Hey everyone! I applied to UT houston and I'm waiting to hear if I got an interview. Applicants for years in the past started threads that everyone went to and kept everyone updated on information from the school, and it's nice to hear from possible (fingers crossed) other future classmates. If you don't mind, I'd also like to post our application info: GPA (science and overall), NET scores and experience.
My stats:
Overall GPA: 3.93
Science GPA: 3.75 (I think- UT link is down today :wink2:
NET: composite score was 88% (96 percentile)
I'm currently employed as a CNA in a hospital (only have about a month experience so far)
Hello everyone! I have the required/recommended nursing books for the UT-Houston SON curriculum for the first semester. If anyone is interested in buying these books off of me, please PM me or reply to my e-mail at [email protected]

1. NCLEX-RN Examination 3rd Editon (Saunders)
2. Medical-Surgical Nursing Health & Illness Perspective 8th Ed (Phipps', Mosby)
3. Physical Examination and Health Assessment 4th Ed (Saunders)
4. Nursing Research Methods and Critical Appraisal for Evidence-Based Practice
Hey guys i got a quick question. At the moment im attending North Harris community college, i wanted to apply for UT houston. They want 5 credit hours of Electives and 3 credit hours of visual or performing arts. I just signed up for COSC 1401 (Microcomputer Applications {4 credit hours}). And for the Arts i signed up for Art 1301 (Art Appreciation {3 credit hours}).
Now my question is, when i looked at the Prereq's required for Basic BSN it said you need to take electives which are academic courses only. So will my COSC 1401 work as an elective for UT Houston or not? What did you guys take as your electives and Arts?
i suggest you shoot them an email concerning this matter. [email protected]
Thanks for the email address. I have emailed them on several occasions and called them as well, but no reply so far....im still waiting. Anyways, what electives and arts did you take? Any one else wants to shed some light on this matter. I want to sign up for my classes asap for the FALL semester.
i took art history for the arts. as for electives, they just pick the ones with the highest grades--i had a couple classes that were not part of prereqs.
keep emailing them but this issue is quite important and each scenario is different.
i just signed up for cosc 1401 (microcomputer applications, 4 credits) and arts 1301 (art appreciation, 3 credit). the ut, houston check off list says that i need 5 credit hours of electives; well, cosc 1401 takes care of 4 credit hours ( that is if it is transferable?), so what would be a good class/es for additional electives that i need?

unless you are really good at math take something else (to boost your gpa). i am taking math1314 now and it is counted as an elective (statistics fills the math requirement) i only took 1314 to finish my associates degree but now i wish i would have taken something fun, like genetics
I took calculus and statistics for math. For fine arts I took the history of rock and roll. For my electives the two they chose to count were biodiversity research and economics.
