

Your message didn't come off that way ? I know some schools take into consideration if you have a previous degree. As far as GPA it's based strictly on our prerequisite courses. Wishing you the best!

@Tiese Scott Thank you!! And you as well!!

Sending good vibes to everyone! Praying for plant city ♥️

I’m hoping for the Dale Mabry Evening/Weekends Cohort. Btw... just checked Web Advisor and my Prerequisites are still showing as not received.

@Tiese Scott mine either! Some people said there’s had been, so maybe they’re doing them in batches?

This should be the week! Fingers crossed for everyone ?

@mrs_harris__

Are your Nursing Prerequsites showing as received now? Mines are still showing as Not Received.
