Congratulations Ginger!

When you say you haven't heard "glowing" things about TWU, what do you mean? I've heard this from three different people now but haven't seen anything concrete to back the claim up. Can you enlighten us? I'm considering going there this spring, so any information you could provide would be appreciated.

But do remember, acheiving and maintaining a high GPA in a university is nothing to scoff at. Some of us really bust our tails keeping the grades up there. However, I do agree that more than GPA should be considered for admission. For example, I applied at the University of Texas Health Science Center - Houston for this fall and was turned away. It definitely wasn't my GPA that didn't allow me to get in. Had they have taken into account that I was able to maintain a 3.9 + GPA while juggling a full time job at one of the big 4 global accounting firms, three children (ages 8, 3, and 20 months), and still manage to build a small business (hair and nail salon) for my wife and manage the daily processes of it too, then perhaps they would have let me in. Did I gripe and wine about not getting in? YOU BET I DID!!! :angryfire But hey, it's time to move on. TWU....here I come!!!!

Perfect. This is great news, as I currently have a 3.943 cummulative GPA. Thank you for your response. :)

I am also curious about the negative hype that seems to be common with TWU. I am thinking about going to their school. Their NCLEX scores are better than UTHSC-Houston.
