Hello all fellow applicants for TCC's Fall Semester 2018!
I have been scouring the most recent TCC post, and the latest applicants have been offered their seats in the program, woohoo!!! As a result, I have decided to post a new thread for the next round of applications.
Just curious, will anyone be a resident of Virginia for only a short time before applying? I will be moving in December and I was wondering if my measly two month-long residency will hold up as well against someone who has been a resident of Virginia for over a year.
Happy application cycle! :) Hope to see some of you someday soon.
Hey guys!!!! I did my HESI today and am hoping to be admitted in to the Fall Cohort! Have a 4.0 and 92% on the hesi, so very hopeful. How is everyone else feeling??
I only got a 76% on my hesi. It was too low alsst time and I'm sure it'll be too low this time. I just don't wanna get my hopes up, so I'm setting myself up for disappointment. I really really wanna be a nurse and get into school but I just test so poorly. I have everything else going for me. Good gpa, all my classes complete, and a college degree. It's just the damn hesi that's standing in my way.
AWw thank you! I hope you do too! I'm sure you will! Unfortunately no. tcc only allows you to take it once within a year and I took it in June. But if I don't get in I'll apply to sentara and Hampton university. I can take the teas for sentara and retake the hesi for Hampton.
That's awesome! You should definitely apply up several programs. Try to remember that no one is guaranteed a seat no matter how high the GPA or how well they did on the hesi exam. Everyone is in the same boat as you until April.
I am also applying for fall 2018. I am discouraged now because I scored low on the HESI. I got a 71%. I was so scared to fail the A&P portion that I didnt study the other subjects like I should have. Now I dont even think it is worth it to turn my application in.
It doesn't hurt to turn in the application. I'm in the same boat. Only got a 76% but I'm still turning in my application. Who knows, maybe a lot of people didn't get high scores and that'll bring down the average.
I definitely think it's still worth it to turn it in you never know what they'll take. I wonder what the average hesi % is for accepted students. I got a 91% which I thought was pretty solid but I read a post on here where the lady said she was considering retaking the exam when her score was a 89%
