Fall 2011 TCU hopefuls

Published

Is anyone else applying to TCU for next fall? I'm just waiting on my final grades from this semester at my CC before I mail my application. I still have to take A&P 2 and Micro in the spring, but I got a 91.86 on my HESI. I'm really anxious to just get my stuff in the mail already!

And good luck to everyone else! :D:up:

Did you not apply to other nursing programs? If not, then yes I'd just transfer to TCU and then apply for the Spring term. Keep in mind that there are certain rules to declare your major as Nursing as a TCU student. This is from their site:

Change of Major

  • A TCU student may change to the nursing major if the student is not on academic warning or probation and has or can reasonably expect to have a 2.5 TCU cumulative GPA by the time the student is ready to enroll in courses limited to the nursing major.
  • Student should file an intent to enroll in first practicum courses by October 1 for the spring semester and February 1 for the fall semester. Forms are available in the Harris College of Nursing administrative office.
  • Permission to enroll in practicum courses is determined by the availability of clinical placement slots in clinical facilities.
  • The student must meet the requirements for graduation based upon the published TCU Bulletin at the time of entry into the major.

So if you do decide to transfer to TCU just make sure you get it done by October 1st... and then you can start in the Spring.

I applied to a lot of schools; in california, and out of state and I have got denied by 4 so far :( but worst case if I don't get into any other programs then I will probably transfer to TCU fall and try to get in for the spring. I also thought that TCU was suppose to be an easier school to get into because of the cost, that is why I applied. I wont find out until Saturday if I've got in or not but I'm pretty sure from everyone else's posts that it will be a no. And thanks for all that information :)

Did you apply any where else???

And to let everyone know I talked to a woman today that is head of transfers for the nursing program and she said that there were 33 or so spots available for transfer students and that about 200 people applied to the program. Good luck to those who haven't heard!

No, I got put on the wait-list. The thing with TCU is that the students who are already at TCU and are Nursing intended majors "automatically" get into the Harris College of Nursing. They don't have to apply... I know a few private schools that have the same policy... so that only leaves an X amount of seats for transfer students.

I applied to 6 schools and all are in Texas. I've only been accepted by one so far and I'm still waiting to hear back from the others... which should be by late April/ early May. Let us know when you hear back! And good luck everyone!!!

Are you already a student at TCU? I thought you guys don't have to apply to your nursing school... you "automatically" get in? And congratulations, by the way!!!
