Nothing yet! I think we might be hearing within the next two weeks.

From what I remember: What is your philosophy on nursing? When is a time you took initiative? Explain the role of a nurse during a community disaster. How will you make sure you can manage daily life duties and studying? There were 2 written responses. I’m really not fond of their method for the interview portion. They give about a 1 and 45 seconds to prepare for the questions then another 1 min and 45 seconds to respond.. bleh. I’m hoping I get the opportunity to get interviewed from them again. It’s my top school. ? Do you know where to find good BSN applicant questions? I can’t find many here, it’s usually for graduate programs or for jobs.

They should be calling you soon I’m sure! Check your voicemail! They left me one yesterday. I applied to Galens BSN program! Honestly I’m still unsure. I’m thinking Galen over UIW, it’s a bit cheaper. My cousin is on her last semester with UIW and she said Hospitals prioritized Galen students over UIW for clinicals. I just wanted to have more options this round. Hope this helps! Let’s keep each other updated!

Hello! I see a few similar users from UTHSCSAs thread! I also applied to UIW and just got called to schedule an interview yesterday! My top choice is UTHSCSA, but at this point I really don’t care where I go. I just really want to be a nurse already! This is my 2nd round applying to UTHSCSA- I messed up by not applying to multiple programs.. lesson learned! My Stats: Cumulative: 3.1 Pre Reqs: 3.4 TEAS 80. Best wishes to you all!

Greetings Fall 2021 applicants! I hope everyone stayed warm and safe during the Winter storm! This will be my second time applying to UTHSCSA. I applied for the Spring and got interviewed- I didn’t make the cut. I was told it was extremely competitive this year due to the TEAS being waived for this year. Double the applicants! DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! I wasn’t wise and didn’t apply to multiple programs for the Spring.. hence why I’m having to re-apply again AND this time to other programs! I applied to UIW and Galen. I just got called to schedule an interview with UIW and Galen has accepted me already (it’s extremely easy to get accepted from them...) My Stats: Cumulative: 3.1 Pre Reqs: 3.4 TEAS 80 I know.. GPA isn’t the best. However, I’ve been told there have been people that get in with below 3.5. I’ve been a MST at University Hospital going on my 6th year! I love it, but I’m so eager to do more!! We should be receiving invites for interviews by the end of March. I can’t stress this enough, PREPARE AND PRACTICE FOR THIS INTERVIEW! Learn from my mistakes. I normally excel very well with in person interviews.. however this was my first time doing a pre-recorded interview and I didn’t prepare as appropriately. Best wishes to all!

Greetings fall 2021 applicants! I hope everyone stayed safe during the storm! This will also be my second time applying to UTHSCSA. I applied for the Spring and got interviewed but did not make the cut. It is even more competitive now that they have waived the TEAS. This has created an even higher applicant pool. DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED! Learning from my mistakes, I applied to two other programs rather than just UTHSCSA for this round. UIW and Galen are my next options! UTHSCSA is my top choice and I really hope I get accepted this round. I believe I didn’t excel as much on the interview as I’m not used to doing pre-recorded interviews and I should’ve prepared for it more appropriately. I normally do great with in person interviews and I thought I had this one in the bag- I WAS WRONG. PREPARE! PREPARE! I’ll be recording myself with nursing practice questions to see how I look. The practice questions they offer are unrelated to nursing so I believe doing this will help us all immensely. My STATS: Cumulative : 3.1 Pre Reqs: 3.4 TEAS: 80 They’re O.K, but not very competitive. As for experience I’ve been a medical surgical tech at University Hospital for 6 years! I love it so much, but I’m extremely eager to do more! We should be receiving interview invites towards the end of March. Best wishes to all!
