misspink86 I haven't seen GPAs on Econnects. Where would it listed? And is there a way we can verify they have our transcript info listed correctly on Econnects?

Oh I just thought it might be listed to give us an idea. I hope I didnt calculate my gpas wrong, I went to this site to calculate it http://www.foothill.edu/transfer/counseling.calc.html

The only way to know for sure about the transcripts is to call enrollment services. I called today to see if they got my last 2 transcripts and the lady checked and said they did she also did mention it was swamped in the back with transcripts.....I'm just hoping its not all for the nursing school lol

Ms Sealy,
I have heard great things about PV, they told me that the poeple that don't succeed are those that come in thinking they know everything. But for the most part they said that if you let the profs. know you need help they are there. They liked it so much that the three of them are starting in the master's program.

Also, after speaking to the lady that selects the students for PV she told me that its based on first come first serve on entrance, not on GPA, NET, as long as you meet expectations you are ok. And they are excepting 100 students this year.

I'm glad to get some good feedback on the PV program. I will definitely keep them in mind. Thank you!

That's' exactly what we were told at the OPEN HOUSE, first come first served! Like you said as long as you meet the minimum requirements and get everything in on time while there are spots available, you are in!

misspink86,

Maybe they will add our transcript and GPA info to Econnects later, but it's not on there now.

Oh....
I used the TWU GPA calculator.

Instructions for using the GPA calculator:

First Degree GPA calculator:

For those who already have a degree use this one:

Thanks Ms. Sealy!
They are accepting 60 people this spring right? i was reading on the Fall UTMB thread that they accepted around 65. And do we receive the acceptance by email or letter? It looks like they got the interview and acceptance thru email. But you also receive a letter for the acceptance and by the way they sent the acceptance emails out about a week after they interviewed! really quick

misspink86,

At the UTMB open house, they said there would be 60 accepted, but if you factor in the 10 people who will probably decline acceptance that's more like 70 because they will go to the wait list to cover those spots. Enrollment services expects about 300 applicants and I think you said they are only sending out 100 interview invitations? I like those odds!

They did get the interview invitations thru email, a lot of folks said it went to their spam folder.

AND OMG are you serious, acceptance letters came out a week after the interviews?!
