UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

I haven't received such a letter =( I got one that said they needed by transcripts on monday. I called tuesday and they said they got them in. So hopefully I'll that eligible letter soon.

According to them the school only gives grants to 8% of students, which is kinda crap. Hopefully that's wrong because they don't seem to have any other numbers reported. The last thing I need is more debt.

What school did you get your prereqs from FutureRN? What other schools are you applying to?

I'm not particularly worried about the TEAS. I've looked at some of the practice math and it all seems really basic (ie real world math). And reading is...reading.

I really only have chem 2 and micro + labs and the art credit to go, but that isn't enough hours for full time, so I've taken on a few nonessential courses for this fall.

My Current Class List for Fall09

Introductory Microbiology
Introductory Microbiology Lab
Elementary Organic & Biochemistry
Organic and Biochemistry Lab
Intro To Clinical Lab Sciences
Basic Philosophical Problems
Introduction to Music Industry

Hey all, welcome itsMEKassiah! Good to hear from you... Hey CE, yeah I took all my prereqs at El Paso Community College, finished them all already this past spring... no classes pending, now just waiting to get back to school at UTHSCSA. My wife and I are moving to San Antonio in exactly two weeks, she's gonna be teaching (just graduated, now it's my turn for a degree). I also applied to SAC but would much rather prefer UTHSCSA as would anyone. Hey itsME, I see from your profile you work at Flying Saucer? That's my absolute favorite hangout place when we've visited San Antonio (about 10 visits in the last year) and it's going to be my "Cheers" (preferred hangout) when we move in two weeks! Anyhow, it's good to see people on this board... as CE said, Spring didn't seem to be as popular as Fall but now we seem to be rolling. Let's see who else joins us in the coming weeks so we can all share our stories and apprehensions together. Are you all trying for the generic like me? What TEAS study guide did you get itsME or is there only one to choose from? And is it at Barnes&Nobles? I'll take a look at it to see if it's worth it. Alright, looking forward to hearing from you all... Cheers!

Well I finally got my eligibility letter...which basically said I was ineligible! My heart sank. I looked at the included transcript, and the GPA written was 0.7 lower than what my transcript had written so I was confused and upset and I called the school and got sent to voice mail which only frustrated me more. I went to go do some chores and when I finished I called again and questioned why my gpa was so low on it, and the guy I spoke to put me on hold. A few minutes later someone else comes on the line and tells me that the letter I got was due to a "system error" and that they had already mailed out a new letter. That definitely lifted my spirits.

itsMekassiah, that flying saucer place sounds familiar. Is there an ice cream shop right near you?

I know a few Kassi's, not spelled that way of course

This is probably what I'm gonna use to study for the test - http://www.testprepreview.com/teas_practice.htm

Where are you taking your last few classes?

I've been to that ice cream shop before. I remember all the flavors were funky and good. And I remember seeing the flying saucer, there was a guy dressed in a weird costume that I can't remember. Not old enough for bars yet though
