Happy Friday! As we are all waiting/obsessively thinking about what is happening with admissions at UT, I was wondering what kinds of plans ya'll have should UT not work out--or if you have a first choice of nursing program ahead of UT? I'm especially curious about anyone considering UT Arlington's ABSN program, Texas A&M's ABSN, or other ae-MSN you have considered outside of Texas (I think the only other ae-MSN in the area is at Texas Lutheran and costs roughly 8 million dollars). I would love any and all insights from this thoughtful group of future nurses!

Is GPA really so critical for the prereqs? Also would you mind @SarahNylander sharing the full info from the email you mentioned laying out GPA rates for the two NP programs? I was looking at UT admissions info and the only GPA rates I could find were for both AE NP programs and seemed composite not pre-rec specific. It seems wild to me that so much emphasis would be placed on the GPA for 8 classes, but I have never worked in MSN admissions so what do I know. Also, does anyone have other data provided by admissions they would be willing to share? I have seen the recorded talks on the YouTube channel but was not able to make an in person info session this year. Many thanks!
