UTHSC-Houston Fall 2012 Applicants

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello everyone! This thread is for everyone applying to the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. I believe they will be accepting applications from January 15-April 1, so the sooner the better! Their admission requirements are pretty standard:

Minimum Pre-Req Gpa: 2.75

Minimum Science Gpa: 3.0

Minimum HESI A2 score: 75% or higher on all required sections - math, reading comprehension, vocabulary/general knowledge, grammar, anatomy and physiology, critical thinking.

My info is really not that competitive, but I'm going to give it a shot anyways -

Pre-Req Gpa: 3.30

Science Gpa: 3.0 (Barely cutting it! :crying2: )

Overall Gpa: 3.28

Hesi score: 93.3% overall, with my lowest score being a 90.

My gpa is not the best, but I still have 3 more classes to finish this semester, and I'm aiming for all A's! I think the best thing I have going for me is my HESI scores.

Anyone else planning on applying? What are your stats? Any questions? Lets hear them, and good luck to all who are applying!

Yeah what is a conversion score? This is the first I am hearing of it

Are you talking about a conversion score for the HESI? That's the only one I know of and I don't think that it's used. If that's not it, then what conversion score? We all seem to be in the dark here.

Yea I was talking about the conversion score for each component of the HESI that is scaled: 0-100...

BUT FORGET I said anything, I was looking at my scores on my phone and for some reason the chart was displaying the Avg. HESI scores under the conversion score column[ on the Evolve site: selecting the + next to the Admission Assessment Report]

:bowingpurSorry for the confusion.. haha

Hey Guys,

I have not been on here in awhile, been so busy with school! I'm anxious to get back our results but my plans have changed, so if I do get an acceptance letter then there will be one more seat open. I have decided to move to Fort Worth to be closer to my family in order for them to help me with my children when I start nursing school. I'm applying to UT-Arlington now. I wish their program was like UTHSC though, UTA makes you take Pharm, Patho, and Intro. to Nursing at their school BEFORE you can start their program. I've already taken Pharm and made an A in it at Lone Star, so I am meeting with an advisor at the end of March to see if I can get them to approve it. They also have more prereq requirements like college algebra and english literature. It sucks because I have to take those courses (except college algebra, that I already took) before I even know if I get in!!!! So, I got to start this process over again to apply to UTA Spring 2013, but will be taking those other courses this fall there. It will be worth the wait though in order to have the support system that I will get back home! Pray for me!!

Best wishes and God bless nici0513!

Sorry to hear that nici, best of luck to you. I myself, unfortunately, might have to give up my spot if I get it.

Best of luck Nici! I know how you feel. My husband's company has been throwing around the idea of a transfer. At the moment I am digging in my heels and saying no; however, that salary pays the bills so ultimately we will have to do what they want. Definitely not an added stress I need right now! Come on UT make a decision so we can all get on with it!! :)

Best of luck to each of you. I know the waiting is hard:)

hey katy! how are you finding your first semester?

Wahoo! Thanks for the heads up Katybusymom! We are so ready to find out!
