Accepted to Houston!

You're welcome! Yea, she mentioned the average scores 3.50-3.8 gpa, TEAS 85 average. She stated once again, that they take the most recent TEAS score not necessarily the highest. Same with grades, if you retake a class, they'll take the most recent grade so be mindful of that

I went to the open house this morning. A lot of the information shared was some of the same information that, since we're past the application phase, most of us should already be familiar. Things such as gpa, TEAS scores, the actual application process. They went a little more in depth about financial aid and when the best time to apply would be. They also spoke about parking, the cost and the different options available.... let's see, they also talked about the different activities that they have for students on and around campus. We had some current students tell us about their experience with the university, what they know now and what they wish they knew entering the program. What I liked the most about the open house today was that one of the speakers, (who I'm assuming is a professor, I forgot her exact title) went through the classes for the upper level division, semester by semester, and told us in a broad sense what to expect as far as what our work week will look like. Basically she was like expect to be in class this many days and in clinical this many days and expect this type of exam for this kind of class.. She did say that what she has noticed is that the students who struggle the most are the ones that don't have a strong a&p, micro and chem background. She said chem not so much as the other two but she did include it. So if you haven't already began brushing up on those subjects, it might be a good idea. Before I forget they also mentioned looking into the idea of externships during the summer once you start. I wish I could go more into detail, I'm sorry guys! Lol I was so tired.

I am!

My application has been processed. My last name begins with O :)

Nope lol

I'm going!

I am! section 51

You mean if you're not already admitted to the program. I knew this, thanks for the clarification though.

You're right, there were 2 sections on there initially. When I registered, I was only allowed to choose 51, which had houston as the location and there were also only 30 spots available and now section 51 is there but there are now 50 spots total, at least when I searched it. Its also under the same teacher that I initially registered with so I think they may just have combined the sections. Idk what's going on either, I do hope they hop in here to clarify like you mentioned

Actually, you CAN take patho in the fall if you are in houston but only online. I live in houston and I'm currently enrolled in patho for fall. I went to an info session in May and the advisor said that Houston candidates are only allowed to enroll in the online class. You just need a department code to enroll which the advisor should have given to you. I'm not sure why they said its reserved for RNs only...

We're allowed to take it because its a biology course. I had a phone interview with an advisor, I asked her about the class and she gave me the dept code

Me too! I'm applying to the Houston campus. What about you?

I'm not allowed to pm yet since I'm so new to the site but I'm applying to the Houston campus and if you're not in the nursing program yet I believe you only have the option of taking it online and there's only one instructor

I am, I registered for the online class. Are you?

Did you enter all your info into the excel worksheet? You have a great teas score and you said you had a bump so you may be alright. If anything, talk to an advisor, see what they say.

Yea that's a good idea. I also did a google search and found a few practice tests online. I also took my a&p classes at HCC and I notice that some teachers have their PowerPoints available to the public just in case you need a refresher for a&p and chemistry or something

You can take it as many times as you wish. Yes, they take the most recent score so if you're satisfied with your score then just log in to ati and send the scores to twu. I'm in the same boat, I've taken it 3 times but none of those times did I use the school code.

I think you have a pretty solid chance. I spoke with an advisor about a week ago and she told me that for the fall 2017 semester the lowest points accepted to the Dallas campus was a 48.5. I know it varies a little from semester to semester but if you fall somewhere around there then you should have a good chance.

Thanks! I'm applying to the Houston campus

Those are really good stats! What do you think about the school overall since you already attend? And do you plan on taking or have you already taken pathophysiology? I'm applying to the Houston campus as well

Heyy, there's another user who also started a twu spring 2018 forum fyi... Your gpa is awesome. I have a 3.760 and I scored an 89.3 on my Teas V last year. I also have a prior bachelor's degree. Which campus are you thinking of applying to?

Hi! This is my first time posting on this site. My nursing core gpa is a 3.760. I took the Teas V last August and scored an 89.3 composite score and I have a prior bachelors. My total points on the excel sheet is 58. Which campus are you applying to?
