Texas Woman's University - Fall 2017 Weekend/Evening Program

[kdub1985, BSN, RN]

Hello Everyone! I'm starting this page for those of you applying next February for the Texas Woman's University Fall 2017 Weekend/Evening program. I've searched and searched for a thread for this particular program and I haven't been able to find one yet. I am hoping that we can all come together on this page for support and camaraderie.

I am currently studying to finish up my prerequisites. This semester I am taking statistics, psych lifespan and development, Intro to literature and A&P I. As of right now, I will come out with a 4.0 for the semester. I will then only have A&P II and Micro left and if I get As there I will have a 4.0 for my science GPA. I plan on taking the TEAS V in December but I want to begin studying in August. (There is a new version coming out then so I've decided to wait for that. Calculators will be allowed during testing.) I'm shooting for a 90 or above composite score. From reading other threads on this forum, I have gathered that TWU is very competitive.

A little about me: I work full time as a Business Analyst at Samsung Electronics. Nursing will be my third, and hopefully final, career change. Prior to Samsung I was in the Navy. I have been working on my prereqs for the past year and a half and it has all felt very rewarding. I can't wait to start nursing school and continue this journey into my new life as an RN.

I hope to hear from some other 2017 hopefuls so we can continue this journey together. If you are a traditional program hopeful, feel free to post here as well. I have done some very in depth research on entrance requirements so I if you have questions for me feel free to ask. I'm sure I have an answer.

I just submitted my application for TWU Fall 2017 Weekend/Evening Program! I was rejected for Spring 2017 and I know my chances are slim but I figured I might as well try again. I have a 3.73 GPA, scored an 86 on the TEAS, and do not have a previous degree. I am currently taking pathophysiology and plan to work on classes I need for UTA's nursing program in the spring. Best of luck to you!

Thank you! Now, all we can do is wait.

Awesome stats mmorris12! I hope to see you in the Fall.

When I spoke with TWU I was told that for the last admissions cycle (Fall 2016 weekend/evening) the points range was:

Lowest Accepted: 36.4

Highest Accepted: 66.0

I hope this gives everyone an idea of where they should be to be safe for acceptance.

[Mmorris12]

Thank you for the information and due diligence!

I hope everybody does well. I am tired of this angst, truly! The pit in my stomach will not go away. Sheesh.

[kdub1985, BSN, RN]

I know exactly how you feel! Six weeks from Feb. 1 and we will know our fate. :)

[JADN]

Thank you so much for this information! I sure hope it's the same this application cycle because I definitely fall into this range!

Since they only accept 30 people annually, I was told you need to be above a 50 to be competitive.
