Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

Hey Cailex-

So get this....UT Acclerated BSN told me they mailed letters for the Accel. program like 2 weeks ago....and I just received mine yesterday and interview tomorrow!!!!!!!!! I had pretty much given up all hope for the accelerated program. I am so stoked and I want it very badly. I think it still will be a pretty competitive selection process though since they are probably interviewing 100+ and only selecting 60 to be admitted so I am told. My undergraduate GPA from Texas A&M is a 3.2, although after taking 3 classes @ Lonestar-Montgomery, A&P I & II, and Human Growth and Development and receiving all A's in those, should spike the undergrad. GPA hopefully to a 3.4 or 3.5. As of right now my nursing prereq GPA is a 3.44 and Science prereqs are 3.71. I am currently taking one more prereq though Lonestar online which is Intro to Sociology, and hopefully will receive an A in that too. Best of luck to you!!!!

Oh, also I scored a 85% total score on the NET, I hope that is good enough!

I started the application process in the spring. I got a letter 2 weeks ago for an interview for the 28th. My biggest concern is how to pay for this. I'm an older student with a previous degree. Anyone know how to get money to pay for UT if I get in?

Yes, I applied to the accelerated program. I've also applied to Lonestar because Montgomery is 2 miles from my house, as so is St. Lukes, and I know I can afford the program. I would much rather go to UT, but the money is really an issue. I've got a daughter in college too.

I have applied to the Fall 2009 Generic BSN program. I have also applied for the UTMB Summer 2009 program (which I'm hoping to get into, because I believe I have a better chance of getting in to UTMB than UT-Houston), and the UTMB Fall 2009 Generic BSN program. For UT-Houston my overall GPA is 3.2, pre-req=3.37, and science=3.5. My composite net score is 77%. Everything is received except my tsi scores / exempt status.....which I was exempt, I will get this figured out soon enough.

Good luck!!

I would like to know any interview tips you might have. How do I prepare for the interview?

Please let me know what they say. I don't know anyone in the program. Thanks for the good luck! I'll let everyone know how it goes. Yes, everyone seems very nice here! I'm glad I found the forum!
