WGU doesn’t have a grade system. It’s Pass/Fail. If you pass a test, it’s considered a B. Instead of having multiple unit exams, you’ll have one HESI exam per didactic course. You have to score an 850 or better to pass. Once you pass, you pass the co...

I'm sorry I answered this late! I am due to graduate from WGU this month! Currently, I'm in my last clinical practicum, post Exit HESI (passed on the first try!). I would recommend this program for everybody, especially if you are a working adult ...

Hello, My name is Bethanie. I'm fairly new to this site. I was just interested in seeing if anyone has applied to the Oct 2019 cohort in Houston, TX for WGU. Pretty much all of my pre-reqs have been completed and I know the deadline to submit ev...

Thank you! I’ll definitely keep you posted. Also, follow the Facebook group.

JBRN and I got admitted a couple of weeks ago!

Yeah just type in WGU Prelicensure on Facebook under “groups” and it’s the one that has 2018 in the name and over 1000 group members. I encourage all Prelicensure applicants and students to look that group up and ask their questions and communicate t...

At least you got in. And you have a 1 month head start. Are you in the WGU Prelicensure Support Group on Facebook?

What location are you gonna be at?

I saw that my status had changed to admitted so I called my EC. He told me that they started selecting early for December 1st for Methodist and I was one of the few selected for December 1st so we’re not in a cohort together, but I’m so happy because...

The requirements for WGU are: Talk to an Enrollment Counselor Apply to WGU (application fee is $65 but I believe they offer a coupon to waive the fee) 2.75 GPA overall and a 2.75 GPA sciences (A&P I and II with labs, and Micro with lab) - Submit ...

Yeah everything is finished for me. My GPA is a 3.3, 90% on the TEAS, and I’m a Pharmacy Technician with other healthcare experience (was a prior nursing school student at a traditional BSN program). Yeah they cancelled the cohort that I would’ve don...

Good luck to you! I’m applying for a November 1st start date but in a different location in Texas. What are your stats, if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah it was a good phone call. He verified what Ms. Grace told me about the October cohort and told me that he would be surprised if I don’t get selected for any cohort in the future. So you and I should both be fine. We have similar stats. Hopefully...

Yeah that would be cool. I believe one of the cohorts will be the first one for the location it’s at so that would be good for us! My EC is supposed to be call me sometime today so hopefully he does and we can talk more about it.

Nope! I have an appointment with my enrollment counselor since September 1st is coming up. Hopefully September brings me good news with WGU. If I don’t get accepted into at least one of these cohorts, then something is clearly wrong. What about you? ...

I’m currently also applying to Chamberlain which I feel I’ll get in but Chamberlain is expensive and I like the idea of being able to work and go to school because I have bills and I’m going through a potential job change. I also got accepted to an L...

Yeah I think that’s the best bet. You just called her? You can ask her to do that for you while you’re in the phone with her. She did it for me because I was unable to get ahold of my EC. Yes I’m ready to get starts as well. I was hoping for October ...

I definitely agree! I told them to sign me up for a few other locations. There are three cohorts with a start date of Nov 1st so I asked to be considered for those. And no I called her because I was getting antsy. Hopefully she didn’t say this just ...

I was told that it's because the hospital we would've been doing clinicals at isn't ready for a cohort at this time. I also have reason to believe that maybe a lot of people didn't apply for the Oct 1st start date. I know for a fact that more peopl...

Actually I just received news from Ms. Grace in the prelicensure program that they’ve decided to cancel the Oct 1st Houston cohort. The next one is December 1st.

With pretty much have the same stats accept I made a 90% on the TEAS. I’m trying to get in to Houston or one of the neighboring cohorts. Someone from the support group just told me that she got accepted into a Lufkin cohort for October 1st.

It feels like you and I are the only people here on allnurses that applied to WGU HTX Oct 1st on this site. And I only know of about 2 others on the Facebook group (you should join if you haven’t). I was told that they haven’t finalized the selection...

Have you heard anything back yet? And do you know if anyone else has applied?

Thank you so much!

I recommend that you call an enrollment counselor at WGU and start talking with them about upcoming start dates in your area. They're the "go-to" people concerning those specific questions. If you're considering applying, that's the first step actu...
