Just FYI ~ from Nursinglink.com "How difficult is it to get into nursing school? It's pretty tough. In many nursing programs, competition is fierce for a limited number of spots, so students need stellar grades from high school or their first few yea...

Well, it was only for the dallas area - for example, north dallas, central dallas, irving, plano/allen/frisco area,.....so i'm not sure how that works for you guys in Houston. I wish there were more people on this board for the Dallas campus too.

I'm not sure how they grade in clinicals - I will let you know if i find out before classes start. When i got my acceptance packet it had a clinical preference form. I'm not sure if they do this in Houston though. So i was able to rate my top 5 pre...

TWUness1 : congratulations! I too was accepted to the Spring 2009 program at TWU -DALLAS. (I'm guessing you do mean Texas Woman's University). I received some pretty negaitvity from those rejected on another thread (which in part i can understand! I...

You know i am so glad I stopped to read this thread! I was in another thread for Spring 09 of a specific college, and it got negative once the rejection letters started coming in about the fairness of calculations. BUT ~ i was accepted into Texas Wom...

I have no problem sharing. I'm not "upset", I just got my feelings bruised because it felt like a personal attack since i did get in, and i have been nothing but supportive. I'm over it.

It is from Dean Patricia Holden-Huchton, RN,DSN,CNE. Of course this is a summary - not word for word..that's a long letter to type in a blog. It says the standard: "On the behalf of the CON, it is my pleasure ot inform you that you have been accepte...

Are you wanting me to type the whole thing? What is it that you want to know? I'd be glad to give you any information that i can.

You know, maybe i should not have shared the fact that i felt bad, and what my GPA is. I am one of those that got accepted with an original 3.6 GPA and received the .4 advantage. I believe we should have all got in, there just aren't enough teacher...

Nursetobe12: i am SO proud of you! Your faith will pull you through, and you could not be more right in the fact that your nursing counselor called you as that door being kept open. Hold your head high b/c you are going to be an awesome nurse somed...

I'm at a loss, i feel really bad for those that got a rejection letter or waitlisted. If i did not have the 0.4 advantage there is no way i would have gotten accepted- i would have only had a 3.6! So, those of you with higher GPAs without the .4 adva...

She said there were about 100 applicants that weren't "eligible". I am hoping the best for all of you ~ and that you will get word quickly one way or another.

Just incase anyone else was interested....i called Denton office - there were estimated 500 "eligible" applicants for both Denton/Houston. They were able to accept 100 for Dallas and 90 for Houston.

I am curious to know how many applicants there were and how many slots were open....does anyone know?

I believe Denton sends out all acceptance/denial/waitlist information for Dallas and Houston campuses. I wish you the best :typing

Although i already know my answer - i am still on the board checking furiously for any news...i will encourage each of you and be sad with those of you who may be sad - and i am anxiously awaiting to know your news as well. As nursetobe12 says - go ...

Oh Princess Wanna be ~ i'm so sorry! You ARE good enough - it's just so competetive. I know the only reason i got in was b/c i took all my pre-reqs at TWU. Hang in there - eerything happens for a reason. I know it probably doesn't help much - just...

I live just north of Denton - so with the letters going out yesterday - it may be a few days more (hopefully only one) to get to Houston. Hang in there ~ i'm thinking positive for all of you waiting.....:typing

A friend of mine got the same email! I'm hopeful that somehow you will get to go. And waitlisted is different then Denied ~ right?

Huh, that's odd ~ i have no idea about registration. I have heard that they make your schedule for you. So i don't know.

Thanks Nursetobe12 ~ please let me know as soon as you know something!

I don't mind sharing - i did all of my pre-reqs at TWU so i got the .4 added to my GPA - originally it was a 3.609 so with the .4 it was 4.0. My net was 64% for the reading comprehension. (I am awful at standardized tests, in my opinion) My net sco...

They tell everyone that - even at the Denton campus. I would think they sent them all out at the same time..... Good luck - i will be praying for all of us!

And just to let you all know ~ a thin envelope does NOT mean it is a rejection!!! Apparently we have to "accept" the offer into the program - my letter says i will be receiving additional information from the program coordinator.

OMG - i just got my letter of acceptance into the Nursing program - Dallas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am shaking, i can hardly believe it!
