UNLV SON Fall 2015

Published

I really didn't want to be this person. Meaning the one who makes/follows a blog for the cohort they're applying for. Only because I'm usually a carefree person and I know this will only cause anxiety.

Anyways, we're about a month away from the deadline, how exciting!

Good luck to all of those applying. :)

I can't post my full points yet, since I'm still a week away from taking the HESI, but if anyone would like to share their points, please do. Also, if anyone wants to provide any tips for the HESI, that would be great as well.

I called and scheduled a signing session today and wanted to share some information with those who may have procrastinated, like myself. There are 5 days left with spots available: June 4th, June 18th, June 19th, June 25th and June 26th and majority of these only have 2 spots available. So, if you have not yet done so, definitely call and schedule your appointment.

I look forward to getting to know those applying and hopefully starting a new journey with you guys come Fall. :)

@UNLVH... I want to say it's the higher score of the two, but definitely double check!

@Nkrz... Good luck! :)

I believe it's the higher score of the two as well. I'm just not sure if it's the overall test or individual test scores.

Completely different questions. I actually did worse on AP then my first test, but all my other scores went up lol.

I'm pretty sure they take which ever test has the higher total score of the 4 sections... like I don't think they'll pick and choose the higher of the two to average them together... so on the first attempt you got an 88 and the second you got a 90 they'll use the 90. b/c in the calculations your just taking the total of all 4 sections and dividing it by 8.75 to get your HESI points.

@ UNLVhopeful

So with the HESI you took today is your score higher or lower than the first attempt? What are your points sitting at?

well i scored in the 90's in all sections but got a 74 on the AP section, and I know you have to score a 75. My overall score the second time was 86.5. My first time taking it, all my scores were in the high 80's, but my AP score was 76 and overall score was 84.50. So of course I want to use all the scores I can that are in the 90's and use my 76 AP score lol. Either way, if I used my first HESI im sitting at 90.22, if they let me use the higher scores of the two, I would be sitting at 91.41. Signing session is tomorrow, so guess I'll find out then. It's crazy, I study for the AP section, and I feel confident, but then when I get into the test, it seems as though the questions are nothing like what I studied. Whatever. haha

Oh I gotcha now! Well let us know what they say tomorrow because that's an interesting situation. Good luck! Hope they decide in your favor! You have a good score(;

Ok, I literally just walked out of the signing session. They take the hesi that has all subsections passing regardless of the overall score going up. Also, she told me that this is the biggest cohort they have had, with over 120 applicants. Regarding the points, they don't choose the cut off, it's based on the top 48 of applicants. So if the last person had 90, that was it. So nerve wrecking lol. Hopefully we all collectively have low scores. Seems like people like to be super secretive about their points lol. Good luck everyone. Let the wait begin. We will hear by July 15th

Yeah I knew how they did the cutoff. It goes by the 48th person. I know last sprig was like 89.8 and summer was 89.0. I knew Fall was going to be super competitive! I have a few friends sitting with 96 and 94's. They're sitting comfortably lol. Good luck to everyone!

Yea, she said last semester was 89.7

Yea it's going to be close. That's for sure! Did they say when they would start calling?

First week of July, all calls and denials will be done by the 15th.
