She curves our test grade so that the class average is 80. The first test had a 20 pt curve, 2nd had a 15 pt, 3rd had a 20 pt. Grades range from like 50 to 105. There is a wide range of grades. There...

If you look at the sample plan for junior first semester on the TWU website, it tells what classes we will be taking. It looks like its Concepts, Assessment, Pharm and Patho. Then you can log in to...

OK - by school is a place called the Mardi Gras Cafe - I called them and they have cheap happy hour specials, and a large outdoor patio. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous all week....

I figure the best way to pick a location is to stick to somewhere nearby school. What's around there? I meant to find something with yelp on my phone when I was at Patho Monday, but I forgot. Maybe...

Yeah, I don't think they have "open houses" either. When I asked about a tour of the Dallas campus before I applied, they told me point blank they weren't giving tours bc they are building a new...

I don't mind sharing - I had a 3.83 gpa and a 94 on the HESI with an 800 in critical thinking. Dallas folks - anybody up for meeting up somewhere for happy hour next Friday, 11/6 to celebrate and get...

I couldn't agree more. It hasn't sunk in yet. My first reaction was shock, then excitement, then happy tears, then panic. It's real now. I keep thinking, now I really have to do this, which is kinda...

So... the NET obviously counted when you look at #4 and #5. #5 was rejected with a HIGHER gpa and LOWER NET, while #4 was waitlisted with a LOWER gpa and HIGHER NET. The HESI has to count for...
This is a good point - and an option I considered very seriously. However I ultimately decided to go for the BSN, and here's why: direct-entry master's programs (at least the ones I looked at) are...

Did anyone confirm that they will send both acceptance AND rejection letters? Or are we just supposed to assume we didn't get in if we don't get a letter by the 5th or so? I am surprised they didn't...

I heard this somewhere else as well. I hope this is not the case, because I also have a gpa on the low side, and a high HESI score. The only thing I can think of is that this is the first semester...
As a second degree pre-nursing student, I can relate to you. I am in my 30's, worked for the last 5 years in sales, and just applied to a BSN program in my area. I have second guessed myself a lot...
