This may be a far fetched thread but I am planning on applying next fall (or second half of year June 2nd-Dec 31st) for the Fall 2015 start AP BSN program (also applying on campus just to cover my bases). A little jealous that other schools like TWU can apply in the semester before the they are looking to start. Either way I was thinking this thread could help those who are needing to know the process and others who have info from advisors that could share with the rest of us. So here are my questions:
A. I have not taken HESI yet but UTA's does not require sciences from what I have found online and been told by others. Any tips on preparing for this? Which prereqs would you recommend having done prior to testing?
*B. Transferring outside pre-nursing requisites Intro to Nursing, Patho and Pharm. I got info from an advisor that I must fax a "portfolio" including an official transcript, copies of catalog description of course from college, and copy of syllabi for each course. Has anyone else done this and is this done AFTER courses are completed and appear on transcript? Or before the classes are taken? I am considering Brookhaven for these. Is it possible these NOT be approved? Did anyone stack these courses Intro and Pharm same semester or Patho and pharm?
C. UTA upper division elective. Medical Terminology is what is accepted for UTA AP BSN program. How have others taken the course? Such as online, over summer, flex term?
*As you can see B is my biggest concern.
If there is anything else someone would like to add please feel free. I want this thread to help make the application process as smooth as possible for others as well.
Jess422, do you mind sharing your HESI score? I have very similar GPA's to you as well as no considerations. However, I was wait listed for online. I believe it is due to my HESI score not being as high as others. Congrats on your acceptance! :)
Do any of you know if traffic violations would be included under "been cited or charged with any violation of the law?" in the acceptance form?
Traffic violation do not count as long as you weren't arrested. For example, if it was a regular speeding ticket or failure to stop at a stop sign, you don't need to worry about that.
Past experience with friends (when I was working on my first degree at UTA [finance; 2008-2012]) as well as past threads from previous semesters/rounds leads me to think a "fair amount" of wait list folks do get offers later on. But that's obviously speculative & there's no guarantee. Unfortunately for us applicants, they don't provide any info on number they wait list, nor have I ever seen any info suggesting how many are put on wait list.
Thank you Beth0504. I have already submitted my acceptance form. :) I just want to make sure after we submit the form we do not receive a confirmation e-mail or anything right?
