TCU about 100k UT 37k

I applied to Baylor, TCU and UT and got into TCU and UT and alternate listed at Baylor. I was set on going to TCU until I got into UT. Now I am just really confused. Background is I am married with 2 kids and live in Houston. I got Houston clinical site for TCU but I believe 14 months is at one hospital where as UT does clinicals through about 10 clinical sites not sure which is better. I would have to leave my family for about a year if I choose TCU. I have heard good things about both and some bad things about one of them. Anybody with any experience with the programs or that knows anything please help. I have done pretty extensive research so people currently in the programs or grads of these programs would be great.

anyone going to start a fb group for UT

My status just changed to admitted but haven't gotten the email yet.

lol I know one thing, hopefully the program isn't this all over the place.

eagle I don't believe that is how they scheduled the interviews just fyi. I was the very last interview period and my last name starts with a G.

did you get accepted to Baylor tweety?

IKjjuni366. I am also alternate listed at Baylor, accepted to TCU and interviewed at UT on the 27th. I know someone that was alternate listed last year at Baylor and got a call for acceptance a week later... he didn't take the spot. He said he felt like there were other places that fit him better. I believe there will be spots open up at Baylor the question is will you take the spot at Baylor if you do get into UT before then.

Any update when the second group of interviews will take place at Baylor?

Yes!!! Congrats all who got accepted. Anyone from Houston area that plans to do clinicals in Houston?

Now that all interviews are done did they tell the last interviewing group when to expect letters?

Just got an invite to interview Sept 27 3:30

Congrats to everyone interviewing. Also will be there Aug 26th. Anyone know how many interviewing?

Just got an interview to TCU. 3.4, CCRN-CSC ACLS BLS PALS, GRE 306/5 Writing, 3 years CVICU. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Good luck everyone

Awesome. Aug. 22 here now the real fun starts. Congrats

o ok simular stats here 3.4 ccrn, csc 3 years CVICU 306, 5 writing CSC was not an easy test but I found it easier than the CCRN. If you are in heart recovery you should do fine with some studying. For me about half of the questions they gave you a scenario with mutiple gtts followed with about 10 vitals ( including cvp,pa numbers, svr etc.) and asked what you thought was happening and how you would fix the problem. Having a good understand of cardiac patho, hemodynamics and difference in when you would use this gtt rather than that one ie. nitro vs nipride is beneficial. Good luck

any way you can share your stats?

I applied for the Houston site, maybe being an offsite will have an advantage to application. Guess time will tell.

Yes applied to all 3 of them. Fingers crossed for interviews we will see.

JwOkStRN are you in the program or affiliated with the program or how do you know this?

is it just your name on Facebook as shown here?

what are your stats if you don't mind me asking?

I have not heard anything back yet but I just complete my app last week so others who completed it earlier may have already received one. I did ask though and the administration lady told me that about 200 people have applied, they would give out around 100 interviews and accept 50-60.

when did you hear back about your interview date? Have also applied
