1. UTHSCSA Spring 2013

   girlwarrior replied to Jisna210's topic in Texas

   I love using e-books. I didn't use them first semester, but I wish I would have. Second semester I used them, and loved it. The only downfall is you can't sell them back, but you can rent the e-book.

   girlwarrior replied to Topher53's topic in SRNA

3. UTHSCSA Spring 2013

   girlwarrior replied to Jisna210's topic in Texas

   This page has been pretty quiet! A lot of us "upperclassmen" and/or Peer Advisors have been wondering about this. Anybody make a FB page? If so, just put the name here and we can probably help answer some questions for you or give a little bit of ins...

4. UTHSCSA Spring 2013

   girlwarrior replied to Jisna210's topic in Texas

   For the class of December 2013 (started Spring 2012) the average TEAS was 76.77. For the class of May 2014 (started this Fall) the average was 79.1. Accelerated class of May 2012-- 86.3 Accelerated class of May 2013-- 82.87 When it comes to the accel...

   girlwarrior replied to youresocurious's topic in Texas

   I think there is a waiting list. Yes, you need your pre-reqs. After that, then apply. After you apply, then they will send an invitation to take the TEAS. I believe to have a fighting chance to get in a 3.0 is the absolute minimum. A 3.5 would be mor...

6. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

   girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

   Congrats to those of you who were accepted. For the end of the alphabet... don't fret! When I received my acceptance e-mail last year it wasn't until 5 or so in the afternoon. (My last name starts with "W". ) Also, (at least for us) there was a non-...

7. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

   girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

   Usually there's 500-600 applicants for 140-ish available seats. My semester (currently first semester) there was only around 300. I've heard there was more for fall 2012 because of glitches from my semester. & us students are just on spring break...

8. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

   girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

   *The e-mail was the admission letter, btw. So, you all should hopefully be hearing something soon.

9. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

   girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

   Just looked through my e-mails and... Three weeks exactly, in an e-mail. :) We didn't have "as many" applicants, so I don't know if that may affect the amount of time or not.

10. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

    girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

    I would start now just in case. I believe there's a Hep A/Hep B combo that takes a shorter amount of time. They will work with you, BUT you wouldn't be able to register until all of your immunizations are done with. The meningitis one too... and the ...

11. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

    girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

    For me, the only really difficult course is Pharmacotherapeutics. What I've already noticed that when you get to the drugs, you have to understand the basics in order to understand the rest. It'll end up snowballing at the end if you don't "get" it f...

    No problem. I'm glad to help. :) If y'all have anymore questions feel free to ask. :)

13. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

    girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

    @LiveLaughLoveLearn: I was born & raised in SA so I don't really know how it correlates to Dallas. But from what I've heard from some of my classmates, housing is pretty affordable. I would suggest, once admission notices are sent out, that your ...

    girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

    My advice: Don't stress out. They'll try to scare you during orientation and/or the first couple of weeks of school... I suppose to prepare you for the worst just in case. But, really, don't worry. Yes, you'll be very busy. Yes, you'll have to study ...

15. UTHSCSA Fall 2012

    girlwarrior replied to polysaturate's topic in Texas

    I think my pre-req GPA was around a 3.6-3.7-ish. I'm not sure because my SAC cumulative/degree GPAs are different and it doesn't include all of the classes. My TEAS score was kind of low though. I think it was a 80 or so total. (Sorry, it's so long a...
