Can I even get in

What is your overall GPA?

You're not going to have much luck at UT Health under a 3.0. The average for my cohort was like a 3.7. When are you taking the TEAS test? The campus in San Antonio looks at your overall GPA and your math/science GPA.

I also attend Lone Star and recently was accepted into their nursing program. Have you thought about attending Lone Star's RN program? What are your grades in A&P1 and English 1301? You only need an "A" in those classes to be accepted there. BSN programs in the Houston area can be hard to get into even with a 4.0 GPA.

LVN would also be a good route because you could bridge over to RN and then do RN-BSN online. I know people with a lower GPA that can't get into the RN program that are taking that route. I don't think you would be wasting your time or money because you could work as an LVN before starting your ADN. Best of luck to you!

Im not sure of my overall gpa since I haven't calculated it. But I know it's probably in the twos since I have 120 or so credits from my bachelors which was a 2.3 and the additional 30 or so credits are from Lonestar where I have a 3.2 now. But unfortunately my bachelors credits are going to out weight my new credits just because there's more of them.

I don't plan on taking the teas anytime soon. Since the schools I'm looking at require the hesi. But I did take that and scored an 86...

I planned on applying to the Rn program for the fall start at Lonestar and found out I needed to take math 0309 or something because my precalc wasn't accepted. So that really put a damper on my plans. I just want to get started sooner than later.

I didn't have high hopes for UT but I figured it doesn't hurt to try, I've heard people that had a 4.0 and didn't get in where as I know someone personally with a 3.2 and she's in her last two semesters.

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement, I'm going to apply to lone stars lvn for the fall start and if I don't get in I'll just retake one of my A & Ps, since I got a B in both and try again for January.

I almost had to check and make sure I didn't post this. I was just accepted into Lone Star's ADN and have a business degree. My first university experience was vastly different. At 19 I was not a good student. I lacked motivation and had a 2.something GPA. I had a B in A&P I and a B in English from my first go-round. I decided to take a hybrid 8-wk A&P I and 8-wk English this semester and got an A in both. I applied right before the deadline as soon as the grades were posted. Take a summer I math to meet your requirement and apply to lone star. It's an 8pt scale. 4 pts come from your Pre-Req GPA (so those 2 A's gave me a 4.0 or 4 pts) and then 4pts are your HESI grade. I got a 89.something which gave me an application score of 7.568 which got me into Montgomery. This fall seems to have cut around 7.066. Spring cut around a 7.4 score. If necessary, re-take pre-req's for the A. they offer 8-wk versions to cut on time.

Feel free to msg me any questions about it.

Oh, I should add that I decided to to nursing over Christmas... It took me 8-wks to refresh and raise the grade on my pre-req's. If I wanted UT Health it would take me much longer. Being older I decided that the fastest path to full time pay was the best decision. I'm okay with not getting a med-center job immediately upon graduation and will immediately begin my bridge to BSN. Lone Star Cy-Fair is only an 18 month program but I wanted Montgomery.

How long ago did you do your bachelors? Have you considered the Academic Second Chance program? This could be the best, not the easiest, way forward.
