UTA Fall 2013

Nursing Students Texas (UTA)

Published

I thought I would start a thread for those applying to UTA for Fall 2013; AP or on-campus. I will be applying to both and am hoping to find a job at a partnered hospital before the January 5, 2012 deadline.

Since my application I took HIST 1312, NURS-UL-3366 (Patho), and engl 1302. I have all my sciences done with a 4.00

Did that give you 30 hours? That is the only consideration I can have. Without it I simply don't stand a chance. Plan to take patho with my 2 history classes in the spring.

Oh, I thought you were grandfathered in for Fall 2013. The 30 hours have to be completed prior to the app deadline in order to be a consideration. I had 3 of the 4 sciences completed prior to the app deadline, and I am working on the 4th one now. They only look at the credit hours/grades that you have earned up to the app deadline.

At the time I applied I had completed 3 sciences. I am just now finishing microbiology and patho. Taking pharm in the summer and will have all my prerequisites done. I start The AP BSN program in the fall. Not partnered.

Wow!! You got in without all the sciences? Good job!! Any other considerations?

Patho was the only thing keeping me sane while taking History. It is a great class. I guess I didn't have 30 hours, I had 23, maybe that's what kept me back. Hoping my advisor will give me some insight.

Patho and Pharm are not one of the natural sciences considered in the Science GPA. Although I am surprised they admit students who have not completed them yet. I am in the same boat as LCordelia. Wrapped up both A&P's and Chem prior to the deadline. Just finished Patho, in Micro now, and taking Pharm this summer.

I have a bachelor of social work from UTA and 30 hours at UTA. 4.0 in science and 3.25 GPA. I wonder if having invested so much at UTA already counted at all in my favor because I have seen people with higher GPAs and one or two considerations get rejected.

I also took my sciences at TCC so I could finish them on time. I didn't want to take the biology prereq for microbiology at UTA so I took that at TCC too. I had heard that taking sciences outside of UTA would count against you but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Online lectures were great for me. But you really need to have the discipline to study on your own. Otherwise, it was great.

Not going to lie, Chemistry sucked. But I managed to get an A. You have to conduct labs in your kitchen, fill out lab reports, scan them, and upload them to BB. The exam questions have multiple answers, or none of the above, all of the above... ugh. And there is a lot of homework. He did offer extra credit, though. It was my least favorite class, for sure. Make sure you watch his lecture videos...he gets a lot of his test questions from them.

I took chem online at TCC and the lab on campus. I thought it was pretty easy and straightforward. Not a walk in the park, a little boring, but totally doable.
