TCC Spring 2013 Applicants

[shixson]

I have not seen a thread yet so I thought I would get one going for those applying for this Spring.

[jenn311]

I have a 4.0 GPA, and got a 91 on the HESI.

I am applying with 4.0 and 92.5 HESI.

Thanks for sharing JTP09! That makes me feel a little better. :)

Well do a tiny bit better on my 2nd Hesi, 91. But every point counts. My 3.5 is either going to make or break me. I really hope we will all get to meet each other soon enough. Good luck everyone!

What is everyone's GPA going into application time? I am applying to Spring 2013 Semester at TCC. I ended up with a 3.5 (Makes me nervous because I feel like most have higher than that). Wish there were more teachers so they could open up more spots!!

[KLP151]

Lauren i also have a 3.5. What is your hesi score if you dont mind me asking?

[LaurenMC1984]

Does anyone know if the program accepts recommendation letters, and if they do WHOM would you be addressing that letter to??

I have tried calling the secretary to the dean several times, and never got a call back.

I heard so far that most people are having trouble on the vocab. portion of the HESI, maybe because they thought that would be easy and didn't study it. I am focusing on my weakness, MATH and making sure to ACE that.

FLASH CARDS HELP!

That makes me feel better. I have been trying to count on here how many people have 3.5 GPA's. I guess I am just making myself nervous. Seems pretty even across the board. I know they are only looking at 4 sciences to determine your GPA.

3 A's and a B=3.8 (so I don't know where the 3.75 is coming from??) Maybe I am wrong...

I know 2 A's and 2B's is 3.5.

I haven't taken the Hesi yet KLP. I do on the 21st. I know to be competitive you have to make a 90 on it though.

GOOD LUCK!!! Wish they did interviews to determine personality types before accepting. Just seems unfair to me.. Oh well. I am trying to be realistic with my expectations at this point, work hard, and hope for the best!! :)

Part of the HESI relates to personality types and learning styles, so they are not evaluating applicants blindly. Also, the personal interview process would be lengthy for 400 applicants.

Dear Lauren,

Don't stress. It will all be ok and you are going to ace the HESI! From your nursing school 2013 bestie Montana. Positive thoughts!
