To be honest, if I were you, I would tell my advisor that I want to be considered for all locations. Reason being is that you won’t have clinicals every day or even every month. Most of the program is all online. Clinicals don’t start until month 8. Then, after that, you’ll only have clinicals about every 3 or 4 months ( for a 3 week span) The program is competitive to get in, so if you get a spot (no matter where it is), I think you should take it.

As far as I know, there is no form. Everyone I know had their recommender write it on letterhead.

Pearland actually.

I started in December 2021. Love the program and the fact that it is mostly online and self paced.

I had already taken Statistics. Not biochem. I recently finished my Biochem course through WGU as part of the program. Took me about a month to complete it.

Hey, no I do not have a bachelors degree.

Hi! So, the program has multiple start dates and each start date is at a different location. I told them that I wanted to be considered for the December start date, so that one just happened to be for the Pearland location. However, if I had chose the January start date, it would have been somewhere like Methodist, The Woodlands, or somewhere like that. I’m not sure exactly what locations correlate to which start date. For that, you would need to talk to your enrollment counselor. If I’m not mistaken, the Pearland clinical site has only been around for a year or two? I’m not too sure.

Hi all! I was accepted into the WGU BSN Prelicensure program this past Friday. I am a part of the December cohort in Pearland, TX (in the Houston metropolitan area). If anyone wants to compare their credentials against my own to see if you have a good shot of getting in, here you go: Science GPA - 2.66. I made B's in both Micro and A&P 1, while I made a C in A&P 2. As long as you have at least a 2.5 GPA in these three courses, you will be fine. Overall GPA - 3.33. This was my GPA among the 10 prereq classes they require (including the science courses above). From what I gather, they use the science GPA as a baseline to see if you're eligible. If you have the required 2.5, they'll "disregard" it and only look at your overall GPA for the rest of the admissions process. So if your science GPA is a little low like mine was, I don't think it's that big of a deal if your overall GPA is good. TEAS - I made an 87 on my TEAS. I made an 80 on Reading, 100 on Math, 88 on Science and 86 on English Language. To get a high score, I used the ATI Comprehensive Study Package which was $249. It really helped a lot. If you can afford this, I highly recommend it over the other study books you'll find on Amazon, eBay, etc. The ATI package is tailored by the creators of the exam and goes over all the information that is necessary to do well. Hope this helps! Has anyone else gotten accepted into any cohorts in November, December or January 2021? Hope to see you guys soon in labs, clinicals, etc!

Hi! I used the ATI Comprehensive Study Package and made an 87 on my TEAS. I believe the package was $249. I made an 80 on Reading, 100 on Math, 88 on Science and 86 on English Language. I was accepted into the December cohort in Pearland.
