On the application portal. There’s a place that says BLS cert. is there a forum for this years applicants (2022 cohort) made? That would be super helpful for y’all to all chat and help each other with this years app!

Hi! You don't have to wait to send your transcripts. Also, it’s not required to have medical background. I’d super suggest contacting the nursing admissions so you can be sent and watch the webinars that they hold for the next cohorts application cycle and ask the admission counselor questions directly so you can get your name recognized. Also, they change requirements year to year! So that would be super helpful to any people considering applying! I read all of the previous classes allnurses forums literally word for word so many times but I directed questions toward the school themselves since things change! Good luck!

I would say yes. I spend most of my time studying so 60+ hours sounds about right. But it also depends on how you learn. So that’s probably going to be a personal journey. I’d say do not underestimate how rigorous the program is and how much you will have to do. Think about it this way. It's a 3 year program in 11 months. So there’s going to be a large amount of time spent doing school work + once you start doing clinicals.

Also! If you sign up on the nursing website saying you are interested you will get invites to the zoom webinars they hold in the Spring to answer all applicants questions! They are SUPER helpful.

We have specialty rotations. Since the program is so competitive and changing I would SUPER suggest contacting the admissions advisor and ask questions to show interest and get your name recognized. I fully think that bc I communicated so much with her when my app came by she recognized me and saw my determination and it aided in my getting accepted.

@allipalmer Hey Alli! @CSesh same as Alli! our acceptance rate might be a bit different than future cohorts because of the extenuating circumstances but any questions you might have this is a great start!

I requested one transcript in April and another in may. Last one got checked off after the app close date. I got accepted into the program. TTUHSC has literally one of the best ABSN programs and arguably the most competitive program in the state so keep in mind just bc you’re credentials are up to par doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get in. Im glad you got into the two others! Congrats!

@Jennifer DeFriese im sorry to hear you were declined. Maybe you can reach out and see exactly what were the circumstances around the decline so you can improve in those arenas. As far as other programs I would highly suggest Anyone who is needing program specific info to contact an advisor within the programs (I've personally spoken to one at WGU) to get first hand info. I find that more helpful than asking others in the same position as you. PLUS when the advisors get to know you when it comes time to decide on applicants your name will be familiar when your application comes up. Contacting the advisors/websites instead of forums with other applicants will also give you Information and more accurate information so it will heighten your chances of getting accepted ? I hope this helps. I had way more accurate info contacting the app advisors (For the almost two years that I was working on my app) at TTUHSC than the forum. I used the forum moreso for comradery rather than info bc I wanted the most info and best chances possible to get in.

Hi there! I was accepted and I think I have met around 18 members of the cohort so far I can say that the “caucasian female” is actually the minority in my cohort. We have great diversity whether its race, age, career background, family status, etc. I was actually very impressed with how well rounded our group is. If you do plan to reapply for next yr and you plan on asking about who got accepted this year I would be delicate in your approach. I understand it is disheartening to have not been accepted but hopefully some insight to what we have seen as far as demographics helps you.

I would probably wait until after the week of sept 28th if I were you. I got accepted and my appt is oct 5. But the people who were initially accepted have until the 28th to accept or decline so if you want until then and see if you get a spot that maybe someone declined it could save you some money.

I got into Austin! Yay! Invite me!

Denials won't go out until the deadline for accepting passes for those who got invited

Austin!

JUST GOT MY OFFICIAL ACCEPTANCE LETTER EMAIL!!!

don't stress too much. We havent even gotten the emails yet. Just the portal has been updated. Im sure those are updated manually so they probably arent going to be done until they actually send the emails.
