UNLV SON FALL 2018

Published

Hello everyone! :)

Since the Summer 2018 cohort is about to be announced, I thought I would start the forum for Fall 2018. Who else is applying? I hope the cut off score isn't as high as it was last fall!

FutureCRNA1224,

I am like 90% positive I was sitting next to you today. You were sitting next to the wall on my right hand side, correct? I was talking to the guy right next to us on my left. You had your earbuds in and I didn't want to be rude and disrupt you....

But, yes, that WHOLE room was very awkward. No one talked to anyone (except myself and 1 other) and everyone was so consumed with their phones.

I ended up being the second to last person in the room, so I was there for the whole hour. It was SO. BORING. The first week of July cannot come soon enough!!!

Yes! Lol sorry about that now I'm the awkward one haha. Pretty sad when ANTM is better than the signing session

No need to be sorry. I was wondering what you were laughing about....i should have been watching it too! I thought the signing sessions would have more to them than just literally initialing and signing....

Yeah it was pretty stupid tbh. I'm sure all of us have been scouring past allnurses forums to get info on the program so i didn't think it was really necessary

I️ AM DEAD!!!!! That is sooo great!!! Ahhhh.

How many people were at today's signing session? Based on those who have reported, we're up to about 20ish people that have applied so far.

Best. News. Ever.

There were 9 people there today, I believe.

Think this will lower the cut off noticeably?

I'm not sure. It could be higher because of the 0.5 addition. But it could also be lower due to them adding spots. It could also be the same as it was last fall. It's intimidating with everyone on here having high scores, but rest assured I think there are people applying with 93s. Plus, a lot of people don't comment on here.

I feel like they added more spots because 1) No one can get in lol jk but 1) So many qualified students are applying and getting denied because the cut off keeps rising 2) They have more facility space and faculty to teach 3) They added the .5, so to balance it back out they added positions. 4) To account for the cut off score rising (this kind of goes back to point #1).

All that makes sense. I certainly think the increase to 56 will positively affect the cut off. As in it will cause for a lower cutoff, haha. UNOV also has so many transfers that I can't imagine more than half the applicants have this extra .5 points.

Hey all!

1st of all: YES hooray for 56 admits!!

Just attended my signing session and there were 2 or 3 people who didn't show up. I'm a post-bac transfer as well, so no .5 point for me. I took the Hesi once and got a 94, my points also total 94, but the only thing I have a B+ in is Micro (also, the only thing to retake besides the Hesi). Hoping for a reasonable cutoff so I dont have to retake anything.

Seeing a LOT of high scores on this thread though. Can't wait to hear all of you letting us know when you get your calls!

Fingers crossed!!
