UNLV Fall 2019

[nurseb00]

Hello! Thought I would start a conversation with pre-nursing students applying for UNLV BSN Program for Fall 2019 Cohort. Do you mind sharing your experiences in your pre-requisite classes and your stats? What preparations are you doing to apply? Any experiences with counselors that advised you what the cutoff score might be? Looking forward!

@dndlgd, What about your Chem 108? Your stats are good. I haven’t calculated yet since Idk your Chem 108 yet but it looks like it would be around 94. I didn’t receive that follow up email either btw. So if your Chem 108 is an A and a B in Nurs 299, I calculated 93.01:

grades: 82/22x10= 37.27 pts

attempts: 13 pts

hesi: 374/8.75= 42.74

overall: 93.01

If I’m mistaken, please correct. Thank you!

Hi I’m sorry, I forgot Chem 108. I got an A with one attempt. Additionally, my first grade for NURS 299 was a W so I was told it would not be included in the science GPA calculation portion.

@dndlgd, hi sorry about that. Nurs 299 kicked my butt too. Not sure how to calculate that but if it’s simply omitting Nurs 299, I think I got 88.92. I would call SON to be sure. It won’t hurt, everyone seem helpful there. Agreed with Jessica, it’s your career at stake here.

I’m so confused! Why would my advisor say it’s in the 94 range and encourage me to apply? ? I will call the school of nursing today

Hey guys, I guess my advisor calculated my score wrong. My actually points were 92.45. Thanks for your help.

[nurseb00]

@dndlgd, I don’t know. So sorry. I was told that none of the prereqs that are considered for points should still be in progress to apply since we need all the points we can get. However, your adviser might know something more. Definitely verify.

Sorry I gave the wrong calculation! Glad you were able to clarify!

Thank you! I have an exam today so I have to make sure I do well even though I feel a bit sad. Good luck to you guys! Thanks so much for your support.

Congrats to those that got in!

When I calculated my score I got a 91. I just called the SON to make sure. The lady told me I scored at 94 but did not get in. Would that be possible if someone got in with 93s?
