The MATH 1013 is because they made changes to the core curriculum. At orientation we were told that if you've taken classes at TWU before Fall 2007 then the MATH 1013 was not needed, only for the new students to the college entering beginning Fall 07.

HI EVERYONE,
Well

HI EVERYONE,
Well right now im completing my nursing core and im applying for TWU in the Spring 2008. I dont have a very good GPA, is a 3.74 and Im in the 96 percentile of reading and math, according to my NET test . Im sooo scared that Im not going to be able to make it TWU. Im only 19 yrs old, but I have the greatest passion and I have worked so hard for this.
Does anybody have any advise or does anyone know the GPA cut-off for the last few semesters?

Thanks,
bjane

what about for people who did not do their prereq's at TWU denton? Would they still have to take it?

When i attended a million years ago the only math they required was Statistics. I think the gpa cut off was around 3.5 but I honestly can't remember. I went to the Dallas campus so maybe all 3 locations are different???

Just to warn you though, when I attended they had a test called the HESI. Sort of a nursing aptitude test to see if you'd pass NCLEX or not. They made everyone stress out over it but it was really a piece of cake. I only mention it because if you didn't pass the HESI nursing test you did not graduate. My big problem with that was the degree was a Bachelor of SCIENCE that allowed ou to take the NCLEX, not specifically a BSN. There were several people in my class not awarded degrees only because they didn't pass that exam but still passed every course they took. So if you are a person who isn't a great test taker, I'd opt for another school.
Good luck in whatever you decide.

Hey bjane,
It sounds like you stand a really good chance, more so than you give yourself credit for. May I ask which campus (Hhouston or Denton) that you are applying to. I did not take my pre-reqs in Denton and the vast majority of us here on the Houston campus did not. Keep your chin up, I bet that you will be pleasantly suprised

I think I remember some girl that posted on here. She had applied to TWU, and was excepted with something like a 3.2 or 3.3. She had failed out her first semester of college, making it impossible to bring up her GPA to a 3.7 where the cut off was. She had 4.0 on science prerequisites and had gotten her act together after her first semester.

Apparently they looked past it and accepted her with a 3.2. I thought that was really cool.

They still have the HESI and there are still some students not passing the exam.

i asked a TWU rep about the Qualitative Math class.. She told me that applicants don't need it to apply.... they are going to implement that pre-req in the future but not right now. this is their "Transition" time... i guess they are going ahead and printing it out in their catalogs and putting the info up online for reference...

i was accepted spring 2005 and the cutoff was 3.76. HESI is still around. you get 3 shots. i only know of one person that did not make it with those three tries. TWU awards a BS, not a BSN, which supposedly doesn't "pigeonhole" you into nursing.
