    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    Jealous! I wish we were finding out too!!! I wonder if Admissions has been working on Summer & Fall concurrently, or if they will wait until after they've finished with Summer to start

    lol - I didn't mean that last statement to sound so bleak! I'm disappointed that there won't be any interviews, because like some other people have said, I'm not 100% confident in my GPA and HESI...

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    I thought I remember reading that Fall decisions wouldn't be sent out until April. If that's true, this is going to be the longest month of my life! Especially if they aren't doing interviews, so...

    chaos, don't forget that anyone not accepted into the Summer Accelerated program is automatically considered for both Fall programs.... So I think Fall competition is as great as, if not greater...

    I think you misunderstand UT's affirmative action policy. There are no racial quotas to fill....

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    nurseguy86, I wasted a lot of time, money, and opportunities during my first degree, and I have the D's, F's, and W's to prove it! But since it was so long ago (1997-2001), I was able to apply under...

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    Chaos, how long ago was your first degree? Texas has an Academic Fresh Start program where you can have coursework completed more than 10 years ago omitted from your applications....

    I have 4 W's on my transcript evaluation from UT- 1 from last semester (Sociology) and 3 from 2001/2002. I don't think W's from a long time ago will matter too much as long as your recent coursework...

    According to my transcript evaluation, the science GPA has 16 hours- so A&P1, A&P2, Micro, and

    The science classes vary depending on the institution at which you take them. You can find specifics here:

  12. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

    rocket surgery replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it all depends on the student, their other coursework, their job, and the class. Last semester, I took Micro & Chemistry together and got As in both, and As in my other 2 non-science...

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't think you don't get summers off; all the programs are 4 semesters and Summer counts as a semester. So the BSN regular is Fall-Spring-Summer-Fall or Spring-Summer-Fall-Spring. The Pacesetter is...

  14. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

    rocket surgery replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's my two cents- drop the Chemistry. Some nursing programs judge you based on how many times you retake a course, particularly A&P and Micro. Meaning, an A on the 1st attempt of a class counts...

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    crr1987, did UT mention anything about interviews for the regular program? We're getting conflicting information and we're not sure if they're even doing interviews for the regular program anymore....

    Mac, I don't think anyone really knows for sure. There are enough conflicting reports that anything is possible. Perhaps this is the first year that UT isn't doing automatic interviews for everyone...

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's my status too. My best guess is it means that they've received all the required application materials and now you have to just wait for the admission committee to make a decision. The next...

    Congrats Carrie! I'm glad you were able to get everything sorted out! Did Rita say whether or not your UTlink would be updated today, so that the correct GPA's will show up

    Carrie, is that what they told you on the phone or did you go to the office in person? It may take them a few days to reply to an email, especially if there's not an easy answer and they have to do...

  23. TWU Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    rocket surgery replied to AlliTodd223's topic in Texas Nursing

    The TWU website says applications had to be postmarked by today, so as long as it's mailed today, I think they'll accept it, regardless of when it arrives. And I'm assuming ATI sends the score reports...

    Hi guys! This is my first post here, and I was wondering how long it took TWU to receive your TEAS score after you took the test. I took the TEAS yesterday, and got my score report online today. So...
