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!

56 spots?! I could've sworn the counselor at my session said 48, but omg that's amazing news!

Yes! They told us today, it's new for the Fall (and continuing on from there).

Hey guys,

I attended the signing session June 8 with 96 points. It's great news that they increased the amount of students they're accepting to 56!! I'm a little worried though because I'll be in vacation from July 1-15, the time they'll be calling to inform if you got in or not. Does anyone know if they'll tell you by email? Also, the administrator didn't point out that I had to pick a date for the BSN Contract Signing Session held between July 18-19th on the affirmation of student readiness sheet. I just initialed on that spot.. do you guys think it'll be okay to pick a date once I find out if I got in? Or should I just call them now?

Thanks and good luck to everyone!!

I was there too! I agree that it's great news they are increasing the number of admits. They said they're going to call the people who made it in and send letters to those who did not. I imagine that they're going to call and leave a vm if you don't answer. They may send an email if they're not able to get in contact with you. Will you be out of the country or a place that you will not have any cell service at all? If so, I'd contact them to let them know this. I'm sure it won't be a big deal for them to email you.

Regarding the BSN contract signing date, you weren't required to pick a date now. You just need to make sure you're available for one of two dates. Of course you wouldn't chose a contract signing date until you've been accepted.

I am not sure how other signing sessions went, but we were told to choose a date, circle it and then initial. And if we get in, then we must attend the specific date we chose for the contract signing. Just to be sure, I would call now. Before any decisions are made.

Oh wow, ours definitely did not cover that. Anyone else from the 8th get told to do that? I was only asked to initial and sign.

I was at the session on the 7th and they just had us initial as well. He mentioned that we will pick our date/time OR the school of nursing will assign one to us.

I also think it depends on if you will be out of the country or somewhere else in the United States! You should still be able to answer the call if you're here in the U.S. If you miss the call, I've seen on previous threads that you can just call them back and ask. Just to be sure, I would totally call the SON and tell them your situation!

Was the BSN Contract Signing Session dates ONLY July 18th and 19th!?! I'll be out of town those days! If so, I guess I have to figure something else out with my trip. Also, I'm over here getting ulcers!!!! This is sooooo nerve racking!!! Please God make the cut off score not be higher than it was last fall!!! I just looked at the Fall 2017 thread and we should get our calls around July6th.

I sure hope so!

Hey! Yeah I'm going to be out of the country just for those days. But I emailed the advisor that came and she just said to call SON's main office to tell them my situation. And I just saw the email that they sent about the contract signing date so thats a relief!

Hi everyone!

I finally got all of my grades back and HESI score so I am officially applying with 96.6 points... I got all A's in my prereqs but only got a 91% on the HESI. I feel like the A&P was super random and not really what I studied. Any advice if I should retake my HESI exam? Everyone on here seems to be in good standing! I'm crossing my fingers for all of you!!!

I'm sure you know this, but don't retake your HESI. Your score is high enough and it'll be a waste of money. If the cut off is above 96, the world is coming to an end. Haha.
