Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

Thanks Brooke.ACC!

The GPA they'll be using is only for the nursing pre- and co-reqs. Since you've completed all 10, then your multiplier will be just that. You get 5 review points and 1 point for turning in the verification form stating that you've taken the online nursing session (this is on the ADN website under Information Session...go through it, answer the questions at the end and print out the form).

For example, if an applicant has a 3.7 GPA (from all nursing pre- and co-reqs), that would be multiplied by 10 (number of pre- and co-reqs taken)= 37 + HESI score of 10 = 47+ 5 review points and 1 point for info session= 53 total points.

According to the in-person nursing info session the cutoff for the past few semesters have been 52-53....but I guess will find out soon enough.

Hope that helps!

Hey Brooke.ACC,

Were you able to use a calculator during the HESI or was one provided for you? I'm making sure I know the math portion without using a calculator....just in case.

Thanks!

YES, you are able to use a calculator and they had a box full of them there for you to use!! I'm pretty sure you can bring your own with you too, so if you had one you practiced with, i would bring that one.

And don't forget that you have to bring your receipt from the ACC's cashiers office for the $40 you paid. They check for it before you enter.

And they didn't tell us this in the information email, but write down your evolve username and password and bring that with you too. They have a list of everyone's i think, but i was able to login using my full name and email, but it would just be easier to write it down before you go and have it ready.

I am getting so excited to apply!! The cutoff for 52 just seems really low, doesnt it?? I mean, everyone in my class was obsessed with getting A's in everything it seemed? If you had all A's, you would get 56 points.

I have a 3.9X10=39, HESI=10, 1 info+5 review=6....Total=55

I have a feeling I will be starting in the spring! Hopefully we all get in!!!

Just took the test and I'm glad that's over and done with....Can't wait till tomorrow!

CONGRATS! :anpom:

It's that time again.....

I'm so excited...I'm waiting till the door opens at 8am so that I can be the first one to turn in my application

Yay!!!!

....and now the waiting begins.

Just wanted to say GOOD LUCK to all those applying for Spring 2012!....May we ALL make it through!

Yes, now comes the most agonizing part. I am enjoying my summer off right now between level 1 and level 2 but honestly I'm ready to get back. I just wanna get this going to get done! lol!

I'm not even in the program and I feel like it's taking forever. I too want this (ADN program) to be done and over with. I heard that back in the day ACC offered an accelerated ADN program....not sure if that's true or not....but if the ADN program decided to have a full summer session, I'd be up for that. I would rather push through and continue studying throughout the summer to graduate earlier....I just want to be a nurse already!

HEY YOU GUYS!

For those of you who have applied, have you received an email yet about nursing skills?? I know we are supposed to get an email sometime in July, but it's almost half way through and no word yet.
