UTA Spring 2012

McKinneyMom · May 19, 2011

@tejas,

I so relate with you on not being able to go to an on-campus program in this life phase with three little ones at home.

I calculated my GPA with the classes I have taken than count in their calculation and it's 3.6, with a science 4.0. I talked to my advisor and she said that the average GPA of those accepted who were not partnered was 3.8 and the average wait-listed GPA for those not partnered was 3.7.

If I don't get in for Spring 2012, I'll try to find a PRN/part time position at a partner hospital in order to be more competitive for Fall 2012. At least then I'll have finished all the pre-reqs and have a little time to work a night or weekend.

It's definitely a balancing act with family life, huh?

@mckinneymom

how was chemistry online? i am nervous to take it and you didn't have to do a lab? i thought it required a lab hour? i am in the process of completing all of my pre req's still and cannot wait until i am able to reply! best of luck to all of you!!

@shan_901 , Chemistry was really tough online. There is a lab - you scan in your results and take pictures sometimes when you are doing the lab. It's interesting how it's set up! The professor I had is very helpful and responds right away to questions. I'm finding A&P and Micro easier online than Chem.

Hello all!

I want to wish everyone the best about apply to the Spring '12 program! Reading all of your grades is a little discouraging because a lot of you have 4.0! I have an A in A&P I, B in A&P II and a B in Chem...I'm taking Micro this summer in hopes to make an A. I'm so scared and trying to stay optimistic about this whole experience but it's kind of hard! :uhoh3: :uhoh3: :uhoh3:

McKinneyMom-

Did you say you have taken A&P 2 online also? I am going to retake that one too in Aug. When you took Micro did you have to take pics and upload for the lab? Just trying to figure out what to expect when I start Micro in a couple wks?? Thx!

McKinneyMom · May 20, 2011

@BL3SSD - it's definitely nerve wracking. Hoping for the best for all of us!!

@tejas - I am in Micro now (over June 10th). I haven't had to take any pictures for this lab. There is a weekly lab assignment where you look at virtual slides (we don't use a real microscope), etc. There are lab questions and a weekly lab quiz (along with weekly lecture quizzes). We have not been assigned a "lab report" to turn in. Then there is a big lab final at the end of the class that covers each lab. Feel free to private message me for more info, etc...

Yeah...it's very nerve wrecking trying to"measure up" the competition. So I don't try to because there will always be someone with better this or better that. And so it is with life- something better around the corner. Just make sure that YOU are your best self. And at the end of the day, that's all that one can ask of themselves. We'll get through it!

Hello UTA Online Students!

Who those for will be taking A&PII online at UTA, I have the Fetal Pig LaqPaq (part of the lab requirement) for sale, brand new never opened. To make a long story short, I signed up ready to take the class however my anatomy class from chiro school was accepted at UTA so I was stuck with this $250 LabPaq . Please email me if you're interested: [email protected].

quick question anyone. if you took the hesi exam elsewhere and not at uta, is it okay to just print results that are online or does it need to be an official document like our transcripts? i just submitted my application friday and just thought of this now. and while i have emailed my advisor, it will not be until monday before i will get an answer. just too darn impatient. lol

thanks in advance if you can anser this! good luck to everyone, as well!

@tejas03

Yes, it is nice to have them near and dear. However, sometimes it can complicate things bc you know a grandparent's job is to spoil them rotten and let them get away with muder. lol

Just keep faith. It took me be 2 years to get to this point after almost a decade of trial and error. Man, I wish I knew what I wanted to do when I was right out of HS and was in the right mind frame to get it done.

Good luck!

tejas03 · May 23, 2011

@alinino....I think you can just print from the Evolve website and fax that to them. That's what I did and it was never an issue. How did you do on the HESI?

Yes, I wish I would have done this about 10 years ago. I said right after LVN school I would bridge and fast forward 10 years, a husband, 3 young children later...life has just been in crazy mode but I'm on it now!! hahaha :)

Hope you all are staying dry this rainy Monday morning! Anyone else have any news to share? I did try to call and speak to the education coordinator at JPS on Friday but had to leave a msg. I have some questions I am hoping she can answer about how applicants that work there are selected. Other than that....I'm on to week 2 of patho and it's quite a lot of work!! yikes!!

@KNguyen7170...I'm retaking A&P2 in Aug. I'm a little nervous since it's been 10 years since I took an A&P (got a B and really need an A to pull up my GPA). Any thoughts on the class??!!

alinino · May 23, 2011

Thanks! Yeah, I included a copy in application. I was so nervous turning it thinking I would forget something.

Yes, could of, should of ,would of but we are doing it now. it is very nervewrecking. My motivation has been my current job dissastisfaction. While I am blessed to have a job, I have only 66 days left after being here 9 years. Super excited!

I took a really good professor at NL online. Simply 4 or 5 exams. Case studies and I think a power point.
