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:

Honestly, I would go to El Centro BECAUSE of the cost. Without any financial aid it could cost you nearly $40,000 a year to attend TCU. Is that really worth it in the long run when you can cut the cost dramatically? Going to TCU could cost you $100,000 in loans before graduation...before you have a job. And anyway, you don't get paid more for the BSN verses the ADN. But you will have to weigh the pros and cons. :confused:

@mirc

it has been a while since you posted that..... have you decided where you are going?

No, actually i havent but regardless i the cost i have come to the conclusion that education should never be put a price, and since my ultimate is to become a CRNA I elieve I need to be as competitive as I can and the university will help me a lot! Dont you think?

Yes, I completely agree with you. A BSN will be much more beneficial for your own educational purposes since you want to become a CRNA. So are you allowed to register for classes yet?

Yes í am, i have the acceda codes And everything, i just need to pay my deposit. Are you in a nursing program or something?

I just looked at my post from last night and WOW did I seem pushy for El Centro!!!! I did not mean for that, whoops!! I was only thinking cost, but since you don't just want to be an RN then TCU is the way to go. Most hospitals want you to have a bachelors anyway.

That is really great that you can already register and everything! Do you have a choice of certain professors vs others?

I was rejected by TCC and am on the waitlist for TCU. So, fingers crossed I can get in!! I met with ****** yesterday and she told me is was a 50-50 shot.

Thats great! I hope someone rejects their application, that way you can get in. I really don't know any of the teachers so I don't jab any preference. But I'm sure that they are all great. Have you thought if applying at el centro? Why didn't you get into TCC?

Me too, me too! I am really hoping I get in. I thought about it, but I can't remember why I didn't apply there... I didn't get in to TCC I guess because there were a lot of AMAZING applicants that were better.

Will you be taking out loans or something if ou get in to TCU? Or what will you do?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Yes, LOT OF LOANS! Unless my FAFSA gets me more than I think it will. Do you have all your finances squared away?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

I do Now, I've got all my loans approved , s scholarship and some grants! Will need lots of help. How much are you requesting per semester? How much do you think it will be?

sdrenfro, were you a transfer student? I was thinking about applying to TCU as a transfer in the fall cause all I need is my statistics to apply for them.. I took the HESI earlier this year for Baylor's BSN program and I'm going to take it again for ADN programs this fall for the spring.. How was your GPA/HESI scores for TCU I know they look at math and reading and mine were an 80,86 but I know I need to re-take to do better.. I know for transfers it's competitive!
