Here is an update for 2008 applicants in case anyone happens to be wondering. I emailed them today and was told that letters will be delayed yet another week as campus was closed a few days last week...
Thanks for posting. Good to hear that others are still waiting. Actually I was not accepted into the bacc2 program that starts in May so my application was placed into the applicant pool for Fall....

Everyone applying to bacc2 at TWU check your mailboxes! I was told letters are being mailed this week, which means that if they were mailed yesterday they could be in the mail today. Yes, I admit I...

Update for fall 2008 BSN applicants... I emailed the preadmissions advisor at UTMB to ask whether interviews will be held and she said yes. Her exact email below "Yes, we will hold interviews for the...

I know! It makes me wonder if they didn't get enough qualified applicants the first round and chose to interview more. Or, perhaps they just overlooked some folks and brought them in later. I...

Paul - I appreciate your kind response. I might have a few questions down the road and especially if I'm accepted into the program. Are you in bacc2 or 2

I've heard that Methodist has a program that pays current employees to go to nursing school, but I'm not sure about repayment of loans. I wouldn't doubt there are some out there though, with all the...

I didn't realize they are still interviewing students for the accelerated program. Did they tell you how many they are interviewing vs. accepting? And do you really think we will have to wait until...

Congrats, Adrian! Are you interviewing for the accelerated or the 2 year program? I interviewed for the bacc2 program on Feb 7. I'm like you, not stellar GPA (3.5 pre-req and 3.6 science) but I...

I would believe what the admissions counselor told you. If you are in a program and making good grades, I don't see how they could fault you. I think it is a compliment to them that you would...

I've heard from several sources (former students and coordinators of the programs) that the UT Houston program is better organized. Although, when I was at UTH for my interview a few weeks ago they...

did you get an acceptance letter from twu for the accelerated program in houston starting summer 2008? if so, i am confused as to how you were notified before the application deadline. i wondered if...

I've also heard from previous students that they don't really put much weight into the NET scores. My guess is that they basically use it to weed out those who may have a really high GPA but severely...

The only way to get accurate answers to whether they will accept transfer credits is to call the registrar or admissions office. I think I read on their website they will evaluate your nursing...
BrittRN2b replied to jspacegirl's topic in Texas Nursing
Oh no, are you saying you were taken out of the applicant pool because you didn't respond to an email? If so, that is really terrible. You would think that they would at least give you a phone call...
BrittRN2b replied to AdrianLU's topic in Texas Nursing
Adrian, I'm in the same boat as you are - not accepted into teh bacc2 and waiting to hear from UTMB about fall 2008. A current student posted in another thread that they are seeing new recruits...

I got a fourth email today letting me know that a decision has not been made on my application and that I can check the econnect to verify that materials have been received. My gut tells me that...
BrittRN2b replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing
Does anyone know how TWU ranks each applicant for admission? Their website says it is based solely on the NET and GPA, but I'm wondering how much weight they give to the each. For instance, is there...

The wait is killing me. My general anxiety level is way up and I've developed a bad habit of scratching my arms (isn't that odd?). I attribute it fully to the bundle of nerves that I am over this...
