Re: Texas A&M HSC-Any grads or current/prospective students?
I was lucky enough to get accepted into Texas A&M HSC CON, CS. I can tell you that it is not the easiest thing I have ever done. I just finished the summer semester which consisted of three classes and next semester I will be taking pathophysiology, pharmacology, informatics and fundamentals.
I have to say that I love it though. I have great profs. Everyone out there is extremely helpful. My class is the second class for the program in CS. Basically, they took the profs from the CC A&M. So the program has been around for a while, just not in CS.
I can tell you that it is very competitive. I, like you, had a 4.0 going into the program. I would have to say that, for the most part, they will not accept anyone with less that a 3.4. If I were you I would come by and visit with the faculty.
It is not cheap either. A laptop and a PDA are required. You will also have to take a HESI A2 test to get in.
A positive, you get to go to the A&M football games and use the REC.
If you want anymore details let me know and I will speak with the assisting Dean and get back to you. You can also go to the website.
