TWU Spring 2010

Yes, I think that is right. That is what I was told by my advisor. The GPA is super important, but the HESI scores definitely factor in as well. I was told that the HESI counts for more than the NET used to, but he wouldn't tell me the EXACT breakdown for how they weight the GPA vs. HESI scores. But a good HESI score should definitely help balance out a lower GPA. (So ridiculous that a 3.7 is considered LOW in this process...) Anyhoo, I was told about 6 weeks ago that a 3.8 plus a HESI score of 85 or better should get you in to the Dallas program at TWU. It is also true that there are more spots in Houston (110 vs. 80 I believe), so it is somewhat easier to get into the Houston program.

I really like how they tell everyone something different! It is so annoying! How hard is it to agree on telling everyone the same thing??

Hmm...that is interesting. I thought the NET was supposed to be easier than the HESI. Is there a separate study guide for the NET and HESI? I got the NET study guide since it's coming up faster for me.

Also, I just wanted to get an idea of who is applying for the Houston campus versus the Dallas campus. It seems that I'm all alone so far for Houston unless I was reading too quickly.

Has anyone used the Elsevier study guide for the Hesi? I bought it and it arrived on Friday, haven't taken a look at it yet since I have been busy taking Micro. It will probably wait until the week before I take the test at the rate I'm going. What a procrastinator I am. Oh well, I studied like that for the NET and made an 85.

I am applying to both, but Dallas is the one I would prefer (already live there!). For those of you that have applied before...is there a way on the application to say that one campus is preferred over another campus?

I was told by an advisor that you indicate on the application which campus you are applying for, and that you can apply to both. That way, if you do not get one of the Dallas spots, you will still be in line for a spot in Houston.

Are there two separate applications for either UT Houston or TWU? (application to the university and application for the nursing school) I thought there was, but it doesn't seem like it...
