I think the cut off for alternate list was 3.5 GPA and 91 HESI. Because I did not get accepted and or alternate and my grade is a 3.5 GPA and 89 HESI.

So basically I was the last one to not make the cut off for alternative is what I am thinking. Going to retake a course.

I think they base it first on your GPA then HESI scores: SO IF..

3.5 GPA, 91 HESI VS. 3.5 GPA, 89 HESI (they clearly took KLP over me as an alternate)

Seems to me like everyone with a 4.0 and a 3.75 and higher got in! I could be completely wrong, but I WILL TRY AGAIN FOR TCC. It's a numbers game. Congrats to all who got in this go around! I KNOW SOOOO MANY BRILLIANT/SMART nurses who are working now that DID NOT get in their first time. SO I AM trying to not allow myself to get too discouraged, although its a HUGE disappointed, and for those of you who DIDN'T in..understand that feeling. :confused:

That doesn't make sense Igon62..???!! Are you sure?? Why are they letting people with lower HESI scores in, if they have the same GPA? That doesn't make sense AT ALL!!! WHAAATT?? Are you absolutely certain on that?

Accidentally took A&P??? That is a pre-req. you are SUPPOSE TO TAKE! What do you mean tkb89? It doesn't make sense, it must be luck of the draw if what she says is true.

I had a 3.5 GPA and 89 HESI (Higher than both, and I wasn't even asked as an alternate).

I know one of the people KLP on thread was asked to be an alternate, OVER me and that DOES make sense considering he had an 91 on HESI, 2 points higher than me.

In the past, People have been able to just call in and get answers to their questions about why they weren't accepted. In some instances it was even a mistake and their denial was rescinded and they got in! So I would call with any questions.

They wont accept calls with questions, only emails. And the responses are very vague and unhelpful.

I have more specific questions. I am concerned they made a mistake after what was said about others with lower scores getting in over someone else. Please add me to group.
